The Lord Is Testing Me

Yes, He is. But I'm up for it, I think. Honestly, I see God changing my life for the better in many ways, especially recently. And I think part of that is improving my relationships with people. Today, I found out that our youth group is doing Secret Santa. So we will give little notes and trinkets and such for the next few weeks, and on Christmas we present them with their gift. I. Am. SO. Excited. Since I only came today, I got the last pick from the bag. And it's not easy. Which is completely my own fault. Younger Sammy found no need to make friends with this person, and so I know very little about the recipient. HOWEVER that will not stop me from trying my hardest. I hope my little notes will bring some smiles, and maybe, with time, I'll find the perfect gift. The Lord is indeed testing me, but I need this. And hopefully this starts a nice friendship. In the meantime, it would be SO HELPFUL if I could find this kid on ANY form of social media. But alas.

Admittedly I haven't heard the original song. But this cover? Is so gorgeous. Like, don't look at it as a sad song. Look at the beauty of the voice and the music and the honesty of the lyricist.
