The Other Side

       My cousin faces overwhelming obstacles. Have you ever been there? Pushed to the point of absolute, engulfing despair?
       I have.
       My heart bleeds for my cousin.
       BUT!
       I am now on the other side. I KNOW the goodness of my Papa God. I KNOW the absolute, unchanging love of my Papa God. I KNOW the unfailing faithfulness of my Papa God.
       My heart bleeds for my cousin BUT I anticipate her journey to THE OTHER SIDE


       I will praise you in the storm
       I will lift my hands
       You are who you are
       No matter where I am
       Every tear I cry
       You hold in your hand
       Though my heart is torn
       I will praise you in the storm.
                         Casting Crowns



Only a person who's been there can write such words. I know my Papa God loves my cousin every bit as much as he loves me and HE WILL SEE HER THROUGH THE STORM. God Rocks!!
