Never Alone.

The weather here the past few days has been showers on and off and I am loving it. Today, it's beautiful and 89, I think Avery said she wanted to go to the park.. ;P


So yesterday I was in Denton and had to drive back to Fort Worth for a potential job opportunity. I was very anxious and nervous since I have been hearing "NO" more than I'd like to hear the past 3 months. The entire time I was driving in morning traffic I was behind a storm and was catching the rain on and off. I was praying to God and just laying things from my heart to his ears when I turned on the radio and the chorus to Casting Crowns "Praise you in this storm" came blaring on....


I was sure by now,
God, that You would have reached down 
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.

Chorus:
And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm 

 It caught be off guard when the lyrics sunk in for me and I just started crying. Yep, I've been doing a lot of that lately too but this was different. How silly I am being lately for feeling alone and defeated over this job junk. That one song just changed my attitude over a lot of things I am juggling these days. If that wasn't a sign, I don't know what is.


Then the next song came on.... "Never Alone" by Barlow Girl. This is now a favorite of mine and if I ever got the guts to sing at church I would love to sing this with some of the other talented ladies at church. It literally gives me goosebumps. I just heard it again and told Evan about my commute yesterday and how these 2 songs have made me realize I wasn't doing my job as a christian, I forgot who is in charge and who has never failed me yet.








I waited for you today
But You didn't show
No.No.No.
I needed You today
So where did you go?
You told me to call
you said You'd be there
And though I haven't seen You
Are You still there?

Chorus
I cried out with no reply and
I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I'm never alone.

And though I can not see You
and I can't explain why.
Such a deep, deep reassurance
You've placed in my life oh
We cannot separate
'Cause You're part of me
and though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen

Chorus
I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I'm never alone

We cannot separate
You're part of me
and though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen

Chorus
I cried out with no reply
and I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I'm never alone




Just wanted to share this with you. Hope your all having a GREAT 3 day weekend.
