When I Don't Know What to Do

The most beautiful song.

This is the perfect song to listen to while praying for loved ones.
It speaks to the very core of my soul--because
I never know what to do or what to say.
Thank God--He's God,
always on His throne.
He does know what to do

And though we'll never understand...
we trust Him, don't we?
when we don't know what to do.

Let your healing come, Lord, let your healing come...
to Eric
to Alvaro
to the man across town who's contemplating suicide...
to a friend who's so incredibly lonely
to a 93 year old friend, Lord, who's so tired of being on this earth
to a friend who fell and hurt her knee.
to fathers and mothers who are sick and alone with nothing but memories
Let your perfect healing come.

We need you, Lord.
We trust you Lord...
only you...
when we don't know what to do.
Let your healing come.

Note: Our one-year-old nephew went to live with Jesus today. Please pray for his parents, his three year old brother and his grandparents as they face this tragedy.

I Wish I Was A Songwriter

I wish I was a songwriter instead of . . . whatever I am.

Can you imagine flicking on the radio and hearing words that came from deep down in your soul making their way across the airwaves into the hearts of complete strangers? Can you imagine creating a melody so powerful, so beautiful it can instantly soothe a troubled mind, a wounded spirit, heal (at least encourage) a broken heart?
Can you imagine someone you didn't even know existed wanting to, needing to, aching to hear your song over and over and over again.

Words + Melody = ________________________ (fill in the blank for me.)

I love books but there are times I wish I was a songwriter.
