This is the stuff

I recently had the pleasure to attend a concert which include Francesca Battistelli.  I was previously introduced to her music by a good friend, and it speaks to me.  "I'm Letting Go" has been a favorite for a while, but it was recently supplanted by "This is the Stuff".  The video is a little cheesy, but listen to the music and read the lyrics.  Worth remembering - God can use our frustrations for good!

Prayer - God, help meremember that you care about all of it - the big stuff, the little stuff, the frustrating stuff.  It can all be used for good.  So whether I'm looking for my keys or running behind, help me keep You in mind.

I lost my keys in the great unknown
And call me please 'cause I can't find my phone

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
Might not be what I would choose
But this the stuff You use

45 in a 35 sirens and fines
While I'm running behind
Whoa ho ho

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess,
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
Might not be what I would choose
But this the stuff You use

So break me of impatience
Conquer my frustrations
I've got a new appreciation
It's not the end of the world
Whoa ho ho ho

Oooooh This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff
Someone save me
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
Might not be what I would choose
But this the stuff You use

Whoa whoa ho ho
This is the stuff You use.
