Breathing

When I last wrote I shared that I was in the 'crazy spin zone' and was just wanting a moment to breathe! God is so good. This past Sunday morning I was so encouraged as I sought to worship my maker, the God of this universe. I have the great privilege to lead the praise team and music for Sunday mornings and I had so prayed over the music for this particular Sunday; because it was such a cry of where I was in my life. I also have the great privilege to be taught the Word by my own father every Sunday. This Sunday I felt like God allowed the service to be specically for me (though, thankfully I am not so self-centered to think it was really for me...) Anyway, my dad was teaching on the Flood. As we studied the text, my dad pointed the application to the times of "flood" in our lives, whatever that may be. He opened and closed the message with the passage in Isaiah 43:1-3 which says:

"...Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you. For I am the Lord your God..."

As my dad concluded the message and read this passage I gave whatever pieces of 'life' I was holding on to over to God and I began to cry, but I also began to breathe!! I am so grateful for the Word of God that knows exactly when, where, and how to get us where we need to be gotten.
So...my week has been crazy still, but I am breathing as it goes.
