No One Can Touch You Like...

Jesus can. An old song we used to sing in church...

 Lately, life has taken some interesting turns. Not all bad, not all good...just turns. I haven't felt like blogging. Usually blogging is rather cathartic, but not right now. I think I have been overwhelmed.

It will be fine in the end. Why do I know that, you ask? Because my God has it all worked out. He's never forsaken me and He doesn't plan to. Yeah, I'm that confident.

Back to the song...it came to me the other night. A few weeks ago, I experienced something I haven't experienced in a long time. I extended my heart to someone, voiced my love for them and in return I received...nothing. Yep, that's right, I told someone dear to me that I loved them (for the record, I truly do, that hasn't changed) yet, it wasn't reciprocated. This may not be a big deal to some, but for me it was. It hurt. Bottom line.

I felt childish for thinking so, but it took me back to the time when I realized that my biological father was the least bit interested in me. It hurt, but I blocked the pain with anger. Since then I've let it go. So when this situation occurred it surprised me that I could feel that way all over again. However, now that I am older, I've learned that people fail but God doesn't. I asked God to take the pain away, that is when this song came to me, here are the words:
Life doesn't kiss away the pain
All the hurt you can't explain
When you're injured by a brother
But He takes you underneath His wings
He'll restore your broken dreams
He will love you like no other

No one can touch you like Jesus can
No one can give you peace you cannot understand
No one can bind your wounds with nail scarred hands
No one can touch you like Jesus can.

Hands that touched the blind the lame
Are now in so much pain
From nails that truly pierced them.
But from His side flows liquid love
It was a power from up above
It brings hope and Restoration.

Loved this post, sis Kim ;)
Yes, NO ONE can touch like Jesus can... What a sweet song and a beautiful message in the song itself.
Life has a way of setting us on a down ward slope, but CHRIST is there to keep us from complete distruction... His healing love of mercy so full of grace is almost worth all that the world wishes to bring...
Just be encouraged my dear young friend... He is a beautiful balm during our roughes times in life... He WILL NEVER leave you and He WILL NEVER forsake you... keep those promises in the for front of your heart and mind.
He is all that matters.

Sis Dinwiddie~ Me too! And I often miss those old time, deep songs we used to sing. They speak truth!

Sis Ruby~ Thank you, I refuse to be bitter and stay down. God is bigger than any pain! He endured all on the cross so that I can be free. Love you much!

Life in the Real World!

Let me preface everything I am about to say by saying, I have the most wonderful, intelligent, beautiful, talented children ever created! (now I've lost you because your thinking, she's wrong, I do, your right, you do too!) So why is it that they can also be the complete opposite(at times)? Why do I have to tell the same child everyday to not bring a blanket to the table. I tell them "Please get dressed before you come eat." Apparently, it is much easier to wrap oneself in a blanket and then have to fish your hands out to eat! Why does my child who can remember things from infancy(seems that way anyhow) have to be reminded every morning to "Please brush your teeth"? Why does my child, who can't stand for anyone to touch their belongings, think it is ok for them to get into my purse everyday and chew my gum, use my chapstick, and eat any mints that might be left from the previous days' rampage? How is it that my child, who thinks the world is their ca

An anniversary, a birthday and a birth defect??

Image
You are probably wondering what that is all about. Right?? Well, on Wednesday, Ashley came running into the house crying, not screaming, just crying. She had tripped over Zoey's (our dog) leash and scraped her arm. Not a big deal, no blood. However, on closer examination, I noticed a lump on her elbow, as if her arm was out of socket. Strange, I never noticed that before and she wasn't screaming out in pain. So, being the worrisome mom that I am, I called the doctor. Of course they said bring her in. So off to Kaiser we go, first to be seen by a doctor(who wasn't even going to do an x-ray until I persisted), then to Radiology for x-rays, back to the same doctor who was surprised there was actually a reason to do the x-ray. She then told me that her radius was not in the right place and it could be the result of an injury prior to that day or from birth(which would be considered a birth defect). She told me she was going to send a referral to Orthopedics. Great, maybe someon

Home Again, Home Again, Jiggety Jig!!!

We arrived home late Sunday night after what seemed like a year away from home. (Actually it was a little over three weeks.) We left on the 7th of August at about 4 pm and drove to Grants Pass. We stayed the night there, getting up the next morning and continuing on to Portland. We got to Portland about 3pm, spent the evening hanging out at my brother's house and getting ready for the next day. Saturday the 9th, we celebrated my littlest nephew, Judah Milo Carlson's first birthday. His actual birthday is the 14th but for sake of family and friends we had the party that Saturday. My brother's church family came and then some of his family and some of my sister in laws family came. We bar-b-qued and played games, but mostly just talked. Then the next day was church. We went to church with them, they go to the Gleason's church in Oregon City. They are very sweet people. I love Sis. Gleason, she always has the kindest words to say. OK, continuing on, Monday was just a play
