He Is With Us

Here is a song that I heard the other day and it caught my attention!  It goes perfectly with what I have been/am dealing with! I KNOW God promised/promises that He has everything in control. And yet once you start facing hard things in life, sometimes it's hard to believe those promises! And sometimes, even without wanting too, you doubt those promises! Here's a great reminder, that:

He Is With Us
Remember when, your hope is lost 
and faith is shaken.
Remember when, you wonder if
Your going to make it.
There's a hand stretched out through your deepest doubt.
We can't pretend to see the ending or
 what is coming up ahead.
To know the story of tomorrow.
But we can stay close to the One who knows

We can trust our God, 
He knows what He is doing!
Though it might hurt now
We won't be ruined
It might seem there's an ocean in between
But He is holding on to you and me!
And He is never gonna leave,no
He is with us,He is with us
Always, Always
He is with us, He is with us 
Always!

We believe there is a purpose, there is meaning in everything!
We surrender to His leading.
He wants nothing morse than to have us close.

We can trust our God,
He knows what He is doing!
Though it might hurt now
We won't be ruined
It might seem there is an ocean in between
But He is holding on to you and me!
And He is never going to leave
He is with us, He is with us
Always, Always
He is with us , He is with us 
Always!

Our faith is sealed.
Our hope is real.
Come what may,
We're not afraid.
Our faith is sealed.
Our hope is real.
Come what may,
We are not afraid.
We are not afraid.
- Love and the Outcome

 Two days after we found out Mom had leukemia, the verse from Romans 8:28 "Y sabemos que a los que aman a Dios, todas las cosas les ayudan a bien, esto es, a los que conforme a su propósito son llamados." (Sorry, I only remember it in Spanish.) stood out to me through a song that a church family sang at my last Sunday evening church service,at our church! And while they sang the song, I started crying, because at that point I felt crushed! A whole bunch of questions running through my head. How could any good come from this? I even had a bit of ' I don't want any good to come from this' attitude! But once I was able to 'process' all of it a bit more I slowly was able to trust once again, that, 'Yes, God has everything under control.' And as I look back to those first days after the news, I am so glad God was in control! He had everything planned out SO perfectly... all I can do is praise Him, say 'thank you', and learn from that experience!! ;)

Now back to these lyrics! 
Like I said, I happened to hear this song the other day and thought it had cool lyrics, so I looked it up! God is ALWAYS with us, and for that I am grateful! I want to learn to trust more fully in God!
Goodnight!
