My Soul's Sufficiency

I have had so many thoughts running through my head as I have been spending an unplanned extra day in Raleigh before my flight tomorrow.

I am still going through phases of ups and downs in dealing with my grief. At times I just break down in tears, but then there are times that God is so gracious to give me peace. I just pray that God's will be done in my life whatever it may be.

Go figure, music is therapy! You would think I know that by now after majoring in music therapy for 4 years, but there are times when I really believe it! It is so neat to see how God uses lyrics of Christian songs to encourage me when I need it. One song that I've been singing in my head over and over again is "Child of God" by Kathryn Scott:

With every breath, with every thought
From what is seen to the deepest part
I offer all that I've come to be
To know Your love fathering me

Father You're all I need
My soul's sufficiency
My strength when I am weak
The love that carries me
your arms enfold me, till I am only
A child of God

With every step on this journey's walk
And wisdom's songs that the soul has sought
I give myself unreservedly
To know Your love fathering me


If I really am offering all that I am to Him, then I have to trust in His plans for me. Even when He does things in my life that I would like to question, I have to trust Him. He has ultimate control over my life. He can give and take away good things as He pleases because either way it will be for my good. My life is in His hands. He consistently reminds me of these verses,

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD.

"As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts. " Isaiah 55:8-9



I will still love Him and praise Him in the storm.
