In The Dark Nights

Image
The other night, in order to fight my anxious thoughts, I went through my iPod and made a new playlist. I found songs that have been my favorites throughout these past several years. I named the playlist "Karen's sleep", intending for it to help me fall asleep at night. Turns out, I don't just listen to it in the midnight hour when sleep evades, I like it in the daytime too. All of these songs point me to Jesus and bring peace to my soul. As the songs play, memories flood my mind.  Each song reminds me of the past... times when God seemed near, and times when it was just a downright hard night of the soul. It's really like a trip down memory lane -- The good times and the bad. One thing rings true as I listen to these songs... My God has shown Himself faithful through all of it! I maybe couldn't see His faithfulness in the moment... but looking back, I can see that He has given me grace for every trial... and has loved me... and has held me up.
