He Is With Us

I love life! Can I just let you know that! And I hope that you are able to find the things in your own life that make it unique, exciting, challenging, and beautiful. I am thankful to God for giving me so many amazing possibilities in my life. My own unique music to play here on earth, filled with friends, family, hardships, and times of complete joy.

I was talking with my good friend Dana yesterday about a senario of life if it was given to us what to do and say. At times it might seem like the 'easier' road, but not the best. We concluded that life as it is given to us now allows for freedom, joy, excitement, anticipation, an ability to act for oneself, to be sincere and smile. Really, life is a a journey to be created and enjoyed.

I know that God loves us. He does nothing save it be for our benefit! (Book of Mormon pg... 103-English). He is there to see us through any moment of our lives, whether we notice or not. We may not even recognize that he was there until after the fact. Below are lyrics to a beautiful song "My Kindness Shall Not Depart From Thee" by Rob Gardner. Read the words and listen to the clip underneath. I hope you enjoy and feel that God is really there watching after you. 

For a little while
Have I forsaken thee;
But with great mercies will I gather thee.
In a little wrath I hid my face from thee
For a moment.

But with everlasting kindness will I gather thee,
And with mercy will I take thee ‘neath my wings,
For the mountains shall depart,

And the hills shall be removed,
And the valleys shall be lost beneath the sea,
But know, my child,
My kindness shall not depart from thee!

Though thine afflictions seem
At times too great to bear,
I know thine every thought and every care.
And though the very jaws
Of hell gape after thee I am with thee.

And with everlasting mercy will I succor thee,
And with healing will I take thee ‘neath my wings.
Though the mountains shall depart,
And the hills shall be removed,

And the valleys shall be lost beneath the sea,
Know, my child,
My kindness shall not depart from thee!

How long can rolling waters
Remain impure?
What pow’r shall stay the hand of God?
The Son of Man hath descended below all things.
Art thou greater than He?

So hold on thy way,
For I shall be with thee.
And mine angels shall encircle thee.
Doubt not what thou knowest,
Fear not man, for he
Cannot hurt thee.

And with everlasting kindness will I succor thee,
And with mercy will I take thee ‘neath my wings.
For the mountains shall depart,
And the hills shall be removed,
And the valleys shall be lost beneath the sea,
But know, my child,

My kindness shall not depart from thee!
My kindness shall not depart from thee!
