Steady my heart

A few days ago I ordered the new Kari Jobe CD and it came in the mail today. I love her and I love her music. The CD couldn't have come on a better day. This has been a stressful week and this morning I woke up ready to fight hard and see the good in every situation. By afternoon I was growing weary. Cerly is teething so she was a fussy mess all day, Brylee was up a lot with asthma so she was having breakdown after breakdown, and I just needed calm in the "storm" ya know. We all have storms, some big and some small, but we can all relate to storms of life.

Through all the chaos I saw the new CD sitting on the counter and immediately popped it in to play it. The very first song was called "Steady my heart." I knew it was going to be a good one just from the title and I was so right. I bet I listened to the chorus 20 times...

Even when it hurts, even when it's hard...

Even when it all just falls apart, I will run to you.

Cause I know that you are lover of my soul, healer of my scars...

you steady my heart, you steady my heart.

I find these words to be so true in my heart and life on a daily basis. Through all the chaos, exhaustion, confusion, and everything else there is only one thing that can steady my heart and that is the Lord. Nothing else can or will do it for me. I can try to run to every other thing or option that I can find but they are often temporary fixes to a much deeper issue.

I love how God works and I love that in the midst of my own chaos today He was able to remind me and teach me again that I need to run to Him alone and He will steady my heart.

I love the life that God has blessed me with....even when we are all a fussy mess!

And I would rock my fussy-teething baby all day long if I could.....

Let God steady your heart today...and stop running anywhere and everywhere else. He won't let you down.

Jeremiah 29:13

You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart.
