Beauty From Ash
The death of my son is the hardest chapter of my life. The pain from loosing a child can destroy every good part of your heart... if you let it.
God does not always give us an explanation of what He permits. He allows some to live free from sickness and pain, and others He permits terrible things to happen to them. We don't know why.
In the aftermath of complete dissapointment we have the opportunity to lean on God for the comfort that can keep our hearts from completely breaking. He can give us strength to stand up when we don't think we can. He can keep us sane when we think we will loose our mind. God also gives us hope that He takes broken things, the ashes of our destroyed desires, and He can make them into something beautiful.
In Isaiah 61:3 scripture points to what Jesus Christ will do for us.
"Provide for those who grieve in Zion,
to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.

I Will Rejoice
From Habakkuk 3:17-19, this is a song that deals with worship in the midst of our suffering. No matter what we loose or suffer, God can still be praised in the middle of it - and even after the worst is over He can take our tears and receive them as Holy offerings.

Incredible You
Fear is very present in our life. In every situation we face, we have a choice to believe that God is in control and that He can work good out of everything. We must choose to trust Him - and stand.

A Cross Or A Crown
The hardest part about being a disciple of Jesus is "being a disciple." When you surrender you life to Christ you surrender everything - in theory. The hard part of Christianity is leaving behind the desires we leave behind.
