30 days of {truth} (3)
Tonight, I’m playing a little catch up on the 30 days of {truth} challenge.
Day 13: A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough days.
Welp… the tough days are definetly here right now and I’ve been listening a lot to ‘Your Hands’ by JJ Heller and Mumford and Sons (especially ‘After the Storm’).
Day 14: A hero that has let you down.
This might be a little controversial, not because I’m trying to be…I really hope it’s not. I actually looked up the definition and to “let someone down” means to “fail to support”. So I am going to change it up a little bit because my hero hasn’t let me down but has disappointed me.
So…”A hero that has disappointed you”
Here is the my {truth}.
The hero who has disappointed me is my God. Let me first say, He is my hero still. He will always be my saviour and my hero forevermore. But the {truth} is that sometimes I feel so disappointed by Him.
Right now I feel so disappointed that my Eisley-girl isn’t here in my arms. That her little heart stopped beating. I am disappointed that the healing I prayed so deeply for, didn’t happen in the way I hoped it would. I feel disappointed that I don’t get to see her smile, hear her laugh, feel her kisses, etc.
I’m deeply disappointed and He’s knows this, He’s heard my cries. Thankfully He can handle hearing my cries of confusion, of anger and of disappointment.
He disappoints sometimes, in the things I hope for, but He’s never let me go. He’s never even “let me down” and “failed to support” me.
One of the things I have learned throughout everything we’ve gone through with Eisley (not saying He did this to teach me a lesson), something that before I never understood, is that even in our deepest sorrow and disappointment He is still trustworthy.
I believe, even with my broken heart, that this is the {truth}.
Father, You are still trustworthy.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Cor. 14:16-18
jami. there is nothing farther from controversial than what you wrote. your willingness to be vulnerable and real is so encouraging. you have neither forsaken the truth you know in your head from the reality of truth in your heart. and you let them both exist. which is very courageous. don’t let anyone tell you that you need to choose one. God sure isnt asking that!
i love what you wrote… “let them both exist”… God isn’t asking me to choose one, you’re so right. thanks friend.
Your willingness to speak truth is a blessing to me.

You are an amazing young woman. Your openess to express yourself is such a blessing to so many. You are so willing to express your deep feelings which is good to get them out. You will see sunshine again, just keeping climbing the mountain.

love you too sweet friend
