The letter "y" is a little letter often lost towards the end of the alphabet, but when you put a "wh" in front of it, it turns into a BIG word. God is the only one who can tame it, when it is hard to control and understand.
This is something I have found myself pondering from time to time, and often when I am stuck in desert place. With the downturn in economy, I have seen more hardships and hurts then I ever have before. However, it has brought me closer to the people I love most and has helped us to bond and work together to make it through.
My dad has always been the strongest person I have ever known, and not just physically. Working in construction has really took a toll on his work load, but not his faith. I admire that he is not afraid to turn to God and admit that he is struggling and needs help and direction. I have seen so much of God's work shine through my dad in these last few months and it helps to bring light to the darkness.
Then there is my mom; she is the glue that holds us all together. Even when she is stressed or at her end she continues to love each of us and does not let us forget it. Seeing my parents work together and support one another is such a blessing. It goes to show that there is love out there that lasts and marriage is a bond that cannot and should not be broken. ♥it will be 25 years on March 27th♥
Next, there is my brother. He is truly one of my best friends and someone I look up to. He doesn't usually share his feelings or like to just talk, but when it comes to sharing God's word you can see where his heart lies. Growing up we would fight like all siblings do and mom would always tell us we would love each other one day, and she was right. I am so fortunate to have him in my life.
Finally, there are the friends I have been blessed with. I love friends because they are the family we get to choose. Its funny how people come in and out of our lives yet those who truly love us, stick by our sides. My mom always told me that if I can count my real/true friends on one hand then I am truly blessed. Over the years I have had to put a few fingers down but it is the ones that still remain that will never ever leave my heart...and that I am truly thankful for.
Even with all of the questions that churn in my head each and every day...I know at the end of the day its going to be okay...especially when I see who is there to help walk beside me. Only one person I know holds the key to all the answers to my questions and one day I will get to meet him...and I can't wait for that time. But until then I am blessed to get the chance to wait it out with some pretty amazing people.
to actually listen and hear what the song is saying and picture the story that is being told. That is one of the main reasons why I don't like to listen to rap and other types of negative music. I love "happy feel-good music", something that doesn't tear you down. As someone with a relationship with Christ...worship/inspriational music is the perfect escape from the craziness of life, and anything ACUSTIC. Here is the most recent set of lyrics that stuck out and clung to my heart...and just so happens it's about my heart landing in God's hands♥
