this too...shall pass

Who can fathom or plumb the depths of a heart...
no one...none..except for You, Lord
And to your plumbline, all must take its form...
So there must be...seasons of...
Autumn, Winter, Spring to Glorious Summer!

Let's go on a journey...

I know i've mentioned this before,
but...reading their story once again...
reminds me of the blessedness

...of being entrusted with pain...

And it also shows me a faith refined,
in private, and also in the public eye...
If we Love deeply...
this will stir our hearts much...
but journey with me if you will...
plumb the depths of your own heart...
for in there, you will find...
God has never left you,
He longs to draw us near...

The story of Maria Sue Chapman,
age 5 when called home to be with the Lord,
& the story of a family who grieved,
yet...chose to use their story to share...
Hope, Love, Faith...in the midst of their pain.

"We can cry with Hope...'goodbye' is not the end..."

And this beautiful song, written by her father...
Steven Curtis Chapman...singer/songwriter,
about how he sees heaven in her...thru her...
A song of that expresses his grief, yet also..his Hope

There's a "live" version of this song...
done with the Jonas brothers...
but it was spoilt by some insensitive fans,
who were shouting for the Jonas brothers,
even as Steven was explaining the pain of the song...
this really...spoilt the moment, made it harder to stomach...

so...here's the studio version...



On to Spring...





And...Summer comes...
