This week has been so crazy! It was mid-term week, and it seemed like everyone was really stressed! I hardly got any sleep during the week, and finally got a break! I went to my aunt and uncle's house last night, and we took my grandma to Moncton to fly back home today. It was great to spend time away from school, even if it was just for a night. My aunt and I are close in our relationship, we were talking about losing my nephew, and my sister and that whole situation. She pointed out a song to me by Casting Crowns, called, "Love Them Like Jesus" and the second verse says this:
"The gifts lie in wait, in a room painted blue
Little blessing from Heaven would be there soon
Hope fades in the night, blue skies turn to gray
As the little one slips away."
and another song, called Held by Natalie Grant
"Two months is too little.
They let him go.
They had no sudden healing.
To think that providence would
Take a child from his mother while she prays
Is appalling.
Who told us we’d be rescued?
What has changed and why should we be saved from nightmares?
We’re asking why this happens
To us who have died to live? It’s unfair.
Chorus:
This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we’d be held.
When everything fell we’d be held.
This hand is bitterness.
We want to taste it, let the hatred NUMB our sorrow.
The wise hands opens slowly to lilies of the valley and tomorrow.
Bridge:
If hope is born of suffering.
If this is only the beginning.
Can we not wait for one hour watching for our Savior? "
God, you are so amazing!
