Weary

Share

My sweet friend Emily is taking a break from writing Thoughts for Thursday today. So, you gotta put up with another day of my writings. ~wink~

I originally started the Thoughts for Thursday postings for just any random thoughts I had. As I sit here and prepare to write my thoughts for today, only one word comes to my mind. Weary.

As a Mom we put so much into our kids, don't we? And when something is wrong with them, especially a baby that can't communicate it's even harder. And all we want to do is fix it. As I write this my husband is trying to get my 10 month old to take a bottle of Nutramigen formula. Up until now he has been strictly breastfed. He is really fighting it. Why are trying to get him to take it? Because he has had diarrhea for 17 days straight. You heard me. Seventeen Days. The GI Dr has given us some dietary changes to make and we are in the process of giving this a try. We've had a lot of other things going on the past few weeks that have really worn us down physically and emotionally, including a death in the family. I keep thinking of Moms out there who deal w/ Special Needs children on a daily basis and all I have to say is God Bless You! I think it takes a very special person to deal w/ special needs/sick kiddos on a daily basis and I have much respect for them.

One of my new favorite songs is "Your Hands" by JJ Heller. I was riding in the car this morning after another sleepless night up taking care of sick kids. I was listening to the radio and told God I really needed to hear a good song to lift my spirits. And this song came on, bringing tears to my eyes. The song that came on after that was again about, how God never leaves us. I am thankful I serve a God who is alive and NEVER leaves me. :)

Here are the lyrics:

I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn't there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That You would take my pain away
That You would take my pain away

I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crookedly lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands

When You walked upon the Earth
You healed the broken, lost, and hurt
I know You hate to see me cry
One day You will set all things right
Yea, one day You will set all things right

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands

Your hands
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave You when...

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave...
I never leave Your hands .
