Change My Life

OK, so here I go again.  It has been forever again since I was on here, but a sweet faithful friend of mine begged me to get back on the bandwagon so here goes.....

This summer has been a bit rough, I will admit.  But through it all, God is so good and so faithful(thus the title of my blog).  He has shown Himself faithful time and again.   I don't even doubt Him anymore when trials arise.  Don't get me wrong, I get sad, scared, lonely, etc....but I don't doubt that He is there and has my best interest at heart and that He will see me through no matter what the outcome of the trial.

You see I know a secret.  It is that humans are not trustworthy but our all-knowing, all-loving, provider God IS!!!  He is so reliable.  He is so faithful through it all.  Even when I haven't been paying attention to Him he is there waiting for me to come spend time with Him.  For the record, I love spending time with Him daily.  It is just that some days get away from me.  Mostly because of my need/desire for more sleep in the morning than any other reason.  With our lyme disease I tend to have trouble getting up in the mornings.  When I keep a routine/schedule I do much better.  I enjoy my special chair and my coffee and my time with God.  It is the best part of my day.  He met me there today!  I love it!

So through all of these difficulties this summer, one in particular that I won't go into detail, God gave me the strength I needed to get through.  The way He seems to speak to me the most is through music.  I have to say that through the years, worship is the best way to speak to my soul.  The words just get me.  And every trial a different song(s) affects me in ways it hasn't before. 

This time it was a song by Ashes Remain.  The song is "Change My Life."  The words go like this:

I’m still awake tonight / broken up inside
I wanna run / but I don’t know where to go
I’m calling Your name / through the pain
Will You turn Your face to me
I’m crying out / I need a miracle

// CHORUS: If You could make the sun burn through the night
And You could make the dead man come alive
If You could make the oceans all run dry
Then I know You can change my life
I know You can change my life //

I wanna know who You are / that You can fix my heart
And I don’t have to run anymore
Open my eyes / let me see
Give me hope and set me free
Cause I don’t wanna be the way I was before

// CHORUS //

Give me something to believe in
Something worth fighting for
Something that I can’t ignore
You could make the sun burn through the night
You could make the oceans all run dry…

//CHORUS//
I know You can change my life
I know You can change my life


God totally used these words to speak life into my soul.  If the God of the universe can make the sun burn through the night, and the dead man come alive, and the oceans all run dry; certainly He can change my life and my circumstances.  I just clung to that promise and belief through those tough days and you know what?  He DID!  He doesn't leave us there alone.  He pulls us up, carries us, holds us in His loving arms, and gives us exactly what we need as we take one tedious step after another. Sometimes simply getting out of bed in the morning is a struggle, but we have a God who can lift us up and carry us through the day.  Just hold on.  He will see you through!
