Live...Laugh...Love - You're Not Shaken

You're Not Shaken

I am sinking in a river that is raging
I am drowning, will I ever rise to breathe again
I want to know why I just want to understand
Will I ever know why

How could this be from Your hand
When every little thing that I have dreamed would be
Just slips away like water through my hand
And when it seems the walls of my belief are crashing down

Like they're all made of sand
I won't let go of You now, because I know You're not shaken
I'm trembling in the darkness of my own fear
All the questions with no answers still grip me while

I'm here And I may never know why I may not understand
But I will lift up my eyes And trust this is Your plan
When I am in the valley of the shadow of death
You're not shaken, You're not shaken

You're right here beside me and
You have never left
You're not shaken, You're not shaken

I really love this song by Phil Stacey! It is such a great reminder that we arent in controll of our lives, the one who gave us life is. A couple of weeks ago I was having a conversation with someone I babysitt for. I asked her if she wanted to have boys first and then a girl. She said that she did have a desire to have a little girl, but even though she had that desire God put a bigger desire in her heart for the little boy growing inside of her. But then she said, "after having two boys, when I found out I was pregnant again I really wanted a girl and instead of begging God and pleading Him that this child was a girl, I asked God that he would change the desires of my heart to allign with the plans He has for me." I have never thought of it that way before, we need to let go of our desires and dreams and let God change them into what He has planned for our lives! Jeremiah 29:11 reads: For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. It is so amazing that our God gives us insurance and hope that He has it all in control and planned out. Another one of my favorite verses is Jeremiah 1:5 which says: I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.
