"You Never Let Go"

Though we've never written directly about our infertility on our blog, most of our friends and family know that we have been struggling to have a baby for over 2 years. For a number of reasons, October is an especially hard month for us in this process, though we had a powerful morning at church today. We both feel overwhelmingly blessed to be a part of such a loving & supportive church family.

During this morning's services, our pastor, Brandon, took time for people to pray for those who are struggling. Since I was singing at church this weekend, I was in both services today, and I was absolutely overwhelmed that sweet friends of ours came to lay hands on us and pray during both morning services. It was such a precious time. Though our burden is heavy, it is such a blessing when others share it with us. After the time of prayer, we all sang the song, "You Never Let Go," which has become so meaningful to us during our journey. These words are our hope and prayer during this time of waiting.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I’m caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won’t turn back, I know You are near

And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?

Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me

And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We’ll live to know You here on the earth

Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You
