So, maybe I am tired or maybe I just need a little pep talk, but I am really relating to this song right now. I heard it the other day and it hit home. You know how you can hear a song a hundred times and it doesn’t even phase you until you need the words in the moment. I am so glad for Sarah Groves’ music because so many of her songs have hit me just when I needed them!
The chorus of this song says that in this very moment I am totally in the dark. I have no idea what’s going on around me or what’s ahead of me. BUT, I will trust that You (God) can see something very different from what I am seeing right now.
I think that the biggest thing that has brought peace to my life is recognizing that God has a plan and has seen the end. I mean, simply recognizing that He does have a plan, not demanding to know what that plan is. Sometimes there are very large challenges in our lives and sometimes we are just in a “Funk” as my mom calls it. Either way, it helps me to know that the God of the Universe who took the time to include details in our lives cares enough about me and loves me so deeply to provide for me the strong tower of his protection and forethought.
How nice to know that God’s plan for me includes the victory of cross, His promise for life abundant, and a relationship with the One who has known me since before time. I know that God hasn’t promised an easy life, but He has promised that with His strength, I can live life to the fullest.
From This One Place
I was about to give up and that’s no lie
cardinal landed outside my window
threw his head back and sang a song
so beautiful it made me cry
took me back to a childhood tree
full of birds and dreams
from this one place I can’t see very far
in this one moment I’m square in the dark
these are the things I will trust in my heart
you can see something else
something else
I don’t know what’s making me so afraid
tiny cloud over my head
heavy and grey with a hint of dread
I don’t like to feel this way
take me back to a window seat
with clouds beneath my feet
from this one place I can’t see very far
in this one moment I’m square in the dark
these are the things I will trust in my heart
you can see something else
something else
