This is the Stuff
By: Francesca Battistelli

I lost my keys in the great unknown
And call me please 'Cuz 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 gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

45 in a 35
Sirens and fines while I'm running behind
Whoa

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 gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is 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
Oh Oh Oh

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
And I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

Oh Oh Oh Oh
This is the stuff You use




SO, I've learned how to play this song on my guitar... so I constantly get this song in my head. Now, I truly love this song so I'm OK with it! BUT every time I sing it.. I think to myself... that is ALL that drives her crazy?!?!?! I can think of a MILLION more things that can drive me strait to craziness... Like if it was MY song... it would maybe go on for hours! :) haha...

So, I have composed some of my own lyrics to her song:

Granny Mae, turns in front of me
going 5, when I'm speeding my drive

OR

Explain the directions clearly
Then Billy Bob does what ever he pleases

OR

Basher naps for hours for dad
mommy's turn, we won't nap for the world


You get the point... there are many things that drive us CRAZY! :) Thought I would add my versions (try singing them to the song.. they KINDA work! :))

BUT, sadly the point of the song isn't to get off our chest what drives us crazy, but to realize that those things are what humbles us. Those are the things that God uses to make us just a little bit better (refined in the fire). So next time you stand in that line for an hour to do one SIMPLE thing, pray that God uses that hour to his glory! :)

What drives you crazy these days?!?! :)
