I Will Hold On...

Here I am up much to late...tearful... not sure what is going on for me.

There have been parts of my life that have been incredibly difficult recently. When I reflect on the pressures from various sources in my life, and know that God is walking with me, I feel moved. I feel compelled to love Him deeper... to worship Him. My God is incredible. He is leading me through dark places... through my dark places to a new "land" of His love. I think that even though my heart is so broken tonight, I feel His presence. I believe that in some way... I am experiencing these emotions because of His presence.

His love and His peace are beyond my understanding. I feel encouragement from my God that I am pressing onward toward the goal~ the prize of a deeper place in relationship with Him through my pain. I think in songs... my spirit is reminded of the song I Will Hold On:

My times are in Your hands
I know I'll never understand
But I'll trust in You
Sometimes my heart grows cold
I'm sorry when I take control
How I'm needing You

Even when I fall
You help me stand
Even when I'm lost
You take my hand

I will hold on
I will hold on
I will hold on
Yes, I will trust in You

My life is in Your hands
You hold the key to who I am
And I'll trust in You
Sometimes my heart is stone
I'm sorry when I walk alone
How I'm needing You

Your promise preserves my life.

I am so sorry for the "incredible difficult parts" of your life right now. I am amazed and convicted by your total trust in God and your desire to love Him deeper through your pain. What you wrote here is amazing. I know He will answer your deepest cry.

Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you. ~Isaiah 46:4

Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this; He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Ps.37 5-6

Hang in there Michelle. Trust in God regardless what is getting you down, he will carry you through. Mac was in tears last night also, and you are both so alike taking the world by storm. Sometimes you need to stop and smell the roses and let some things go. Blessings to you in your time of need. I love you....
