He's Turned My Mourning Into Dancing Again


So I realized it has been awhile since I have updated everyone on how James and I are doing. Anyways, as most know I lost my job at Clovis Unified October 1st, 2010. All I was told was that I did not fulfill my duties and responsibilities at an acceptable level. After many many hours, days, and months of looking for a job I had an interview with Bright Horizons in Davis and well that went very well. We were about ready to pack up our live in Fresno and move to Sacramento, but the only thing was when I called to see if I got the job I was told the job was put on a hiring freeze. After that things went down hill. We went to take our 30 day notice back and that was when we were told our apartment was sold and we couldn't take back our 30 day notice. Then we decided well we needed somewhere to go so we moved back to Santa Maria at my parents house. We then came to Fresno for a visit for a week and was staying with friends. We went job hunting during that time and on April 1st as we were job hunting we were rear-ended. I had whiplash for about a month and the honda was totaled. We were lucky for such wonderful friends that let us use an extra car and to help us find a car. James and I then have things turn for the best. James and I got a 2006 Chevy Colbolt LS and when that happened we went to Sacramento for the jazz festival. During this time I also got a part time job at Kids Kare at the Parks as a preschool teacher. Also, during this time we were told we could rent a room at our friends' house. We went home over the weekend and got all of our stuff and we sang this song at church at the Harbor and it spoke to both James and I. I just want to say amen to this song because it is so true for us right now.

He's turned my mourning
Into Dancing again
He's lifted my sorrows
I can't stay silent
I must sing
For His joy has come

Where there once
Was only hurt
He gave His healing hand
Where there once
Was only pain
He brought comfort
Like a friend
I feel the sweetness
Of His love
Piercing my darkness
I see the bright
And morning sun
As it ushers in
His joyful gladness

You've turned my mourning
Into dancing again
You've lifted my sorrows
And I can't stay silent
I must sing
For Your joy has come

Where there once
Was only hurt
You gave Your
Healing hand
Where the once
Was only pain
You brought comfort
Like a friend
I feel the sweetness
Of Your love
Piercing my darkness
I see the bright
And morning sun
As it ushers in
Your joyful gladness

Your anger lasts
For a moment in time
But Your favor is here
And will on me for
All my life time
