This morning my daughter and I danced around the living room to the song "10000 Reasons". It was fun, she giggled, and I was reminded that God is worth trusting.
Recently the adventure of life has taken me in directions I never planned, guessed, or would have chosen. Yet here I am. In the pacific northwest. It's gorgeous here. Even the drive to Target takes my breath away. Despite the beauty I am floundering and feeling lost.
Who am I now? Now that my job has changed? Now that I am in limbo? Who am I in this waiting period? Who am I in my family now that my role has changed and the system and structure has changed? What am I doing?
"Bless the Lord O my soul, O my soul
And worship His holy name.
Sing like never before, O my soul,
And worship His holy name...."
Bless Him, huh. Ok.
Practice joy and gratitude.
Trust that he did not bring me here to harm me but to give me a future and a hope.
10,000 reasons for my heart to find?
I will do my best to find those reasons - reasons to trust in the midst of doubt; reasons to hope in the midst of despair; reasons to move forward in the midst of an ending.
"Bless the Lord O my soul, O my soul
And worship His holy name.
Sing like never before, O my soul,
And worship His holy name...."
