Come To Me ~

 

 

I am the Lord your God

I go before you now

I stand beside you

and I'm all around you

and though you feel Im far away

Im closer than your breath

I am with you

more than you know

 

I am the Lord your peace
No evil will conquer you
Steady now your heart and mind
Come into my rest
And oh, let your faith arise
And lift up your weary head
I am with you
Wherever you go

Come to me, I’m all you need
Come to me, I’m everything
Come to me, I’m all you need
Come to me, I’m your everything

I am your anchor, in the wind and the waves
And I am your steadfast, so don’t be afraid
Though your heart and flesh may fail you
I’m your faithful strength
And I am with you
Wherever you go

Come to me, I’m all you need
Come to me, I’m your everything
Come to me, I’m all you need
Come to me, I’m your everything

Don’t look to the right or to the left, keep your eyes on me
You will not be shaken, you will not be moved
Ohhhh

I am the hand to hold, I am the truth, I am the way
Heyyyy
Just come to me, come to me
Cause I’m all that you need

I am reminded of Peter stepping onto the sea..

the waves crashed all around

His steps were first bold and brave

He stayed afloat until

He turned to the right and  left

dropping his gaze from Jesus

In his sinking, realizing he could not silence the

storm...he looked to Jesus and cried out " save me"
Immediately the Lord grabbed his hand
even in his weak faith, the Lord saved him.
When Peter was consumed with fear,
when the winds stirred
and the waves rose...
Jesus was still faithful to save those crying
out to Him
 

Today that is where my heart sits

trying to understand the surroundings

even trying to steady the storm

but He is not calling me to that

No, He is calling me unto Himself

Calling me to stretch out my hand to Him

in faith and rest

He will steady my steps as the storms surge

As I grope in the darkness for my next step 

He is my ever present Help

 

I know that He is good

I know that He alone is God

He is calling me to lift my  head

and set my gaze on Him.

I stand, though weary, on His promises

and through it all I praise Him

Even Now

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

I came across this picture tonight and felt  it was perfect for the

way that my world feels right now.

 

The road ahead is covered with unknowns.

It seems  the more I strain my eyes to catch a glimpse of

what tomorrow may hold the darker it grows.

 

Fear threatens to take up residence in my heart

I want to know what is around the next corner

Yet the reality of today is that the path is

dark and unknown

 

All I know is that He is in control

 

I bask in the few feet of light that He is giving me.

Sometimes I have found  myself sitting in a total blackout

Even in the darkest hours..His whispers of love echo

through the walls of my heart.

 

 

I know Who goes before me

I know that while my circumstances break my heart

and cause more questions than I will ever have answers for..

He is faithful

 

Tonight in the darkness I hold on to His promises

 

I choose to trust Him even now

When my heart longs to know when and why

I will reach for Him

I will continue praying for a glimpse of tomorrow

I will continue praying that Chloe and Eli will come home

I will continue praying that He will MOVE mountains for our family

but if nothing turns out the way I thought it would...I will still offer Him

my praise. For He is and always will be worthy of it ALL.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I choose to CELEBRATE

Chloe and Eli

 

Yesterday was YOUR birthday!

What an amazing day it was!

 

I had spent a lot of time this week being sad.

Sad that you weren't in our arms

Sad that you couldn't hear my voice sing happy birthday

There were so many things that I was focusing on that I was going

to be missing.

 

However, when I woke up yesterday, I didn't feel sad

Instead I felt a sense of JOY

You have been on this earth for THREE years

So many things have happened in your lives

So much loss, so many heartaches in your short three years

However, the Lord has kept you!
He has never left you alone.

He has proven in your precious lives that HE is a Father to the

fatherless. How He loves you with a love beyond measure!

 

Feb 3 2010 will always be an amazing special day!

Its the day that you were given life!

Its the day that God began your sweet stories here on this earth.

What a journey it has been.

 

I pray that soon I will be able to hold you in my arms and celebrate

every milestone from here on out. Until then, I have a peace that your Creator

has you firmly in His grip. You are LOVED Eli and Chloe!

 

Happy Birthday Sweet Babies!

Happy Birthday Chloe and Eli

"My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth"
