I needed to take some time to regroup from all the VBS activities and, well just from trying to get through each day. In the middle of all of that, more fuel was thrown onto the fire that my family has been walking through.It is not my story to tell so I will keep it private. But is has had a huge impact on my family. All I will say is that I am still trusting God to take care of ALL of this. While in the middle of this crisis(a dramatic emotional or circumstantial upheaval in a person's life), I went into the pretty room to put back a dvd that Robin and Dakota had "borrowed" from Rach. I went to set it on the stack of the others and I noticed what was on the top. It said " Strong Enough". I thought it was also a dvd, so I went to put it in my computer . While I was looking at it, I realized it was a cd. It was actually an accompaniment cd. What I was holding was the song my Rach never got to sing. The words to this song fit so perfectly to everything we were going through . Just when I thought I had found all there is to find... God gave me this...
As I rest against this cold, hard wall
Will you pass me by?
Will you criticize me as I sit and cry?
I had fought so hard and thought that all my battles had been won
Only to find the war has just begun
Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out, and start again
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance on me
Please can I have one chance to start again?
Will my weakness for an hour make me suffer for a lifetime?
Is there anyway to be made whole again?
If I'm healed,renewed, and find forgiveness find the strength I've never had
Will my scars forever ruin all God's plan?
Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out, and start again
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance on me
Please can I have one chance to start again?
He took my life into his hands and it turned it all around
In my most desperate circumstance
It's there I've finally found
That You are strong enough
That You are pure enough
To break me, pour me out and start again
That You are brave enough
To take one chance on me
Oh Thank You for my chance to start again.

Oh My Gosh!!! God continues to show us all that He is not done with you or any of us, & proves we will ALWAYS find Him faithful to be there when we need Him to restore our faith & strength. I will share with you that as I read that beautiful song what I felt was this... (as the song stated) Rachel has been healed, renewed, & found eternal forgiveness with her (our) Heavenly Father..& i thought, God went before you, & used Rach to have this blessing waiting for that Perfect Divine moment to be discovered,like this refreshing drink of Living Water for a thirsty soul, & i thought, Suzette THIS IS YOUR SONG..your love letter..your promise..your hope..that God IS the ONE that is Strong, Pure, & Brave enough to help you start again & make you whole again. He will continue to carry you in His hands (just like the suprise blessing of the cd)when you least expect it (like the song says)He will turn it all around. I believe God had Rach buy that cd,not for her to sing, but for YOU to sing in your heart everyday & be reminded of His Goodness, His Promises, His Hope, His Love, His Perfect Plan, & of course Rachel's eternal love & presence in your life. I know you have felt broken so many times & the world wants everyone to believe when we break,thats it!!! But by our faith we know the truth! You are a walking testiment to our Lord Jesus Christ power to be able to use that brokeness to pour you out (like you do in this blog so honestly) and allow Him to continually help you start again & that impacts so many people around you or who read this blog, to trust, believe, & put their hope in God DAILY. Thank you so much for using your journey to strengthen all of us in our own, & finding purpose through your pain. May you find favor, comfort, & blessings beyond your imagination. I pray it was ok to share my heart to you on here & may your heart sing & be full forever, all my love, C :D
