There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman called "Speechless". I have never felt the lyrics of that song more than I do now. The past seven months have been very trying. So much has happened, good and bad. Some things were big, some were very small. No matter what has happened, it has all somehow worked out. It's no secret that I have struggled in my faith. I'm sure everyone does at some point, but I really had a hard time believing that God would allow me to go through some things that I had to go through. When I was a teenager, away at summer camp, I accepted Christ as my Savior. I'm sure I meant it at the time, but I had yet to go through some of the hardest times in my life and I lost sight of all that. A few days before I left to move to Maryland, back in October, I sat down with my cousin, who also happened to be my Pastor, and we talked for a long time. I accepted Christ as my Savior again and I have felt his presence with me ever since, something I have not felt before in my life.
Some of the things that have occurred could be explained as simply as good people doing nice things, but I know it is God's hand. I am new in this walk and I am truly speechless. The lyrics say it best:
I am Speechless
I'm astonished and amazed
I am silenced by your wondrous grace.
You have saved me
You have raised me from the grave.
And I am Speechless
In your presence now.
I'm astounded as I consider how
You have shown us a love that leaves us speechless

Amen and amen. Hard times are no fun, but knowing God is there holding you and walking is an immeasurable comfort. I love the song that Natalie Grant sings, "Held". The idea that we aren't promised respite from hard times, the promise is that we will be held. We have hope in our dark times, hope of life eternal with our amazing God. I've been holding to this a lot lately in dealing with my son's allergies and health problems. I couldn't imagine life without this eternal hope and comfort of God!
God bless you!
