The words became etched into my heart as I listened to the song repeatedly.
"...When my plans have fallen through,
And when my strength is nearly gone,
When there's nothing left to do but just depend on You
And the power of Your name..."
Years later, I find my self singing those words many times. My plans didn't unfold as I thought they would. Continuallly, I find myself longing for His strength. Constantly, I find myself depending on Him for there is nothing left to do. No obvious answers. No definite explanations. No reasons given. Simply waiting and leaning on Him.
I am deeply grateful for the "Nod from God" moments when I know He reminds me of His love and faithfulness. I am touched when doors open that only He could move. Yet even in those difficult, unexpected moments when doors close, plans change, hearts break and tears fall...I know I will trust Him. I will love Him. I will lean on Him. I will depend on Him.
Burdens in this life? Definitely. More than I imagined. Blessings in this life? Absolutely. More than I deserve. Knowing He loves me, listens to me and leads me closer to Him? It's the only way I continue walking this journey...in His arms.♥~thl
