Hold Me Together.

The night I entered back into the "regular" part of this crazy life of mine, with tears in my eyes, I prayed Jesus hold me together. Life just isn't always easy. And it isn't always going to be. But you wanna know what happened? The very next day I read Colossians 1. In which I found, "He is Before all things, and in Him all things hold together." Through His Word He gives just what I need, He writes a love story, it's glue for this life. Later, a sweet lady sent this exact verse via text.

Maybe, maybe it is more than you can handle, but He's walking with you through it. He can hold you together. Don't lose sight of that. This last week I lost sight of thankfulness. All I could think about was what needed to get done, what things weren't working out, being whisked away by my emotions. However, we are told over and over again to be thankful. To be full of thankfulness, gratitude. It is then that our outlook is fixed, and life doesn't seem nearly as hard. Through this season in my life, the song Blessed Be Your Name is one that continues to go through my mind. One that I often need to sing. Through abundance, desert, darkness, when the world's all as it should be or not, still I will choose to say blessed be Your name. And thank You for holding me together, and continue to ask that You do.
