Trials and Tribulations

When I was in the 6th grade, I was in the youth choir. The first performance we had in church included a song that I’ll never forget. It has always been a song I have kept in my heart. Over 20 years ago, I learned it and kept singing it all these years. Until this year, I didn’t know what it meant to live out the words of a song. Or to live out what God has called us to do.

Y’all, I had no clue what I was singing back then. I had no idea the depths of sorrow I would endure. The hills and valleys of life. But through everything, I am learning that I can face every tomorrow. Not because I’m strong enough. But, God is able. He is my strength. I will never be enough. Only through him can I get out of bed each day. He has called me to this. And through this, I hope I can point someone to Him. I truly hope through losing Will, someone is seeing that God is going to lead us through. I pray that many will know Jesus because of our loss. Suffering has a purpose and life on this earth is not the end goal.

I’ve put the lyrics below from that Clay Cross song. I’m also gonna put a picture up of Will, just because he’s too sweet not to share.
