I love that song: Graves into gardens. I’ll put the links later in the post. But it perfectly describes where I am at lately.
Well technically I’m in a flare and I can barely do anything – but spiritually? I’ve never felt such peace. This grave has finally become a garden
Last year this time when I would go into a flare? I would get bitter and angry towards my family. I would concentrate on their selfishness and how they wronged me.
Then I finally realized my ministry. Now? I find joy in the little things.
Video games with my kids
Giggling with my husband over silly things
Cleaning dishes 3xs a day
Ministering to my husband as he recovers from surgery.
Vacuuming
Helping my child with a learning disability understand math.
Thank you Lord for your awesomeness and your love.
Once I stopped concentrating on what the world can give me and on what I can give? Man. The peace and joy
searched the world
But it couldn’t fill me
Man’s empty praise
And treasures that fade
Are never enough
Then You came along
And put me back together
And every desire
Is now satisfied
Here in Your love (hey)
Oh, there’s nothing better than You
There’s nothing better than You
Lord, there’s nothing
Nothing is better than You
I’m not afraid
To show You my weakness
My failures and flaws
Lord, You’ve seen ’em all
And You still call me friend
‘Cause the God of the mountain
Is the God of the valley
There’s not a place
Your mercy and grace
Won’t find me again
Oh, there’s nothing better than You
There’s nothing better than You
Lord, there’s nothing
Nothing is better than You
Oh, there’s nothing better than You
There’s nothing better than You
Lord, there’s nothing
Nothing is better than You
You turn mourning to dancing
You give beauty for ashes
You turn shame into glory
You’re the only one who can
You turn mourning to dancing
You give beauty for ashes
You turn shame into glory
You’re the only one who can
You turn graves into garden
You turn bones into armies
You turn seas into highways
You’re the only one who can
You’re the only one who can
Oh, there’s nothing better than You
There’s nothing better than You
Lord, there’s nothing
Nothing is better than You
Oh, there’s nothing better than You
There’s nothing better than You
Lord, there’s nothing
Nothing is better than You
You turn graves into gardens
You turn bones into armies
You turn seas into highways
You’re the only one who can
You turn graves into gardens
You turn bones into armies
You turn seas into highways
You’re the only one who can
You’re the only one who can
You’re the only one who can
