Tonight as I get ready to lay my head on my pillow for the night I find myself craving the presence of Jesus. Anger and frustration and sadness have run my day and I long to rest in the arms of Jesus. To surrender and be still is easier said then done. Jesus, how I long for your healing touch and your embrace. May the words "Be Still and Know that I am God" ring true for me this night. May the stillness of your Spirit overwhelm my soul tonight. May your mercies come new in the morning. Amen.
"A million miles away from anything familiar
a thousand places I would rather be
so I choke back the tears and try to find the bright side
though I find it hard to see beyond my suffering
in my heart I know your plan is so much bigger
but this small part is all that I can see
and I believe you haven’t left me here to wander
still I can't help but ponder
where you're leading me
and I ask why this road
why this wayand this load
tell me how far must I go till I see
till I know why this road
A million miles away from anything familiar
what was it like to be so far from home
though you came in lovethe world misunderstood you
there must have been some days when you felt so alone
but you endured, cause there was joy before you
joy that came because you sacrificed
Since you gave yourself just to spend forever with me
surely I can trust you'll lead me through my darkest times
From here I can not see
why you'd choose this path for me
but I don't have to understand to believe
that you know why this road
why this way and this load
you know how far I must go till I see
till I know why this road"
