It is Well

I'm just learning my new favorite song.

It's by Bethel Music, and called "It is Well."  It's rather wonderful.

The family has been through some difficulty lately - some practical and some existential.  Trying to figure out who we are and what we're doing here.  Those questions get more difficult when there is real pain, of course.

My pastor preached a sermon this morning about praying and acting out of faith instead of fear.  It made me realize just how many fears I was carrying around and trying to let guide me, even.  Like since they were the strongest force I could feel, it seemed like they were worth navigating by.

Wrong decision, because it was leading me essentially nowhere, slow.

"So let go my soul, and trust in Him; the waves and wind still know His name."

This needs to be my banner, my life's bumper-sticker, my theme.
