Find HIM here.


    So much has happened in the last few months that I'm not sure it would work to even try to put it into words, [so much unexpected, so much change, so many tears] it's a journey that I don't wish to repeat, yet God has shown me so much. Right now my prayer is that He'll redeem all of this for His glory... that my relationship with Him will grow, be deeper, stronger, that I'll continue to know His healing & forgiveness, and that I'll not be afraid to share the Gospel with those around me.

This song "Find You Here" describes so well the journey God has me on these days...

[Verse 1]
It's not the news that any of us hoped that we would hear
It's not the road we would have chosen, no
The only thing that we can see is darkness up ahead
But You're asking us to lay our worry down and sing a song instead

[Chorus]
And I didn't know I'd find You here
In the middle of my deepest fear, but
You are drawing near
You are overwhelming me, with peace
So I'll lift my voice and sing
You're gonna carry us through everything
You are drawing near
You're overwhelming all my fears, with peace

[Verse 2]
You say that I should come to You with everything I need
You're asking me to thank You even when the pain is deep
You promise that You'll come and meet us on the road ahead
And no matter what the fear says, You give me a reason to be glad

[Chorus]
And I didn't know I'd find You here
In the middle of my deepest fear, but
You are drawing near
You are overwhelming me, with peace
So I'll lift my voice and sing
You're gonna carry me through everything
You are drawing near
You're overwhelming all my fear


[Bridge]
Here in the middle of the lonely night
Here in the middle of the losing fight, You're
Here in the middle of the deep regret
Here when the healing hasn't happened yet
Here in the middle of the desert place
Here in the middle when I cannot see Your face
Here in the middle with Your outstretched arms
You can see my pain and it breaks Your heart

[Chorus]
And I didn't know I'd find You here
In the middle of my deepest fear, but
You are drawing near
You are overwhelming me with, peace
So I'll lift my voice and sing
You're gonna carry me through everything
You are drawing near
You're overwhelming all my fear with peace

[Outro]
Rejoice, rejoice
Don't have to worry 'bout a single thing, 'cause
You are overwhelming me with, peace!
Don't have to worry 'bout a single thing
You're gonna carry us through everything
Overwhelming peace ...


May you find God here in the middle of whatever you're facing today. May you experience His grace, & live in the His Truth of His amazing love.

Until next time,

A random side note... This place & the people I grew to love in the North have been on my mind & missed these days.
