It's really hard to keep faith when your parents are doubting and everything seems to be falling down around you.
I try to be optimistic about this; I say that God has a plan for us and will get us out of this mess... but honestly I'm not so sure.
This is scary. I'm scared. I'm confused as to why this is happening to us.
but I won't give up, and I won't give in to my haunting thoughts. In my heart I know God is here every step of the way and He has never left us and never will. I just hope my parents realize this before it's too late for them. I almost hope that this is a test for them, to make them realize that God is bigger than this.
"Shout to the Lord, all the earth let us sing
Power and Majesty, Praise to the king!
Mountains bow down and the sea will roar
At the sound of your name
I sing for joy at the work of your hands
Forever I'll love you Forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you
My Jesus, My Savior
Lord there is none like you
All of my days, I want to praise
the wonders of your mighty love
My comfort, My shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let Every breath, All that I am
Never Cease to worship you
Shout to the Lord, All the earth let us sing
Power and Majesty, Praise to the king
Mountains bow down and the Sea will roar
At the sound of your name
I sing for joy at the work of your hands
Forever I'll love you Forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you"
Aww Megan, I'll be praying for your sitaution. If you want to talk, I'll be around anytime
ReplyDeleteI miss this song! Thank you for posting it, because it lit my day. Though I butchered it while trying to sing it as I have a bit of a cold and chocolate in my throat. :P
ReplyDeleteI know this feeling extremely well. I guess I just came to realize that I wasn't going to understand how God works on the Earth, and I still don't. I think that my mother will miss heaven, and the most I can do is remind her of that. It's her own fault. She knows better. I stopped feeling sorry for Christians who don't choose to do what they know they should. I guess I hardened my heart to it because I knew it would tear me apart if I didn't... it still gets to me on occasion and I feel a great sense of loss.
Maybe this will help. God has a plan for us- like you said. But we don't have to decide to follow it. God won't get us out of a mess that we won't ask him to. He'll just help us handle it if we even ask for that much. Sometimes people are scared of change, and accustomed to pain. And sometimes you have to just watch and help when you can because you aren't the person who's going to make that final push.
Sorry if that's too preachy. :/
Thanks Hannah, you took the words right out of my mouth. The thing is, even if we don't get out of this mess, God is still going to continue to be with us. He'll help us through the changes that we would have to make, and He will give us strength.
ReplyDeleteThe changes we would have to make will be major and will by no means be easy, but He is never going to leave us. Knowing that helps me deal with this.
