It has definitely been a hard couple of weeks. Have had a heavy heart for so many families lately... as well as ours. But - we have hope NOW in the Lord. We look to the cross.
I, like many others around me, have seen the body of Christ more fully lately. To see people all over this metroplex... this state... this nation... this world... rise together to pray. This is the way it should be - even when everything is going "fine". How quickly we forget that we are not on this journey alone and we don't have to be.
I heard this song yesterday on the way to work. Just a reminder of who is carrying us through these days... who has carried us through ALL of our days... who knows all the joy AND the sorrow in our lives... who is loving us thru it all.
Hope Now by Addison Road
If everything comes down to love
Then just what am I afraid of
When I call out Your name
Something inside awakes in my soul
How quickly I forget I'm Yours
I'm not my own
I've been carried by You
All my life
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free
When my life is like a storm
Rising waters all I want is the shore
You say I'll be ok and
Make it through the rain
You are my shelter from the storm
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free
I am not my own
I've been carried by you all my life
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free
You've become my hearts desire
I will sing Your praises higher
Cause Your love sets me free
Your love sets me free
Your love sets me free
