Have you Heard?

I love this song .

I  have been listening to it for a couple of years now. But just recently, when feeling a little “down” about Jeremiah’s birth and following NICU stay I heard a line for the first time so to speak. Yes, being “down” feeling cheated, and otherwise throwing myself a pity party for being a “NICU momma” is a tool that The Enemy uses often to pull my focus off my Savior and His calling for my life and put it on myself. When I start to feel the pull of life getting to me. Thinking life isn’t fair. It isn’t fair I have “missed” two of my babies first weeks while they struggled for life in the hospital. It isn’t fair that I have had sick children for the past two weeks now. It isn’t fair that I have missed church three times now due to illness. But like we’ve all heard before, “Life isn’t fair!”.

So, there is a line in this song. It says, “From life’s first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny.”

I. Love. This. Line.

I has become something I say to myself over and over again. I didn’t “miss” anything with my boys. I didn’t “miss” church. Every breath, every day, every going, and every coming. He is in control. So whenever I get discouraged about life not going my way, I just sing to myself.

“From life’s first cry, to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny.”

This is where I am supposed to be today. If this is where Christ wants me, this is where I want to be. I want to find joy and peace and love to shower on others that are also here with me. Because this is where He wants me today.
