My Rock

Somewhere along the road of life my Rock changed.  In my time of need I would go to my Rock-my Mom.  In 2010 I was so confused because my rock was frail and crumbled in December 2010.  In January 2011, Danny found a pea sized lump in his chest.  That was the beginning of me finding the real Rock; The rock that Mommy went to when I went to her.  He was the same then for me as He was for her and will be forever.

Hebrews 13:8

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever

That Rock never changes.

Deuteronomy 33:27

The eternal God is thy refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms.

When he first found that little tiny knot I prayed to God- my Rock.

Psalm 18:31

For who is God besides the Lord?  And who is the Rock except our God?

As the mass grew so did my prayers.  I always knew in my heart what the doctors didn’t tell me!  There is nothing sadder than watching someone you love go through so much and knowing you can’t do anything to help them.

1 Samuel 2:2

There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.

As I look back at the last 2 years, I wonder how I have survived to be 47 almost 48?  I thank god every day for the relationship I now have with my Savior.  I can feel Him near me when I worry about anything.  From the biggest things all the way down to the tiny everyday things. I hear him say, just give it to me!  Don’t worry anymore!

Psalm 34:17

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles.

Psalm 34:4

I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears!

God is good….sooooo good!  We sometimes forget to give Him all the praise He is so worthy of.  Sunday morning I had an overwhelming peace that nothing mattered except what would be in the end for Jesus Christ; That day when we will go to Heaven if we have accepted Him as Lord and Savior.  I see my life changing every day.  As I pick up the pieces of my life and move on I can’t help but be reminded of how faithful my Mom was to her Rock and I know she had to have picked up fragments many times throughout her life.

Hebrews 10:36

You must hold on, so you can do what God wants and receive what He has promised.

Next month will be 3 years that Mommy has gone on.  It was 3 years in March that Daddy went and Danny has been gone 15 months and 3 days.  I know God has many things for me to do; I just have to trust in Him to get them done.  Do I get scared?  Yes!  Do I do it anyway?  Yes!  Sometimes it doesn’t make sense to me!  I don’t understand it and yes, it hurts!  But I trust in the Lord, because He has been constant, faithful and never failing.

Isaiah 26:4

Trust in the Lord forever for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock.

My friend if you are struggling with health, marriage, relationships, grief, addiction-it doesn’t matter what!  Just know that the same God, who has delivered me, will deliver you!  We all have trials and tribulations here on earth, that’s part of life, and that is what helps us grow. But we have to turn too God and not away from HIM!  Because that’s where our strength will come from!

Psalm 18:2

The Lord is my Rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God is my Rock in whom I take my refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
