Heart song

Micah's new favorite song in the last couple of weeks has been Matt Redman's "Never Let Go". He will go around the house with his play guitar and shout "OH NO! Never let go! Through the calm...through the storm!" He asks us atleast once a day to pull the song up on our phones so he can see the video and hear the words. This just absolutely thrills me to pieces. Chris and I want nothing more than to raise our son in a Christ-centered home and hope he has the same passion for our Savior as we have.

This song has always been one of my favorites and I will sing right along with Micah. However, it wasn't until today that I realized how much truth the words hold in my life as this time. I mentioned in my last post about my car accident that started an eighth month long whirl-wind. It's been one that has taught me strenght in patience and trust in His timing. The day that car came speeding at me out-of-control, I was terrified. But, in the same instance I was very aware of how blessed I was. Thankfully, I was leaving my internship and on my way to pick up Micah. God built my body to be able to sustain the impact and let nothing break. More importantly, God allowed me to not have Micah in the car at that time.

Looking back at that specific rock in our path in life, we have realized how much of a blessing in disguise that wreck truly was. I have since graduated and been set on this roller-coaster of emotion, otherwise known as job hunting. God offered a financial means of survival through that wreck while I have been out of work.  My God had His plan already set out for me the day I graduated with my Masters and began pursuing my license. He prepared a heart in me to work with a population that is dear to my heart. He also knew that it would not be an easy start, and has continued to test the very patience He has taught me about all summer long.

As I leave you with the full chorus to Matt Redman's song, I pray you can find as much peace in them as I do.

"Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me"

Now when I think of the words that Micah will go around the house singing to, I have a sense of comfort and peace. I know God has a path for me to follow and do the great things in my career He prepared my heart for. It doesn't always make waiting for that job easy, but I believe in the words to the chorus. I know that with every job I submit my resume to, every interview I go on and every job I get turned down for, that I have Him walking along with me through every calm and storm of it all.
