The Next Chapter - December 2, 2012

The Next Chapter ~

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord. —Jeremiah 17:7

Blind faith and trust in the Lord.  Have you ever witnessed someone's body fail them?  Watching a disease take someone's life is difficult, as a person of faith you have so many questions, starting with why?  Knowing my hope, my life and my future are in the Lord help and remind me that every day is a present, and every breathe a gift.  My friends remember always the bible tells us over and over again, this home is a temporary one, and our true home is the kingdom of heaven.  

As you can see am thinking of someone, and her journey.  I only met her briefly, and honestly don't know if she even remembers me..... but I pray for her everyday and her journey to our Father.  I write this blog for me, and processing my feelings, my day, my journey.  Trusting in the Lord and putting all my eggs in his basket. 

Jeremiah 29:11-13
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

I Believe In You ~ Sinead O'Connor
(Words and Music by Bob Dylan)

They ask me how I feel
And if my love is real
And how I know I'll make it through.
They look at me and frown,
and like to drive me from this town,
They don't want me around
'Cause I believe in you.

They show me to the door,
They say "don't come back no more"
'Cause I don't be like they'd like me to,
And I, I walk out on my own
A thousand miles from home
But I don't feel alone
'Cause I believe in you.

I believe in you even through the tears and the laughter,
I believe in you even though we be apart.
I believe in you even on the morning after.
Oh, when the dawn is nearing
Oh, when the night is disappearing
Oh, this feeling is still here in my heart.

Don't let me drift too far,
Keep me where you are
Where I will always be renewed.
And that which you've given me today
Is worth more than I could pay
And no matter what they say
I believe in you.

I believe in you when a winter turn to the summer,
I believe in you when white turns to black,
I believe in you even though I be outnumbered.
Oh, though the earth may shake me
Oh, though my friends forsake me
Oh, even that couldn't make me go back.

Don't let me change my heart,
Keep me set apart
From all the plans they do pursue.
And I, I don't mind the pain
Don't mind the driving rain
I know I will sustain
'Cause I believe in you.
