In Christ Alone

The mother of one of my most dear friends is undergoing surgery this morning to remove cancer from her breast. This is her second surgery in just two weeks. Please be in prayer for her this morning. Storm the gates of heaven. Pray specifically that she would have clear boundaries after the surgery, that she would not have to undergo chemo, and that she would come off the anesthesia without nausea.

How odd it is that so many of you, I have no idea who you are, yet you come back day in and day out to see what's going on in our lives. I've been neglectful to post about the stirrings in the depths of my heart (it's much easier to evade that whole portion). Today, this is where I am, and I need your prayer. As in so many of life's trials, I don't understand the why of things. All I am certain of is that I do have a loving heavenly father who has a plan. Although I "see through the veil dimly," I don't have to know what happens next...only that it has first passed through his hands and it is meant to woo me back to God.

We sing this song in church frequently. The lyrics are so powerful and they bring such peace to the chaos inside my heart.
