[On My Heart] Mondays. {Encouragement In Surprising Places}

Sometimes the Lord catches my attention through the things around me in life.

This past week I was having a moment when I was struggling...

I was in the car driving down the highway and this song comes on my ipod.

Feels like I've been here forever,
Why can't you just intervene,
Do you see the tears keep falling?
And I'm falling apart at the seams,
But you never said the road would be easy,
But you said that you would never leave.
And you never promised that this life wasn't hard,
But you promised you'd take care of me,
So I'll stop searching for the answers,
I'll stop praying for an escape
And I'll trust you God with where I am
And believe you will have your way,
Just have your way,
Just have your way,
My friends and my family have left me
I feel so ashamed and so cold,
Remind me you take broken things and turn them into beautiful
So I'll stop searching for the answers,
I'll stop praying for an escape
I'll trust you God with where I am,
And believe you will have your way,
Just have your way,
Just have your way,
Even if my dreams have died,
Even if I don't survive,
I'll still worship you with all my life...

{Have Your Way ~ Britt Nicole} 

What beautiful truth written in these lyrics. God doesn't promise that this life will be easy. His goal is not for us to have it easy in this world, or be influencial or wealthy. But he does promise to take care of us. The book of Job is a wonderful reminder of this truth.

Learning to trust the Lord with where we are and believing His beautiful plans for us is such a wonderful lesson to learn.

It may not be easy....

but He is with us friends.

Every step of the way.

He does promise that.

'Even though I walk
   through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
   for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
   they comfort me.'

{Psalm 23:4}

Remember His truth.

Much Love,
