I dedicate this song to the experiences I am currently living. Hurricanes tornades earthquakes rip through our lives.....these physical storms destroy houses....but also emotional and spiritual storms rip through our lives as well.......
It is our decision if while it is still RAINING....if we look up and still praise our SAVIOR!
The first time I heard this song a dear friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer. I felt it was God asking me if was faith was STRONG even in the midst of this news.
This past week.....Jason and I have been greatly challenged. Our new job....has stretched us and our kids have tested us.....I cannot be specific...but I am really thankful this time ....it is amazing how CLOSE I feel to God right now!
Many times this week...I felt as if God should just intervene...get me out of this miserable situation....
But isnt it more amazing that He allowed me to go through it and (although not completely out of it) meets me on the other side telling me AGAIN.....I am with you...I never let go of you...I was carrying you...I was bearing more of it than you realized......when YOU KRISSY didnt have the strength...I (God) was there!- God says to me. I feel that and IT IS THE MOST AMAZING FAITH BUILDING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE.
I completely trust that whenever I fall..God will be there to pick me up...I have learned that I do not have to depend on my own talents....strength...because I am insufficient...especially for KINGDOM work.
I have learned that when God sets your path before you...you are going to enter into an unknown territory...a land where you are not in control...and oh how good that is...it is scary at times....but I look at it like this....wouldnt you rather an experience pilot fly you home.....to your family...than someone who just have a few runs at a computer flight simulator program....I sure would!
I also thank God for the reminder that I DO WANT THIS LIFE..this new ministry and job! I was really sick of being complacent...settled....lazy....I want to be challenged and being a part of children's lives everyday....knowing that I may eventually have the opportunity to make eternal impacts.
I could take more naps...I could spend more time with my son (only).....I could make more money....I could be consumed with only my life and my family....I could not take risks....BUT what would I miss out on....that GOD has planned for me......more than I am willing to miss out on! I want to follow Him as long as I can.
Prayer: I pray that you will protect our family as we walk through this storm. I pray that you would be with SGCH as they experience a lot of growing pains. You know my concerns....but Lord I do surrender all to you....because everything I have and am belongs to you......even my family...even my years of schooling and licenses....YOU paid a great price for me...and I will forever honor you with my life!
Praise: Christopher told me the other day "Mom, I have always known Jesus. Even when I was a baby I remember seeing his face."
