You are for me

Blog post

Since being here there have been some amazing days and some hard days.  For some reason after coming here I was introduced to a song we had on our Itunes all along but I have never sat down and listened to it.  The girls and I have quiet a few “ballet classes” a week where I put on some ballet type music and they dance around.  Fortunately I didn’t load any real ballet music so we put on our worship songs and dance around.  There is one in particular that has stood out to me every time it is played.  Hannah knows every word now and it is her favorite song to dance to.  One day I sat and just wrote out the words for myself to meditate on and now every time I hear it I am able to focus on Jesus and feel so blessed that I have a God that is for me.  He isn’t just for me when I am happy and content and comfortable in life but he is for me in a place I feel that everything is against me.   Some days I feel that the language, the weather, the snakes/scorpions, the awful things that are happening to the masaai girls, the loneliness, the children right out my door, dying of disease that could so easily be cured in the U.S.,  all of these things are too much but then I remember that God, the God of the universe that holds everything in His hands, MY GOD is for me!  He doesn’t want me to crumble when things look too hard.  I need a reminder all the time that God is for me.  This brings me sooo much peace and I hope if you are in a time of transition in your life or struggle that seems to big to overcome or even if you are in a great  place in your life that these words will just continue to confirm the truth that we know in our hearts that our God is for us.

 The song is by Kari Jobe and is called “You are for me”

So faithful, so constant, so loving and so true so powerful in all you do.

 You fill me, you see me, you know my every move, you love for me to sing to you.

  I know that you are for me. I know that you are for me.

 I know that you will never forsake me in my weakness and I know that you have come down even if to write upon my heart to remind me of who you are.   

 So patient, so gracious, so merciful and true so wonderful in all you do, you fill me, you see me, you know my every move you love for me to sing to you.

 I know that you are for me, I know that you are for me, I know that you will never forsake me in my weakness and I know that you have come down even if to write upon my heart to remind me of who you are
