Day 7

This was actually supposed to posted yesterday, but I came down with a REALLY bad migraine last night. So bad that I almost had to go to the ER. My head never hurt so bad in my life! But thank God I am healed and I DIDN'T have to go to the hospital.

Have you ever been so beat up? So tired? So...worn? I mean just so tattered and so beaten down to the point of pure exhaustion? I have and I am there right now.

I truly believe God knows what He's doing and that He has a marvelous plan beyond what I can see, but right now it's hard to grasp and difficult to understand why I am struggling so much right now.

I am blessed beyond measure with 2 wonderful little boys and a great husband. I have a wonderful house, wonderful friends and an awesome God. So why do I struggle so much?

Almost a year ago my husband and I went through a very difficult situation and we were hurt by many people (CHURCH people) who we thought were our friends. We didn't know how we'd move on. We were hurt. We were angry. We were confused and we had said things we shouldn't have. We have tried to forgive and forget.

We felt abandoned. It ripped us apart. It ripped us apart so bad that it nearly ended our marriage of 10 years. It was the worst thing I have ever had to go through and I'm still struggling from it at times.

We are still struggling to see where God is leading us. But we are choosing to trust in Him and have faith that He has us right where He wants us.

Life will never be perfect but we serve a perfect God.

Have you heard of the song "Worn" from Tenth Avenue North?

I'm tired
I'm worn
My heart is heavy
From the work it takes to keep on breathing

I've made mistakes
I've let my hope fail
My soul feels crushed
By the weight of this world
And I know that you can give me rest
So I cry out with all that I have left

Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart that's frail and torn

I want to know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that's dead inside can be reborn
Cause I'm worn

I know I need
To lift my eyes up
But I'm too week
Life just won't let up
And I know that You can give me rest
So I cry out with all that I have left

Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart that's frail and torn

I want to know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that's dead inside can be reborn
Cause I'm worn

And my prayers are wearing thin
I'm worn even before the day begins
I'm worn I've lost my will to fight
I'm worn so heaven so come and fluid my eyes

Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart that's frail and torn

I want to know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that's dead inside can be reborn
Yes all that's dead inside will be reborn
Though I'm worn
Yeah I'm worn
