I began this blog to share my own thoughts throughout the journey, and it quickly became a place for posting pictures of Carter and sharing what was going on in our world. While that's all good, there are also moments I want/need to share what's going on inside..."behind the mask."
My world has seemingly crumbled to pieces in the days since my last post...hence, the lack of words and pictures over the last several weeks. So many loving friends and family members have reached out to us in the midst of this storm, and for that I am truly grateful. You have carried me through the last several weeks through your loving support and prayers...As such, I decided to share my own prayer for today...(As you read it, can you tell I've been reading a lot of Psalms lately???)
O God, hear my cries for help.
My soul is desperate for a touch from you.
My heart is broken and trampled on--
There seems to be no real source of hope...
And yet I know you are near-
Nearer, perhaps, than ever before.
Enfold me in your lovingkindness,
Wrap me in your healing arms,
Embrace me with your peace that
passes all understanding.
Reset my feet on solid ground,
And do not let the storm and waves of destruction
overwhelm me.
Hold my hand--
Lift me up.
Turn my face to you--
Shine your light into my darkened world
and let my pain be no more.
I trust in You alone---
My Rock, My Redeemer,
My Healer, My Source of Strength,
My Loving Savior, My Lord,
The Lover of my Soul.
Thank you all for your love & prayers...there is a long road ahead...
