Faithfulness

Today in church we sang, "Great is Thy Faithfulness." Lines from that song were constantly running through my head while Mama was in the hospital after her accident. In particular, I clung to the promise of "strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow - blessings all mine and ten thousand beside! Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!"

Singing those words today, I was reminded of how true they are. God is so faithful. I see that just as clearly today as I did after April 21st. God has proven His faithfulness to me over and over in the past eight months. He brought us amazing home health care through people like Buffy. He provided amazing women to sit with Mama when I started my internship. He healed and, I believe, is continuing to heal Mama. He gave me supportive friends at school to help me transition back to life in college. He used me even in my brokenness to minister to others (Jesus is not afraid to take our sin and mess and use it for His glory!). He provided a counselor to talk me through all I had been through over the the summer. He is my strength when I am weak. He is the stronghold of my life. He moves me and shapes me even when I am wandering. He never gives up on me.

It amazes me to realize some of these things. I am so not worthy of His faithfulness, except that He loves me. That is the hope that I cling to. Even in my darkest moments, I can say with confidence, "God is faithful."
