On My Heart

Daniel has been heavy on my heart and mind lately. I know God is at work. I know He is doing something big. He is doing miracles. He is healing him - it just looks different than what I want or am praying for. I do long for complete healing from LEMS. I pray for increased strength in his muscles and for him to gain weight. I don't understand why it hasn't happened yet, but I trust God. I trust His timing. I trust His plans. God is good. God is sovereign. God is in control. God knows what He is doing. He is faithful, trustworthy, powerful, miraculous. So while I long for the miraculous I wait and I trust. I want to be changed through this.

God is doing big things in my heart and life and is using Daniel and his situation. God is increasing my faith, trust, and dependency upon Him. He is my hope. He is my rock.

I love how God uses music to touch me and minister to me. I've been listening to Brandon Heath's new album, Leaving Eden. It came out on Tuesday, January 18 and I've been listening to it as much as I can. There is a song that has ministered to me the past couple of days. It came on and I was overcome with emotion. I was praying and crying out to God for Daniel last night. In the midst of the tears and the prayers I kept repeating that song on my ipod, allowing the words to bring comfort and hope. While the song makes me cry, it fills me with hope and peace. As I was listening to it, I was asking God to make His presence more known...I desired to feel Him more, more than I ever have before. My head knows He is right there with me, comforting me in my sorrow, but I wanted to feel it more in my heart, and in a fresh and new way. That continues to be my prayer and desire.

It's Alright ~ Brandon Heath

Tiny boat on an angry sea

Sails torn and tattered

How could Jesus be fast asleep

Like it doesn't matter

Soon as He opens His eyes

The storm dies

It's alright

Everything will be okay

You just hold tight

I'll be with you the whole way

When you're weak, I'll be strong

Keep going, we're almost home

It's alright

Everything will be okay

Mother Mary's got a broken heart

From the words they're saying

Her baby boy's being torn apart

By the world He's saving

He says, Mother, don't cry for Me

You know where I'll be

It's alright

Everything will be okay

You just hold tight

I'll be with you the whole way

When you're weak, I'll be strong

Keep going, we're almost home

It's alright

Everything will be okay

No promise of an easy road

Just a destination

Next time you forget your hope

Somebody's waiting

Soon as you open your eyes

You realize

It's alright

Everything will be okay

You just hold tight

I'll be with you the whole way

When you're weak, He'll be strong

Keep going, we're almost home

It's alright

Everything will be okay
