If You Want Me To

Ginny Owens :: If You Want Me To from andy4qts on GodTube.



Jason and I talked tonight about some of things we have been through in the last 5 years and what they have done to us.  While we would not have chosen the paths God has led us down, we have experienced Him in ways we would not otherwise have had the opportunity to through our trials. 

I was telling my husband at dinner that I am having trouble letting go of how I wanted Reese's birth to be.  I wanted her to be completely healthy. I wanted to enjoy our nice big room in the Birth Place instead of trekking to the NICU every free moment.  I wanted to go home.  I wanted that picture-perfect moment where she got to meet Harper for the first time.  I didn't get any of that. And I'm sad about it.

Jason responded in a way that put things back into perspective for me.  He said that if things had gone that smoothly, we wouldn't have had the chance to rely completely on God.  Wow.  It might take me awhile to get to the point where I am grateful for this particular trial, but I am getting to a place where I am OK with it. 

I came across this song by Ginny Owens several years ago, and I play it often.  I think it captures how we ought to approach the valleys in our lives, and I strive to make it my song, too.  I hope you enjoy it.
