...At a Loss for Words

I've been thinking about forming a coherent blog post for awhile now...it seems like there has been so much stuff going on in my head lately that I haven't been able to formulate words to explain it all. I was just reading someone's away message and the words bring a sense of peace to me.



Things change, plans fail
You look for love on a grander scale
Storms rise, hopes fade
And you place your bets on another day
When the going gets tough
When the ride is too rough
When youre just not sure enough
Jesus will still be there

His love will never change
Sure as the steady rain
Jesus will still be there
When no one else is true
He'll still be loving you
When it looks like youve lost it all
And you havent got a prayer
Jesus will still be there

Time flies, hearts turn
A little bit wiser from lessons learned
But sometimes, weakness wins
And you lose your foothold once again
When the going gets tough
When the ride's too rough
When youre just not sure enough
Jesus will still be there[point of grace]


There are a few situations in my life that I am beginning to realize that I have absolutely NO control over. This is very stressful for me, because let's face it....I'm a slight control freak concerned human being. My sister and her boyfriend of 2+ years broke up this week, so all week I have been worried about her little heart because she is sooo sad and so upset. To make things worse, I am 100% confident that he is holding her back from her potential and dreams. Have I mentioned that I am her overprotective older sister yet? Anyway, I've been in a damaging relationship before and so I know all about how hard it is for her to let go. Anyway, I've just been feeling like she doesn't care how I feel and I feel so helpless because all I want is for her to see her worth.

God is good though, and His love fills my heart. Even on the days when I feel SO overwhelmed with life's storms and so frustrated with worldly worries, the Lord's grace abounds and brings me a peace that really can't even be described in words anyway.

Snow Day!!

Snow always makes me think of this passage from Psalm 51:

"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me."

What a glorious reminder that God purifies us and washes us white as snow!
