God's Hearbeat

Sometimes I feel discouraged and I cannot understand,

 

The way the Father leads me, the way that He has planned.  

 

But You know best, O Lord, so draw me close to Thee,

 

That I may feel Thy heartbeat, bringing life to me.

 

The heartbeat of God means life and light to me;

 

I don't want to be in doubt and troubled misery.  

 

So draw me closer, Father up above, 

 

 That I may always feel Your heartbeat of love.

"Heartbeat of God" by Mrs. Rita Schmidt 

My Uncle Nate died in our home this week of liver cancer (more back here).  The funeral was Tuesday and since then we've been trying to establish a new "normal" around here.  Life is crazy.  It's hard for me to believe it's only been two months since Nate moved in with us.  So much has happened, yet it all went by like a breeze. 

God's been building my faith and strengthening my trust... and blessing me over and over again through people around me who really care.  Text messages and emails with simple words like "praying!",  cards and words of blessing and encouragement, awesome friends who came to be with us at the viewing, smiley cookies, a rose in my bedroom when I came home, clean sheets, a mowed lawn, a cleaned house... all these thoughtful, loving blessings are the heartbeat of God to me. 

Thank you, guys, for helping me feel God's heartbeat.  Your support, prayers, and encouragement have meant more than you know.
