"Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever." --Psalm 106:1

You are good

I've experienced quite the emotional peaks and valleys in the past few days. These are surely partially due to my hormones being totally out of whack from all the stuff my body has been through over the past week and partially due to my processing our recent loss. Now that I'm on the mend physically, I've had more focused time to process everything mentally and emotionally. Quite honestly, I was caught off-guard by the tears I've shed and the things I've felt...places I've only been a handful of times in my life. My sweet hubby, who was undoubtedly as blindsided as I was, has endured it all and extended such patience and grace to me. I so appreciate you, sweetheart.

As I've tried to refocus my mind by enjoying some of my favorite worship music, God has so ministered to my heart through (among others) Aaron Keyes' song "Nothing Less Than Beautiful." I've included the lyrics below...

You are good, You are good, You are always good to us
You are good, You are good, You are always good to us
Even in tears, You're always good to us
Even in weeping, You're always good to us
You could be anything You want

You, you're nothing less than beautiful
You, you're more than words define
You, you're nothing less than beautiful
Our God, you're marvelous and kind

I couldn't agree more. God is always good to me...to us. Even in tears. Even weeping. He is nothing less than beautiful. He is marvelous and kind. Don't you think?

I am so sorry you are going through this pain. Just wanted you to know you are not alone. I hope in the weeks and months ahead you are able to heal your wounds; and that some day your heart heals as well.

Take care, and thanks for linking to chambanamoms.
