you have turned my mourning into dancing /// psalms 30:11
I have heard this verse a thousand times. I have sang the song. I have used this verse to comfort others. But the other day I felt God slightly tug at my heart with this verse. You see, a while back I had a season of mourning, a season of tears, a season of hurt, and loss. I never once questioned God about my situation ... but I trusted that he would turn my mourning in to dancing.
My dancing came in the form of my youngest daughter, Lyla.
my sweet lyla girl.
She is such a joy. Her joy is infections and contagious. The simple fact is if things had gone the way I had wanted them to, I wouldn't have her. End of story. I took me a while to see the joy after the sorrow, but I see it very clearly now. So thankful today for Gods presence in my life, and for his hand over situations I sometimes can't understand, and more importantly for turning my mourning into dancing.
I needed this so much today. Thank you! It is a great reminder, that even though we may not understand---His plans are far better than we could imagine! What a blessing He gave you...and it makes me so so encouraged! Thank you!
Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!!!
