I AM WITH YOU

When hard things happen it's easy to get stuck on the question why. But it’s the wrong question. That answer changes nothing and it can become a stumbling block in the path of healing. ⁠⁠

But we can ask: where - where is God?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We can also ask: what now? How do we move forward, how do we heal? How do we have hope?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
As a former widow I’ve shaken my fist at God in anguish and wondering so many times. I always get the same answer, “I am with you.” ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
As I've experienced disappointments and unmet dreams and expectations⁠ I’ve shaken my fist at God in anguish and wondering so many times. I always get the same answer, “I am with you.”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“I am with you.”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“I am with you.”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“I am with you.”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We have a God who enters into the mess with us. He’s actively pushing back the darkness so we are not consumed.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You reading this is a testament to His faithfulness to you.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You might want to punch me in the face because you disagree. Your pain runs deep. I see you, I hear you. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
But, I stand my ground. Because I’ve been there too. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I don’t have the answer to all the questions… but I know our God is faithful…⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I know…⁠⁠
⁠⁠
and⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Even when...⁠⁠
⁠⁠
And it’s more than a feeling. Faith and Hope are NOT feelings. They are choices and they are anchors. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Their weight - much bigger than any emotion. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I am with you.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I have a new single releasing 2/26 filled with this very hope and truth. Follow me on Spotify to be the first to hear the song as soon as it releases!
