Carry Me

Once again, God showed His hand of love.  I am always amazed at the care He gives to His imperfect, sometimes unlovable children like myself.  I am always grateful as well.

I was going to meet some dear friends for some much needed girl talk and the refreshment and strength that comes with being with sisters in the Lord.  As I drove to the meeting spot, I was on the phone with my cousin, who just lost her Dad.  We talked about how we count in our heads, the time that has passed since we lost our loved ones.  I explained how God had given me the comfort of knowing that I was not getting further away from them, but closer to the day we would see them again. And as we were speaking of this, I passed by St. Johns HS and on their message sign was the words:  WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT. Remember from previous posts during the time of my Mom's passing how I always ask God to give me neon signs.  Well, I guess this qualifies as one !!  LOL  Isn't God wonderful!! And comforting.  No one can tell me He doesn't speak to His children today.  He is very active and communicative if we just open our hearts and minds and eyes to listen.  And believe.  We must believe that He is talking to us, not just pass it off as coincidence or something like that.

Now, on to the second visit that day.  I mentioned that I was on the way to meet up with some friends.  And we had a great time of fellowship and chit chat.  I am so blessed to have these ladies to confide in, find godly counsel, acceptance and understanding.  Their listening ears and caring prayers are God given gifts.  I was able to share some of my struggles and find the care and help I needed.

Well, God was listening as well.  As I drove home He sent me the most fantastic, perfect for the moment song.  It was called Carry Me by Josh Wilson.  It spoke so exactly to how I was feeling, how we all feel sometimes.  He truly stooped down to pick up His struggling daughter and carried her in His everlasting arms.

I love the way God uses friends, music, signs, so many many things to reach us, to take us out of our sinking sand and place us on to His solid ground.  Thank You Lord.

Enjoy the song.  Perhaps someone out there needs this as much as I do.  If so, I am praying you will know His arms are around you, carrying you right now.
