I've had this song on repeat all week, and it has been such a comfort to me!!
Oh, I love the way you hold me, by my side you'll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love the way you hold me, in your arms I'll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love you more than the words in my brain can express
I can't imagine even loving you less
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love the way you hold me, in your arms I'll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love you more than the words in my brain can express
I can't imagine even loving you less
I've had a rough few days. I haven't been able to put my finger on exactly what was bothering me, but I've felt just.. down.
Then I heard that song on my way to work and it really made me stop and think, He is always holding me! What do I have to feel down about!? I serve a wonderful and loving God!! All I have to do is remember that His arms are ALWAYS around me! As soon as I really let that sink in, I felt at peace.

Isaiah 49:16 has also been comforting to me. I have struggled with being patient this week. My fuse has been short, so to speak. I know that I need to concentrate on being more understanding and not so quick to anger, but if I told you that it hasn't been difficult, I'd be lying. Thinking of how understanding God is of how imperfect I am has been humbling. It is so amazing to me that no matter how many times I mess up, He is just waiting to forgive me. All I have to do is ask.
My prayer has been for God to still my heart, and to give me the patients to deal with all the chaos that has been surrounding me this week. I've had to physically stop where I am and pray, that I will make it through the day without acting in anger or frustration. And when I do, I FEEL God put his hand on my heart and just.. make me calm. It is astounding.
I was telling my sister tonight actually, that I felt so annoyed with everything and that I wasn't sure why. We started talking about how she stopped listening to secular music and has only been listening to K-Love. Well I started the 30 day challenge on New Years day, and have kept it up. Nothing but Christian music for more than a month now. As our conversation progressed, I realized that there was nothing to be annoyed at. It was the Devil using my stress and insecurity to his advantage. Had we not talked about our favorite songs of the moment, I'd still be stewing. I'm so thankful my God knew exactly what I needed to get me out of that funk! And I'm thankful that my sister has taken on the challenge with me!! I really have my youngest sister to thank for exposing me to it in the first place! Its so crazy how much Jordin and I learn from Tess, even though she is the youngest!
I could go on and on, but Gram has had enough of me being on this computer:) I need to go cuddle his silly little self!
