31 for 21:4

I don’t talk much about my faith in God, but yes, I am a Christian.  Not to say, that I haven’t had many disagreements with him, but he has always led me out of my darkest hour.  Through him, I see hope.

Anyway…

Tonight, on my way home from bible study, I had a few ideas running through my mind for my blog post tonight…until I heard the lyrics to the song “Lead Me” by Sanctus Real.  Although, I’ve heard this song many times, for some reason, this one particular verse just stood out:

I see their faces, look in their innocent eyes
They're just children from the outside
I'm working hard, I tell myself they'll be fine
They're in independent
But on the inside, I can hear them saying...

Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, but what about us?

Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone

So Father, give me the strength
To be everything I'm called to be
Father, show me the way
To lead them
Won't You lead me?

I love all three of my children.  And I truly hope that they know how much I love them and that I’m willing to fight.  But when it comes to Lillian, the fight is more fierce.  I need to know that she will have the future that soon she will dream of.  So, yes, I want to lead her with strong hands…but will you?

I want to stand up when she can’t…but will you?

If you actually took the time to read this much of my blog, then I’m hoping that you will be that person to stand up for her and lead her when she needs it.  When her friends need it.  There is only so much a mother can do for a child, but a whole village can do so much more!  And I just know that my faith in God won’t let me down.  I know that he will lead me…like some reason you were led here, to my blog.
