Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
8 They are brought to their knees and fall,
but we rise up and stand firm.
9 Lord, give victory to the king!
Answer us when we call!
Psalm 20
The news came unexpected today.
It's over our heads.
We're between a rock and a hard place.
We know not what to do.
Overwhelmed.
We will rise up.
We will stand firm.
By Your Mighty Power.
Because it is not within me to move forward on this.
This is David speaking.
He knew what it meant to embrace loss.
And we have lost something really big today.
Rise up, o my soul.
Stand firm, and see the salvation of God redeem my heart.
DEAR GOD: PLEASE CHANGE ME IN THIS ONE OF 10,000 MOMENTS THAT MUST NOT DEFINE ME. Help me to let go of how I think things should be, how things should fall, how things should play out. Give us Grace to face this rough patch.

Jan, I just read your beautiful story that you commented on about one month ago. I missed it!!! Just happened to scroll back and see it. Thank you so much for sharing your heart with us. So evident that God's Hand is on your life. Psalm 139:5-6.
ReplyDeleteLast night, my internet wasn't working great and I had to post the previous comment a few times. One of my messages talked about "the fire" your husband walked through. What a beautiful story of God's Providence over both of you! My love and prayers. Such an honor to be your friend across the miles.
ReplyDeleteI'm honored to know you and to have access to your heart through the blog. God is transforming me into a new creature, like Paul, things I once loved I don't feel the importance. Relationships are the most important thing in life. Holding onto God, loosely holding family so that they can become the people God wants them to be, as well as being available and approachable so that my plans are easily adapted if a friend stops by in the middle of a busy day. Through it all, I'm so thankful for grace and mercy.
DeleteWell, I responded again but it disappeared. Awww. You are just beautiful Jan! Love your heart. Col 1:27-28 God is stirring in you in such a beautiful way!!!!
