"All is Well. All is Well"

So I was thinking this evening. I kinda realized that I was letting my life go. Just kinda coasting. Realizing I'm not very good at some of the things I claim to love. Plus, I was reminded of a memory I did not like so much. I was talking to one of my friends and I guess the best way to descibe my feelings was in the question I asked them. "Have you ever had a moment where you realized how little you ment to someone who ment so much to you?" So yeah, I was kind not so happy. But one thing I love about me. I know how to make myself smile when I am about to cry. and luckily I had access to my music. I looked up the first song that came to mind.
"Who You Are" by Hilary Weeks. The lyrics are below.

"I know you wonder if you'll ever have a day
where the kids stay calm, laundrys done and the dishes are put away.
and sometimes you feel like you're days are spent and gone (yep)
and the question running through you mind is 'what have I gotten done?'
and when you finally have a momentto slow down
at the end of your day I know Father would say

Believe in what you're doing
Believe in who you are
and hold tight to the truth that you're a daughter of God
Believe in who you're becoming
Believe in who you are

It may seem simple all the little things you do
but the lives you touch matter so much
and there's no on else like you
And Father needs you to stand tall and faithful
to be all you can be
If you could see what he sees

You'd believe in what you're doing
You'd believe in who you are
So hold tight to the truth that you're a daughter of God
Believe in who you're becoming
Believe in who you are

When it's hard to believe in yourself
and you feel like you're begining to doubt
Remember

He believes in what you're doing
He believes in who you are
Don't lose sight of the truth that you're a daughter of God
He believes who you're becoming
He believes in who you are"

Those lyrics just reminded me of exactly the thing they are talking about. That when you feel like no one is there. Like the things you do don't mean much of anything. When you want to give up. When you doubt. When you fear. Remember there is always someone who believes in what you're doing and believes in who you are. If you could see what he sees you'd believe too. So why don't you try asking him somtime to give you a glimpse of what the Father sees in you. I promise it will change your life. at least that moment. plus, memories of that time moment will play back for years to come. like it says in the hymn "Come Come Ye Saints" "why should we mourn or think our lot is hard? Tis not so all is right. why should we think to earn a great reward, is we now shun the fight?" this goes along with the phrase that the Father needs YOU to "stand tall and faithful to be all you can be". I love that. It is an invitation to all that is so personal and individual. So "gird up your loins, fresh courage take." why? because "our God will never us forske" God is there for each and every one of us. You can leave him, but he won't leave you. other reason "and soon we'll have this tale to tell." It's kinda like saying this too shall pass. It may be hard, but with God on our side we cantake courage and know he will always be with us. making it easy to say in the end "All is Well. All is Well"

Just some thoughts

A Friend Always,
ME

PS I was just thinking, have you ever noticed how the song Come Come Ye Saints says "All is Well twice at the end of each verse. I was just noticing the set up of the song. The begining starts with something that could be considered a trial or hard ime in life such as saying things like how this journey may appear hard, why should we mourn?, far away, and should we dir before our journey's though. but every verse makes something difficult like traveling across the country in a wagon or handcart, or the loss of a loved one something positive. then they end with "All is well, All is well" wouldn't that be a great way to live. Yeah, thing can be hard. there are trials in life and we may not live through them, but we know where we're going. "All is Well. All is well" We have a purpose in mind. We know God will watch over us. We know we have God on our side and everything that may come our way is worth the price because we know the end result. "All is Well. All is Well"
