Watching movies and reading books always affect me. Right now I am reading A Picture of Hollis Woods and I just finished watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Both things made me think about how events can make life seem impossible to deal with, but life just keeps going.
It is my hope that the brokenness experienced in life doesn't contribute to the shadows of life, but reminds me that there is a loving God. The shadows only exist because of the light of life coming from God.
I don't know if this will ever be seen by other people, it is so hard to capture thoughts and feelings in writing. This is good to do just for me.
Faith To Be Strong from "Carried Along"
Words by Andrew Peterson
Give us faith to be strong
Father, we are so weak
Our bodies are fragile and weary
As we stagger and stumble to walk where you lead
Give us faith to be strong
Give us faith to be strong
Give us strength to be faithful
This life is not long, but it's hard
Give us grace to go on
Make us willing and able
Lord, give us faith to be strong
Give us peace when we're torn
Mend us up when we break
This flesh can be wounded and shaking
When there's much too much trouble for one heart to take
Give us peace when we're torn
Give us faith to be strong
Give us strength to be faithful
This life is not long, but it's hard
Give us grace to go on
Make us willing and able
Lord, give us faith to be strong
Give us hearts to find hope
Father, we cannot see
How the sorrow we feel can bring freedom
And as hard as we try, Lord, it's hard to believe
So, give us hearts to find hope
Give us faith to be strong
Give us strength to be faithful
This life is not long, but it's hard
Give us grace to go on
Make us willing and able
Lord, give us faith to be strong
Give us peace when we're torn
Give us faith, faith to be strong
