Come As You Are

Well, I barely slept last night and I ate ALL the ice cream ...

...but today everything was good. The doctor is still a little concerned about a couple things, but we are just going to keep an eye on those for a few weeks and then come back and repeat the test then. So it was good.

I cannot say thank you enough for the texts, calls and  messages I got. You guys are amazing. I am so very grateful to have you fighting in our corner.

I found myself thinking a lot today about the goodness of God. Even when it's hard, even when things don't go my way ... do I really still believe he is good?

If the test today had been high and I found myself facing putting needles in my 15 month old on a daily basis, would he still be good?

If the MRI is fine, and we are still dealing with a rapid dementia, is he still good?

He is. I know he is. I have to believe he is.

So tonight I'm grateful for his love. I'm grateful for his mercy. I'm grateful for his goodness. I'm grateful that I can come to him with all my fears, my crazy, neurotic self and he offers rescue and mercy for my broken heart.

This has been on repeat in my head all day, so I wanted to share.

Come As You Are 

Crowder 

Come out of sadness from wherever you've been 

Come broken hearted let rescue begin

Come find your mercy

On sinner, come kneel 

Earth has no sorrow 

That Heaven can't heal

So, lay down your burdens

Lay down your shame

All who are broken

Lift up your face 

Oh wanderer, come home

You're not too far

So lay down your hurt 

Lay down your heart

 Come as you are

There's hope for the hopeless

And all those who've strayed

Come sit at the table

Come taste the grace

There's rest for the weary

Rest that endures

Earth has no sorrow 

That heaven can't cure 

Come as you are

Fall in His arms

Come as you are

There's joy for the morning

Oh sinner, be still 

Earth has no sorrow 

That heaven can't heal
