Lead of Love

Looking back at the road so far
The journey's left its share of scars
Mostly from leaving the narrow and straight

Looking back it is clear to me
That a man is more than the sum of his deeds
And how You've made good of this mess I've made
Is a profound mystery

Looking back you know
You had to bring me through
All that I was so afraid of
Though I questioned the sky, now I see why
Had to walk the rocks to see the mountain view
Looking back I see the lead of love

Love it! I was listening to that song on the way home from work today because one of my friends recommended it to me. I've heard it before, and loved it, but just listening to it over again has been incredible. I just think its so true to the fact that once God completely breaks you down, He will rebuild you into something new. No matter how hopeless life seems, God is going to be there and lead you to something incredible. Marvelous!

I'm helping to lead one of our Life Skills activities this weekend. I'm a little nervous. I wont say too much now because I want to see how it goes first. I'm also leading an art project for my family group just so we can have a fun arts and crafts night.

Fears. We spoke about our fears for awhile the other day and what we want to ask God for. I realized that a lot of my fears that keep me from doing things stem off the fear of abandonment. Many times I struggle to fully trust God because I feel like He is going to take me down a path, walk with me half way, and then leave me on my own to finish. That terrifies me because I know I can't do it alone. I really need Him to be there, hold my hand right now, and guide me to where He wants to be. Once I was able to admit that to myself, it became a little clearer to me that God is not going to abandon me anytime soon. How comforting is that...knowing that we never have to do this alone. Never. Our Savior is always with us :)!
