Say won't you Say

This Mystery

" And life becomes the round and round, revolving door that wont slow down.....Do You wish , do You want to us to breath again, say goodbye to the lines that we've colored in....Do You cry, do You hope for all things made new.....That we might be the hands and feet of This Mystery."~Nichole Nordeman

I am completely humbled tonight as I read the sweet sincere words of one of the most amazing women I've ever known and for her unceasing faith in our Lord and in His miracles. Kim just cries and pleads with the Lord on behalf of her father who's life is dangling in the Lords hands as we speak due to his battle with cancer. It baffles how the Lord allows certain people to have specific trials and struggles. Although we know and trust that He won't give us more than we can handle.....Sometimes I just feel like saying "Ok God, enough is enough!" But I know for a fact that Kim is handling this in the best way possible, just daily; moment by moment continuing to Pray, seek God's will in this, Cry out to him her hurts and fears and also Praising Him for His Goodness in the midst of chaos. She is a Rock.

It's perfectly normal for us to not quite get This Mystery that is our Lord and how He works often times. We will never be able to fully grasp and fully understand until the day we meet our Maker. Even then, I'm pretty sure I won't question Him or His ways, But simply stand in Awe. There are so many mysteries that we face on a daily basis. We want to solve them.....find clues and analyze the evidence we have to back up what we think about things. But when we are real with ourselves, the only thing we really know is what we know and trust to be true of the Lord and of His word. I have found that He is not a God of confusion, but of clarity. In the midst of a confusion time, when I begin to pray for clarity I always get it...maybe not in my time, or in the way I would like, but He is faithful to grant me that.

Reading Kim's blogs about her dad bring a lot of clarity to my life; mostly that Life is short and precious and He gives and He takes away and we just never know when either of those things will and can happen for us. Also, that my petty little problems or issues that I think I am facing everyday or stuggling with, Completely take a back seat, and some even disappear the moment I see Kim dealing with this in the most amazing, faithful, and optimistic way. I love this girl and am truly blessed to have known her since we were twelve. I miss her and wish I could be with her through this time...I am on my knees for her and her family and am so hopeful for what the Lord can do!
