He will carry you

View from the top of the lighthouse!

A couple months ago we took another walk to the lighthouse.  It was our 2nd walk on this beach, and this time was a little more relaxed than the previous try.  It was another perfectly blue day and another wonderful day to gaze across miles of water and listen to crashing waves.  I love the sound of natural sources of water.

Johannah impersonating a whale...or a seal.  I can't remember which. 

Now rather unrelated to the beach walk (I had to sneak in the pictures somewhere at some point!), "I will carry you" is a song that has come up on Pandora quite a few times in the past month.  Somehow it always catches my attention.  The chorus particularly speaks to me because some days I need to be reminded that God promises to carry me, to be my strength, to pull me through whatever hard things are in my life.  At this point in my life I guess I can just relate to these words and have found encouragement through this song.  

Whatever is going in your life today--this week--whatever hard things you are facing, God will carry you. Each one of us has reason.  When it seems hopeless and lonely, I, too, have to keep telling myself that I wasn't meant to walk this road alone and I must again reach out for Him to pull me through.

Sometimes I wonder if my beating heart has a reason

The thought of breathing only takes my breath away

I've spent so many nights wrestling with this feeling

Do I have the strength to make it through the day

But I was never meant

To walk this road alone

I can always trust you

When you say

I will carry you

Be your strength

And pull you through.

Reach for me

And take my hand;

We will pray

And we will stand

In a world

Crying out for peace.

Let your heart be strong,

For when I am weak

You will carry me

Sometimes you wonder if the road you're on has a reason

It's hard to go on when you just don't know

We can shoulder all the weight of life between us

Until the fear of what we cannot see is gone

Cause we were never meant

To walk this road alone

We are bound together

When we say:

I will carry you

Be your strength

And pull you through.

Reach for me

And take my hand;

We will pray

And we will stand

In a world

Crying out for peace.

Let your heart be strong,

For when I am weak

You will carry me
