Today's the Day!

My soul sings. 3.5 years ago they stole our lives from us, they held on tight to our hearts, and they didn't let go. I am overwhelmed with happiness. 3 years of heartache, confusion and uncertainty will give way to singing hearts, joy and certainty. They will be ours. Ours forever and ever and ever. Their last names will be change to the same as mine, my dad's, my mom's, and my siblings.

Jesus, thank You. You are the one who orchestrated this whole mess. You are the One when we felt unsure and afraid, You conducted, You knew. Thank You, Jesus. You knew the whole story from beginning to end. You wrote the words. You knew. You brought tears, you saw the pain. You brought the laughter, You saw the faces. Faces filled with You, filled with smiles because of Your goodness, grace, love and beauty. You knew. These smiles were here to stay. You bring joy when the sun rises each morning. When we saw the sloppy damages done, You saw the healing to come.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. You bring a song from my heart. You bring gladness. Oh, Jesus, no words can explain how good You are. Thank you, Jesus. No praise will ever be enough. You knew. You knew that while our todays were awful, filled with injustice and full of tears, tomorrow was new. Tomorrow was good. Tomorrow our hearts would sing again, sing of the God who saves. Tomorrow the lonely would be set in families who adored them. Oh, Jesus, to know You knew.
