Faith.
In addition to the wonderful church I belong to- Greenford Christian. Who was there in my hospital room after Nathan died praying over me and who was there in the waiting room with me when my newborn was being operated on. Here are some books and music that helped/continue to help me tremendously with my grief.
You’ll Get Through This- Max Lucado
An anonymous person from my church sent this book to me and I have since passed it on and bought another copy for someone else. I would suggest it to anyone who has had “knees hit the floor” life moments.
Another good read is Through The Eyes of a Lion- Levi Lusko
In addition to my church and books, music is very healing to me. KLove is my go to station for comfort. Here are four songs that I really connect with. I included some lyrics to each song but I would highly recommend listening to each one in its entirety.
Thy Will Be Done- Hillary Scott https://youtu.be/Dp4WC_YZAuw
“I don’t wanna think
I may never understand
That my broken heart is a part of your plan
When I try to pray
All I’ve got is hurt and these four words
Thy will be done”
God Only Knows- For King & Country https://youtu.be/Q5cPQg3oq-o
“God only knows what you’ve been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows how it’s killing you
But there’s a kind of love that God only knows”
God’s Not Done with You- Tauren Wells https://youtu.be/cVHrkYBEgFM
“Right now all you see are ashes
Where there was a flame
The truth is that you’re not forgotten
‘Cause Grace knows your name
God’s not done with you
Even with your broken heart and your wounds and your scars
God’s not done with you
Even when you’re lost and it’s hard and you’re falling apart
God’s not done with you
It’s not over, it’s only begun
So don’t hide, don’t run
‘Cause God’s not done with You”
Scars- I Am They https://youtu.be/OqjGT9BSyJA
“’Cause my brokenness brought me to You
And these wounds are a story You’ll use
So I’m thankful for the scars
‘Cause without them I wouldn’t know Your heart
And I know they’ll always tell of who You are
So forever I am thankful for the scars”
Symphony- Switch https://youtu.be/QNhGnUoPZ_0
“And even in the madness, there is peace
Drowning out the voices all around me
Through all of this chaos
You were writing a symphony, a symphony”
