Katrina,
I could not agree more, I know when I was diagnosed I was 3000 miles away from my family and it seemed that all I had was my faith to fall back on and my “never say quit” attitude.
While on this subject I would like to share something with my family here. There is a local a cappella christian group here, they have released a few albums. One of the songs on the album I listen to most is called [B]Trust His Heart[/B], I feel the lyrics say it all for anyone going through what all of us are/have.
[QUOTE]
[FONT=Times New Roman][B]TRUST HIS HEART[/B][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]All things work for our good, though sometimes we can’t see how they could. Struggles that break our hearts in two sometimes blind us to the truth. Our Father knows what’s best for us, but His ways are not our own. So, when your pathway grows dim and you just can’t see Him. Remember, He’s still on the throne.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman] [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][I]Chorus:[/I] God is too wise to be mistaken, God is too good to be unkind. So, when you don’t understand, when you don’t see His plan. When you can’t trace His hand, trust His heart.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman] [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]He sees the master plan, He holds our future in His hands. So don’t live as those who have no hope, all our hope is found in Him. We walk in present knowledge, but He sees the first and the last. And like a tapestry, He’s weaving you and me, to someday be just like Him.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman] [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][I]Chorus:[/I][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman] [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]He alone is faithful and true and He alone knows what is best for you.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman] [/FONT]
[I][FONT=Times New Roman]Chorus:[/FONT][/I]
[/QUOTE]The group is called One Generation at onegeneration.net for any interested.
