This one goes out to my Mama!

Today I was talking about the world with my Mom. Specifically, how when really horrible things happen, it's hard to see God's purpose in it. It's easy to feel down, perhaps angry at God, and wonder what's next. I often feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop- if God could take my husband, why not something else? And yet, the fact remains that despite what WE see, He is the God who SEES and He loves us. He has a plan. I was listening to some music tonight, and I feel like these two songs say it better than I ever could. So Mom, this is all I got!


"How He Loves Us"- Jesusculture


He is jealous for me 
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree 
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy 
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory 
and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me. 
Oh, how He loves us so 
Oh, how He loves us 
How He loves us so. 

Yeah, He loves us 
Oh, how He loves us 
Oh, how He loves us 
Oh, how He loves. 

So we are His portion and He is our prize, 
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes 
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking 
So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss and my heart turns violently inside of my chest 
I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way 

That he loves us, 
Oh, how He loves us 
Oh, how He loves us 
Oh, how He loves 

He loves us, 
Oh, how He loves us 
Oh, how He loves us 
Oh, how He loves 









"Your Love Never Fails"- Jesus Culture

Nothing can separate
Even if I ran away
Your love never fails

I know I still make mistakes
But You have new mercies for me everyday
Your love never fails

You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There maybe pain in the night but joy comes in the morning

And when the oceans rage
I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that You love me 
Your love never fails

The wind is strong and the water's deep
But I'm not alone in these open seas
Cause Your love never fails

The chasm is far too wide
I never thought I'd reach the other side
But Your love never fails

You make, all things, work together for my good.
