Conversations with the big man!

It seems like whenever I go through a long conversation with God he tends to give me songs as part of his reply. For example, when Peter was laid off and I was majorly stressing he gave me "King of Glory" which I posted about a little ways back. Lately I have been having further conversation about worries I have. It seems like where we currently are and where we want to be are years apart. I tend to get frustrated waiting for God to direct things in his time. One thing I have always known better then to pray for is patience and so I have purposfully avoided ever praying for that. Apparently I am going to get my share of patience one way or another.

So I will admit (because it's my blog and I hope that it's okay to) that I have had my frustrations and doubts about God listening to me lately. So I was releasing this frustration on God and he gives me this song:

Always
Building 429

I was standing in the pour raining
One dark November night
Fighting off the bitter cold
When she caught my eye
Her face was torn and her eyes were filled
And then to my surprise
She pulled out a photograph
And my heart just stopped inside
She said He would have been three today
I miss his smile, I miss his face

What was I supposed to say
But I believe always always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all hope is gone
God knows our pain
and His promise remains
He will be with you always

He was living in a broken world
dreaming of a home
His heart was barely keeping pace
When I found him all alone
Remembering the way he felt
When his daddy said goodbye
Fighting just to keep the tears
And the anger locked inside
He's barely holding on to faith
But deliverance is on its way

'Cuz I believe always always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all hope is gone
God knows our pain
and His promise remains
He will be with you always

Friend I don't know where you are
And I don't know where you've been
Maybe you're fighting for your life
Or just about to throw the towel in
But if you're crying out for mercy
If there's no hope left at all
If you've given everything you've got
And you're still about to fall
Well hold on, hold on, hold on

Cuz I believe always always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all faith is gone
God knows our pain and His promise remains
Always, Always
He will be with you always
He will be with you always
He will be with you


Then I also am reminded of a verse that I have gotten many times from him: "For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently." Romans 8:24-25

There's that dang patience talk again. For the most part I just type on this blog as more of a personal, and yet very public diary of the happenings in our lives so that I can come back years from now and see what we were up to in 2009. It is just nice that I can also keep friends and family up to date on what is happening. So more then anything this post is a personal diary of where I am right now, but I am sure we all could use this as a pick me up - because seriously we all have stresses and things that we are waiting patiently on.
