I vowed to get back to "normal" last week. Umm... I didn't do too well with that.

I cried a lot.
I couldn't get out of bed.
I wasn't able to do much of anything.

Most of you know that my Grandfather "Pop" recently passed away and my world has literally been shaking. My heart still hurts over the whole week. Flashbacks hit me out of nowhere. The night before he passed I couldn't sleep. I think it was the Lords way of preparing my heart, He was trying to have me listen to Him, talk to Him, pray to Him.

Last night, I couldn't sleep.... again. It scared me right down to my bones as I thought Please don't have me awake to prepare me for something else.... Please oh please.

Falling fast asleep, shortly after I my plea, my body thanked me as the 6:00am alarm clock pierced through my ears. As I mediatate on today's Music Monday song, I'm reminded my world can shake, but Heaven will always stand. I envision my Grandfather walking the streets of Heaven, hugging my Savior, feeling the greatest happiness anyone could ever fathom.

That morning, I pleaded with God to save him. I grew frustrated and screamed silently You can save him, so why don't you?! Although I stepped out into the flesh through anger and hurt, my God held me and my family in His healing hands.

As JJ Heller sings it I know you hate to see me cry. One day you will set all things right. Your heart breaks each time I shed a tear and I never leave your hands, the hands that shaped the world.





JJ Heller - Your Hands
Album: Painted Red

I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn’t there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That you would take my pain away
You would take my pain away

I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crooked lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine

When my world is shaking, heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave your hands

When you walked upon the earth
You healed the broken, lost and hurt
I know you hate to see me cry
One day you will set all things right
Yeah, one day you will set all things right

When my world is shaking, heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave your hands

Your hands that shaped the world
Are holding me
They hold me still
