Flashback to March 7.  I wrote this one day after the breakup earlier this year:

"Even through intense trials, remember that God is still faithful, steadfast in unwavering love, kind beyond all measure, committed to us with covenental love until the very end of the age.  He is wise, sovereign, and in control of every single event in our lives.  When we are weak and heavy-laden, he carries us tenderly like a Shepherd to his sheep.  When our hearts are aching, he soothes it with the healing balm of his own Word and precious promises.  When things don't make sense to us, we must cling onto what we still know to be clear and true - that God sent His son Jesus to die for our sins so we can be made right with God, and that He loves us forever.  He will never leave us nor forsake us.  God sees you exactly where you are, He will meet you there.  He only does what is the absolute best for our lives.  As ones who believe in God, may we be comforted by His great love this very moment."

Oh my soul, dwell on these truths about your God.  Remember!

Chewing on this

"Waiting silently is the hardest thing of all... But the things that we feel most deeply we ought to learn to be silent about, at least until we have talked them over thoroughly with God."

Hills and Valleys

I've walked among the shadows
You wiped my tears away
And I've felt the pain of heartbreak
And I've seen the brighter days
And I've prayed prayers to heaven from my lowestplace
And I have held the blessings
God, you give and take away

No matter what I have, Your grace is enough
No matter where I am, I'm standing in Your love

On the mountains, I will bow my life
To the one who set me there
In the valley, I will lift my eyes to the one who sees me there
When I'm standing on the mountain, I didn't get there on my own
When I'm walking through the valley, I know I am not alone!
You're God of the hills and valleys!
Hills and Valleys!
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone!

I've watched my dreams get broken
In you I hope again!
No matter what I know
Know I'm safe inside Your hand

Father, you give and take away
Every joy and every pain
Through it all you will remain
Over it all!

Note to Self

"Sometimes it just seems like you're missing out on all these different people, but in reality, you're just being saved for the right person... who's even better."
