True reality

"If my heart is overwhelmed and I cannot hear your voice
I hold onto what is true, though I cannot see
If the storms of life they come, and the road ahead gets steep
I will lift these hands in faith, I will believe

I remind myself of all that you’ve done
And the life I have because of your son

Love came down and rescued me
Love came down and set me free
I am yours
I am forever yours
Mountain high or valley low
I sing out and remind my soul
I am yours
I am forever yours

When my heart is filled with hope, and every promise comes my way
When I feel your hands of grace, rest upon me
Staying desperate for you God, Staying humbled at your feet
I will lift these hands and praise, I will believe"

The lyrics above are from Brian Johnsons song "Love came down" and has been a source of truth through some rough waters recently. It's a reminder that was we see before us, the situations that we are in, are just still pictures in the movie of life. These moments, struggles & times that we face are such a small fraction of the life that we live that we can't & shouldn't be come hung up, halted or discouraged by them.
Our God is the one who sees the big picture, He knows how the works of this moment will impact & shape us for 1 month, 1 year, 1 decade down the road. An encouraging truth when we lift our eyes to this.
There has been great stuff going on too & I'll blog this when I get to a computer-I'm very blessed to be the owner of an iPhone-which kind of means you can contact anyone, anywhere, at any point without going near a computer....but I still need to upload my photos from my camera!!
