Out of the Mouths of Babes

Do you wonder why you have to,

feel the things that hurt you,

if there's a God who loves you,

where is He now?

Maybe, there are things you can't see

and all those things are happening

to bring a better ending

some day, some how, you'll see, you'll see

Would dare you, would you dare, to believe,

that you still have a reason to sing,

'cause the pain you've been feeling,

can't compare to the joy that's coming

so hold on, you got to wait for the light

press on, just fight the good fight

because the pain you've been feeling, it's just the dark before the morning

My friend, you know how this all ends

and you know where you're going,

you just don't know how you get there

so just say a prayer and hold on,

cause there's good who love God,

life is not a snapshot, it might take a little time,

but you'll see the bigger picture

once you feel the way of glory,

all your pain will fade to memory

Would dare you, would you dare, to believe,

that you still have a reason to sing,

'cause the pain you've been feeling,

can't compare to the joy that's coming

com'n, you got to wait for the light

press on, just fight the good fight

because the pain you've been feeling,

it's just the hurt before the healing

the pain you've been feeling,

just the dark before the morning

Ahh....thank you Josh Wilson for putting all those thoughts and feelings to a song. I love it, it helps me remember I am not in charge and all things in His perfect timing and that He does have great things in store for those that love Him.

The other day as we were driving somewhere, my 5 year old foster daughter must have asked me for the 10th time in as many minutes, where we were going. I said to her, honey, do you know how to drive? I didn't think so, all you need to know is that you are with me and that is where you should be. We will get to where we are going when we get there at the right time. I was of course frustrated at that point, but as I spoke, I felt convicted. How many times do I ask God....Where am I going, what is happening next? When will I get there where you want me to be? Wow, almost like He was answering me through my answer to her. Be still my child and know that I am God. Know that if you are with Me, who can be against you?

Yes, the lessons I am learning through this journey He has placed me on. Thank you Lord for this journey you have allowed me to be on!
