That day....

Good morning. It's Tuesday.

May 11, 2021

"Yet Jerusalem says, “The Lord has deserted us; the Lord has forgotten us. “Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you! SEE, I HAVE WRITTEN YOUR NAME ON THE PALMS OF MY HANDS."

Isaiah 49:14‭-‬16 NLT

Hearing that scripture in the early morning hours when sleep escaped me calmed my anxious heart. He, my Savior, Redeemer and Friend has MY name written on the palms of his hands. And that is exactly how I will survive this day, THAT day. 

Six years....how can it be? Time passes, life moves...yet on this day time stands still. This day seems like a year. Every single second is a memory. Yes, it's a hard day. These are hards days. But God....

"I lift up my eyes to the hills----where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. 

He will not let your foot slip---He who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord watches over you--the Lord is the shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from all harm---he watch will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forever more." Psalm 121

Such precious words I can cling to that will never fail me.

God, today is hard. Six years out I don't know why this happened and why I lost so much but what I do know is that you are faithful and true. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Because of you, I can face today head on. Because you live I can face tomorrow.
