Even if the healing doesn't come, and life falls apart, and dreams are still undone. You are God. You are good. Forever faithful One.....these lyrics are from Kutless "Even If". Today I sit and ponder, why Lord?
Why can't I find a job? Why am I faced with co-parenting issues? How come I feel so ill equipped for life? Why do I feel like I have nothing to give? Why 1400 miles Lord?.....I started playing a playlist of songs I put together for a friend, and after reading from Jesus Calling ~ this song started to play...... I realized He is there. He is GOD, forever faithful. I will continue to put all my eggs in His basket.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 John 1:7
I will continue to put myself out there, and serve. I read from several devotionals each day, and each day they all give me different messages, today more that one referred to walking in the light. Fellowship in each other. So many times I get caught up in myself. I start feeling self pity for my circumstances, and wonder if I will ever find a job, or when I find a job does that mean the end of being home for my kids. I am blessed to have the tremendous support of my friends, family, and my church family. Today, and every Monday I serve the homeless in my town. Brown bag lunches. We make sandwiches, and put with water, apple, and a granola bar. Then we go to the Salvation Army and distribute the lunches, along with other donated items for them. Starbucks donates coffee. Today we had 3 sleeping bags, and toiletries. I was even allowed access to the camp in the woods. Seeing first hand how they are living, and surviving on just a few things.
They were very grateful for the food, coffee, and items we delivered. I am continually reminded of how many blessing I have, and when I stop to count them I run out of fingers and toes. I will try even if surrounded by chaos and so many things out of my control (which by the way is EVERYTHING) I will give it to GOD. Let go and let GOD take control and allowing peace in the chaos to wash over me.
"Even If" ~ Kutless
Sometimes all we have to hold on to
Is what we know is true of who You are
So when the heartache hits like a hurricane
That could never change who You are
And we trust in who You are
Even if the healing doesn't come
And life falls apart
And dreams are still undone
You are God You are good
Forever faithful One
Even if the healing
Even if the healing doesn't come
Lord we know Your ways are not our ways
So we set our faith in who You are
Even though You reign high above us
You tenderly love us
We know Your heart
And we rest in who You are
Even if the healing doesn't come
And life falls apart
And dreams are still undone
You are God You are good
Forever faithful One
Even if the healing
Even if the healing doesn't come
You’re still the Great and Mighty One
We trust You always
You’re working all things for our good
We’ll sing your praise
Even if the healing doesn't come
And life falls apart
And dreams are still undone
You are God You are good
Forever faithful One
Even if the healing
Even if the healing doesn't come
You are God and we will bless You
As the Good and Faithful One
You are God and we will bless You
Even if the healing doesn't come
Even if the healing doesn't come
