I had a couple really peaceful days recently. The best days in months. There really wasn't anything special or specific that happened, just a calmness and peacefulness resting on my soul. There was no doubt in my mind that everything would work out, that I was living in God's will. Besides being wonderful it reminded me of what it was like to rest in peacefulness. Now a few days later I can feel a shift that has left me craving peace, peace within myself. I have been reminded of what it's like to rest in God's will and trust him with my whole being, now I'm not going to settle for any less than what God wants for me.
When the overwhelm, fustration, and panic started to set in again last night I chased it away. When it tried this morning I started to feel defeated. But instead of giving up I said simply to God, "I can't do this everyday, show me what to do". A few minutes later a song came on the radio that reminded me that I'm not alone and sometimes I just need to stop and wait, he will come, he always does.
The funny thing was it wasn't a Christian radio station.
You Raise Me Up
Josh Groban
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

I love that song and how powerful it is when he sings it. Miss you Michelle.
mel and i both love that song... so strong so powerful... it makes me cry... love you sweetie
That's awesome Chel. A very God moment. It sounds like a beautiful song. I, myself, have never heard it. Isn't it funny how we get the right message when He needs us to hear it? Sometimes it can be scarey to think that we might not be listening...
(((((michelle)))))
goes to show that God can use anything to reach us, even a (gasp) non-christian radio station. That song always makes me turn my heart to God.
that's Andrew's favorite song, he sings along with it...too cute.
