When Answers Aren’t Enough
As I write this from the hospital where my husband is, I have mixed emotions. First off, he is not as bad as he was, which means he is getting better. He is not jaundiced anymore, and now eating, and for that I am grateful.
But the levels in his liver and pancreas are still high and they have taken him off a medication that might be causing this. Suffice it to say that I’ve done a whole lot of waiting and gotten very little answers.
I know there are so many people praying for us and that is something I never can thank ya’ll enough for! We have felt those prayers and are so very blessed to have you as our friend.
I was sitting over by the elevators with my husband and I was humming something in my head as he talked with our children on the phone. It didn’t dawn on me what it was until I came to the chorus. Tears well up within me as I type it for you.
You have faced the mountains of desperation
You have climbed, you have fought,you have won
But this valley that lies coldly before you
Casts a shadow you cannot overcome
When answers aren’t enough, there is Jesus
He is more than just an answer to your prayer
And your heart will find a safe and peaceful refuge
When answers aren’t enough, He is there.
Instead of asking why did it happen
Think of where it can lead you from here
And as your pain is slowly easing, you can find a greater reason
To live your life triumphant through the tears.
When answers aren’t enough, there’s still Jesus
He is more than just an answer to your prayer
And your heart will find a safe and peaceful refuge
When answers aren’t enough, He is there.
When answers aren’t enough, He”s still there.
Sometimes we need that extra reminder…that even if we don’t have the answers, God does! And maybe His ways are not like ours, but that’s okay….our job is to trust and have faith. Even if there are not definitive answers, He is still on the throne.
I love ya’ll.
