Conrerstone

A few weeks before surgery JT requested this song over and over again.  We gladly listened and sang and loved it.  Then it came on again yesterday and as I sung the words I just melted.  My son has wisdom that I cannot wrap my brain around. I believe God placed this song on his heart for a reason, a BIG reason!

A few days ago I wanted to blog about being strong in our weakness. For the first time in a very long time I have let down my guard and let others in. I have asked for help (a very humbling and hard thing for me to do) I have been honest when people ask how he is doing.  Not great.  It's been really hard. Jake and I are exhausted.  Pray for Jake's back as he does almost all of the awkward lifting and carrying.... the list goes on.  I have said it before, I will say it again, this journey is NOT one we would have chosen.  We would in truth, have gladly passed on this journey.  Challenge us another way God.  Don't do this to our child God.  Give me the pain, give me the burden, the load to carry.  It's too big a load for such a small child.  Truth be told, I hate this journey. I have been angry with God in the past. I have yelled, cursed (yes, I lit his butt up a few times) I have been so incredibly angry.  Oddly, I don't find anger.  I am sad, I can be angry especially when he is crying in pain and I cannot help.  But I look at JT and I just know he is called to a greater, a higher purpose! His treasures in heaven will far surpass mine! I can only imagine!

Instead of anger I find humility. I am thankfully at peace most of the time. Worried, yes.  Sad, yes. Angry, at times, yes.  At peace, yes. Hopeful, yes. Thankful for what is to come, yes.

Read this song and if you have time, look it up and listen to it too.

Cornerstone

Hillsong Worship

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But holly trust is Jesus' name

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But holly trust is Jesus' name

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior's love
Through the storm
He is Lord
Lord of all

When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
My anchor holds within the veil

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior's love
Through the storm
He is Lord
Lord of all
He is Lord
Lord of all, Christ alone

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior's love
Through the storm
He is Lord
Lord of all

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior's love
Through the storm
He is Lord
Lord of all

When he shall come with trumpet sound
Oh, may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless, stand before the throne

Cornerstone
Oh, yeah, in the Savior's love
He is Lord
Lord of all

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior's love
Through the storm
He is Lord
Lord of all
