Be still my soul...

As I sit here thinking back on all that we have been through this past year, I can't help but sing the song that has kept me strong all this time. The words bring rest to my soul and comfort to my mind. I believe that there is a time for everything...it seems that at the initial diagnosis almost a year ago and yet again today...it is the time to cry. To grieve...for all the things I had hoped for my child. I KNOW that my God is bigger than ANYTHING that may come our way...and I KNOW that he may not choose to fully heal Hunter but use this for HIS glory. And that's okay. But sometimes a momma's heart can't help but be sad. This whole experience has shown me how big my God really is...and how very much he cares for the condition of my heart. So, again, I sing these words...

Be still my soul
The Lord is on MY side
Bear patiently
The cross of grief or pain
Leave to thy God
To order and provide
In every change
He faithful will remain.

Be still my soul
Thy best, thy heavenly friend
Through stormy ways
Leads to a joyful end.

Be still my soul
The waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them
While he dwelt below.

Oh what peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.
