I wrote this a long time ago. We are still in the midst of this awful, stress filled circumstance, and we just keep praying for the Lord’s peace. This is just where we’re at right now.
PEACE
It feels like the world is crashing down around us
In our flesh we don’t know what to do
But ‘Great is My peace’ you promise
If only we turn and worship you.
Amid turmoil and uncertainty
Your banner will always stand
A shield you raise and a fortress around
.As you hold us in your hand.
We fall short, we fall down
We say ‘But Lord, there’s something we must do’
And again you say, ‘Great is My peace’
If only we turn and worship you.
To worship, to raise our hands
To surrender worldly cares
Is difficult in times of trouble, but
‘Never will I leave you’– you remind us you are there
When it seems the world is crashing down
And in our flesh, we don’t know what to do
But great is our peace in You
As we turn to worship, true.
I pray that this storm passes quickly, and that on the other side you will be able to be thankful for what you learned and how you grew through it, despite it’s swells and tosses. I pray his peace for you in the midst of this storm, until he calms it and brings your through.
Amen.
Trying times are never easier, but God always brings us through them if he doesn’t take us around them.
Is David getting OT now? Meghan also has a need for sensory input. We got her a mini (she’s 2 1/2) trampoline to help her, but she doesn’t use it too much.
Meghan gets a bit of OT…how helpful, I’m not sure, but since it certainly doesn’t hurt.
When did your son get dx? How is he doing today? I ask bc before Meghan was dx, she really stumped her therapist in how to get a sound other than /mmm/ out of her. But now she has words…real words I can understand…and sometimes even other people. She is even putting words together now. All this in about 9 months time! I have great hope that she will speak in sentences and sing songs in a couple of years…and that she will be understood. I hope.
