Confession...I cry almost every Sunday. This one was no different. There is always something at church...usually the music...that makes me cry. The last couple of years...and especially the last six months have been probably the most emotional of my life...and I'm not even the one hurting. I have never understood people falling to their knees to pray...until I had to do it myself because I just didn't have the strength to stand anymore...and I was not/am not the one truly hurting. I have had family and friends go through a pain and who are currently going through a pain that I just simply cannot wrap my brain or my heart around. The preacher just finished up a series on Job...and I came away with these thoughts. God, too, lost a son...for me. God is just. Our lives are filled with suffering. From our suffering, at it's core...we find out who we really are. We find a purpose in life. That purpose is to bring glory to God. I have no idea why things happen the way they do...why hurt comes to good people. But I do know that we are never alone...I do know that there is a greater plan in place that is beyond me to comprehend. He closed his service with this song...My Redeemer Lives by Nicole Mullens. My favorite line...:"Because He lives, I can face tomorrow." Click on the link to watch the video! It's a really pretty song and I love that she sings in Spanish, English, and signs...very cool:)
