Last week I...
Got out of the house everyday except Monday and yesterday (Saturday)
Went up to church on Tuesday night with everyone and their dog (literally) because of a tornado
Went to church Wednesday night
Had to leave during church Wednesdays because of a seizure
Had friends spend the night Friday night for the first time in at least over a year
Laughed more than I have in a long time Friday night
Drove for the first time in 3 months
Went on date
Had a long seizure yesterday
Did not have to go to the hospital
Today I went to church for the first time in 3 months (except for last week when I went to the evening service for Senior night).
Today all my friends left for the senior trip at church. Every year the graduating seniors go on a fun trip with one of the youth ministers. This year they are going to Colorado. I would have gone had it not been for my seizures and recent issues.
Recently I found this song called Carry Me by Audrey Assad which reminded me of this verse. I'm so thankful that God carries us through everything and never lets us go.
"Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you" Isaiah 46:4
Carry Me by Audrey Assad
"Pain is a forest we all get lost in
Between the branches hope can be so hard to see
And in the darkness we've all got questions
We're all just trying to make sense out of suffering but
You say I am blessed because of this
So, I choose to believe
As I carry this cross, You'll carry me
Help me believe it
Fear is a current we all get caught in
And in its motion faith can be so hard to find
And we all falter 'cause we're all broken
We're all just trying to turn the shadows into light but
You get glory in the midst of this
And You're walking with me
And you say I am blessed because of this
So, I choose to believe
As I carry this cross, You'll carry me
And I know Your promises are faithful
And God, I've seen Your goodness in my life
And oh, I've found Your mercy is a river
Your love is an ocean wide
You say I am blessed because of this
You get glory in the midst of this
And You're walking with me
And You say I am blessed because of this
So, I choose to believe
As I carry this cross, as I carry this cross
'Cause as I carry this cross, You'll carry me
You'll carry me, God
You'll carry me
And Your love is an ocean wide"
Sounds like a pretty good week!?
ReplyDeleteHowever, you cannot say "I went on a date" and then give no more info - that is just cruel! :D
You went on a date? Are you going to give us more information?
ReplyDeleteI was happy to see you at church Sunday. I didn't make it over to you, like I wanted, but you looked good.
