A new day and the sun still shines....

Today is a new day and although I am still hurting and questioning "why", God is still God and He is good. I don't know where this road is taking us or how long we will be on it but I know God is with us and that He has planned this journey. Contrary to what I want to believe, it is also not all about me and what I want. This is His plan and we play a small part in it. I know I will fail at remembering that in my daily walk, but I won't walk it alone. The song "Mountain of God" by Third Day opened my eyes and gave me comfort this morning as I awoke to face the day. I stood in my kitchen crying, praising, and thanking God that He is here with me. Always.

Also, I want to thank everyone for their words of comfort and uplifting support. Yesterday was bad, but I can't imagine what it would have been like without all of you that were there for me.

Read the lyrics and listen to this song. If it doesn't apply to your life right now I bet you can think of a time when it did.


"Mountain of God"
by
Third Day


Thought that I was all alone
Broken and afraid
But You were there with me
Yes, You were there with me


And I didn't even know
That I had lost my way
But You were there with me
Yes, You were there with me


'Til You opened up my eyes
I never knew
That I couldn't ever make it
Without You


Even though the journey's long
And I know the road is hard
Well, the One who's gone before me
He will help me carry on
After all that I've been through
Now I realize the truth
That I must go through the valley
To stand upon the mountain of God


As I travel on the road
That You have lead me down
You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me
I have need for nothing more
Oh, now that I have found
That You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me


I confess from time to time
I lose my way
But You are always there
To bring me back again


Sometimes I think of where it is I've come from
And the things I've left behind
But of all I've had, what I possessed
Nothing can quite compare
With what's in front of me
With what's in front of me

Glad you doing good, and looking forward to when Genei will be home forever. Know I'm thinking of you. Sorry I haven't posted to you on the ladybug group. Just know I'm thinking and praying.

Hey girlie, I LOVE that song! Sorry to hear that God hasn't revealed Genei to you yet. Hang in there. The journey is long and so hard, but oh so worth it! Your baby girl is out there...and God is keeping her safe until she's ready to be united with her forever family.

What an amazing song! Your so right, I've been there before and I'm sure I'll be there again. This journey has been difficult but some positives have come out of too - like all you ladybugs!
Keep the faith and it will sustain you ;o)

Hi Alisha,
Glad to hear God is taking care of you and you are back on this journey that is definitely a roller coaster ride.... I can't wait for you to meet Genei and I know that I'll be cheering you on as you go and get her. Hang in there as you continue to wait. I love the lyrics to that song and Third Day is one of my favorite. Praying for you ~ Pam
