It’s been a really tough week thus far with the latest stress being the 8 hours I spent with Daniel in the pediatric ER at UCD Medical Center today. I was going to do a list of things not to say to a person suffering with severe depression but I decided on music instead.
“Worn” by Tenth Avenue North. The lyrics are so incredibly accurate.
“Hold Me Jesus” by Rich Mullins. This was actually the first song that came on when I turned my mix CD on this morning on the way up to Sacramento. Serious God moment there.
“The Warrior is a Child” by Twila Paris. It’s the song I want to direct people to when they tell me how amazing I am as a mom and how strong I am… because I’m not.
“Where He Leads Me” by Twila Paris. I’m being led through a valley that is getting a bit scary and I’m struggling to trust.
“If I Stand” by Rich Mullins. Because the strength with which I stand is not my own.
“Just Be Held” by Casting Crowns. A reminder that God has my back.
“This Is My Father’s World” by Fernando Ortega. A reminder that this is not all about me and that evil hasn’t won.
