Stars in the Darkness

By Survivingana @survivingana

I can’t even begin to describe this week, never mind even post a small bit about it. It has been a very hard few days on all of us. So instead of putting any of that into words, I decided the best thing I can do is count my blessings. My gratitude list. My stars in the darkness list. Focus on the small things, the things that will get us through.

  • The sun comes up each morning
  • I am blessed and surrounded by supportive friends
  • Help is never far away
  • Forgiveness is real and can be freely given to others
  • Sophie has finished her HSC!!!!!
  • She is getting in touch with deeper feelings about her dad
  • Will is not great, but managing
  • We have a new medication plan for him
  • He is starting to express more of his feelings
  • We are blessed to have such a caring professional medical team around us
  • Prayer and support from all areas
  • Again I have been given an album that musically holds me – this time it is Hillsong’s “Glorious Ruins”.

He Never Fails

When waters rise all around me
When mountains stand in the path I see
I look to love that’s unfailing
I look to grace that is all I need

For there is no one like our God
There’s no one like our God
There’s nothing that can stand against You
There’s no stronghold You can’t break
No life that You can’t save
Our God You never fail

Your light will shine through the darkness
Your word will calm every crashing wave
My hope it lies in Your promise
My faith it stands on the empty grave

For there is no one like our God
There’s no one like our God
There’s nothing that can stand against You
There’s no stronghold You can’t break
No life that You can’t save
Our God You never fail
