Life is Unfair

Well, what can I say.  Life is unfair and it is hard sometimes to see what happens and be okay with it.    Those who do wrong seem to win over and over again and those who are hurt keep getting hurt.

We cry where is justice and no one seems to hear.  Or you can’t afford to make justice happen. 

Just when you think things are going a little more smoothly, something else happens and those old feelings come up and you just don’t know where to go with them or how to deal with them.  You would rather scream at someone and do something about it.  But that isn’t necessarily the right response. 

Knowing people are watching to see how you handle things makes it hard because sometimes you just are mad about it and want to say whatever comes to mind to others. 

God give me the strength to go through these times still glorifying you even when I don’t feel like it.  Help me hold on.  And when I can’t hold on, hold on to me and let me feel that you are holding onto me.

Will not be Moved

Filed under: Uncategorized — by pattisherman @ 4:19 am

This is one of my favorite songs right now.  It is by Natalie Grant.  I am going to try to upload it but in case it doesn’t work you can google Natalie Grant Will not be Moved and listen to it.

I have been the wayward child
I have acted out
I have questioned Sovereignty
And had my share of doubt
And though sometimes my
prayers feel like
They’re bouncing off the sky
The hand I hold won’t let me go
And is the reason why…

[ Chorus: ]
I will stumble
I will fall down
But I will not be moved
I will make mistakes
I will face heartache
But I will not be moved
On Christ the Solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
I will not be moved

Bitterness has plagued my heart
Many times before
My life has been like broken glass
And I have kept the score
Of all my shattered dreams
and though it seemed
That I was far too gone
My brokenness helped me to see
It’s grace I’m standing on

[ Chorus ]

And the chaos in my life
Has been a badge I’ve worn
Though I have been torn
I will not be moved

[ Chorus ]
