A little Thing Called 'Trust'

       We don't have to understand. All we need to do is trust. This has been my sweet family's anthem the past few weeks. We've cried more than we've ever cried. We've mourned more than we've ever mourned. We've cried out more than we've ever cried out. But even through the darkest, deepest valley...He is still there with us. Comforting, guiding, reassuring, listening. I've listened to this song hundreds of times and each time is more reassuring than the last:

The pathway is broken and the signs are unclear
And I don't know the reasons why you brought me here.
But just because you love me the way that You do
I'm gonna walk through the valley if you want me to.

No I'm not who I was when I took the first step
And I'm clinging to the promise Your'e not through with me yet.
So I'll follow these trials that bring me closer to You
And I will walk through the fire if you want me to.

And it may not be the way I would've chosen
When you lead me through a world that's not my home
But you never said it would be easy
You only said I'd never go alone.


So when the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear you answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering that your love put you through
And I will walk through the darkness if you want me to.

So when I cross over Jordan, I'm gonna sing, I'm gonna shout
I'm gonna look into your eyes and say, "You never let me down."
So take me on the pathway that leads me home to You
And I will walk through the valley if You want me to.
Yes, I will walk through the valley if you want me to

Amen, right? I'm not a perfect Christian. I screw up, I fall down, I curse more than I should, I don't read my Bible as much as I should but I tell you what, friends: I will always trust  Him and I will always find comfort in the fact that He has a plan for our lives.
