This song by Chris Tomlin was sung.  I was overwhelmed by the deep faith that I saw in those whose trials where so huge in comparison to mine.  Behind my sat a lady, fighting breast cancer.  Soon she will be going in to start her chemotherpy.  Her children sat beside her, singing this song.  Then I saw another friend, crying, having lost loved ones this week.  As I sat in church, my friends were by the bedside of their mom, waiting for her to take her last breath.<\/p>\n<p>As I sat there, thinking of my burdens, they seems so small in comparison.  I so often think of the story of Job.  I am not sure I would have had that kind of faith.  I get so frustrated and mad.  I admired those around me that have that kind of faith.  I used to have.  I am working at growing my mustard seed of faith.  Church today, I heard a sermon, yet it was one that was totally different than the one the preacher was giving.<\/p>\n<p>I am grateful for all the blessing in my life.  I am so grateful.  Those blessings include my beautiful family, who inspire me everyday to be the best that I can be.  Those blessings included a cup that overflows with friends near and far, who I love so much.  Those blessings include my community, church and school.  I could keep going but I know you understand that God is so good.<\/p>\n<p>When the valleys come my way&#8230; again&#8230; I really hope and I can sing this song, hands held high and KNOW that God is so GREAT and Worthy of Praise&#8230;. even when I am in the valley!<\/p>\n<p>Dear Jesus,<br \/>Today, I pray for my friends, You know, those that are in those dark valleys&#8230;  please Lord, give them courage, strength and hope.  May they feel Your love surrounding them.  How I love you.  Thank you for being the God that is SO GREAT!<br \/>Amen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today at church, I was moved by the trails of those that I care about are going through.
