We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed.
We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but NEVER abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are NOT destroyed....
...That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles ARE SMALL and WONT LAST VERY LONG. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and WILL LAST FOREVER. So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.
2 Cor 4:8-9, 16-18

You hold me now...
The words in this song speak to me. I thought I would share it with you...
You Hold Me Now - Hillsong
On that day when I see
All that You have for me
When I see You face to face
There surrounded by Your grace
All my fears swept away
In the light of Your embrace
Where Your love is all I need
And forever I am free
Where the streets are made of gold
Where the streets are made of gold
In Your presence healed and whole
Let the songs of heaven
Rise to You alone
No weeping no hurt or pain
No weeping no hurt or pain
No suffering
You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sick or lame
No hiding
You hold me now
You hold me now
In this life I will stand
In this life I will stand
Through my joy and my pain
Knowing there's a greater day
There's a hope that never fails
Where Your Name is lifted high
And forever praises rise
For the glory of Your Name
I'm believing for the day
Where the wars and violence cease
Where the wars and violence cease
All creation lives in peace
Let the songs of heaven
Rise to You alone
For eternity
For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your Name

Therapy...
The what is painful, but somehow, it's made me strong and fortunate to be able to feel something at all
The where is deeper, felt in every heartbeat
The when was then and still today
The how, I wonder. It caught me by surprise, proving that it's stronger the second time around
The why, unclear
The who? It's you...it still you
But there's a greater plan....
