Our Hope Endures

I took the kids to the park the other day, it is by the beach. They just couldn't resist playing in the sand, even though it is not quite warm enough yet to play in the lake. I did let them check the water temperature by wading in with their bare feet. They can't wait for it to be warm enough to go swimming!

I have been enjoying a new CD that I bought last week, it is Natalie Grant's Relentless CD.
This Song really touched my heart yesterday as I was thinking about the impending first mother's day without my mom, and also 4 months since court for Kaydee and still no news. But, my hope will endure!

Our hope endures
by Natalie Grant

You would think that only so much could go wrong.
Calamity only strikes once
And you think this one has suffered her share
Life will be kinder from here

chorus:
Sometimes the sun stays hidden for years
Sometimes the sky rains night after night
When will it clear?
But our hope endures
The worst of conditions
It's more that our optimism
Let the earth quake
Our hope is unchanged

How do we comprehend peace within pain?
or joy at a good man's wake?
Walk a mile with the woman whose body is torn
with illness, but she marches on?

Chorus:
Oh 'cause
Sometimes the sun stays hidden for years
Sometimes the sky rains night after night
When will it clear?
But our hope endures
The worst of conditions
It's more than our optimism
Let the earth quake
Our hope is unchanged

Emmanuel God is with us!
El Shaddai, all sufficient!
We never walk alone
This is our hope
But our hope endures the worst of conditions
It's more than optimism
Let the earth quake
Our hope is unchanged

Blessings,
Angie
