So, I just got off the phone with my sister. She had planned this great trip to Europe for the past couple of years. It was cut short when the person she was traveling with felt a need to go home. I talked to her for quite a while and it hurt to hear her pain. I just wanted to fix it! I wanted to say, "Hey- meet me in Chicago and we'll just fly back together and I'll finish that trip with you!" There is just that little financial issue that gets in my way. :-/ I can't fix this for her, but as we were talking we got into a discussion about how God has all these amazing plans and sometimes it takes us on this detour, that not only do we not expect, but it hits us upside the head and HURTS! Why? Who knows why God brought Pam back home 1/2 way through her trip. I do know though, that he has a plan. I can't "fix it". I can't pick up all those little pieces and put them all together, but God can.
Royal Tailor is a new group for me. They have a great sound! Hold Me Together is just a catchy little tune that sticks in your head. That's not a bad thing since it's a good reminder that YES, He can hold us together - pretty sure He's the only thing that can. Life can hit us upside the head, and it hurts and it can shatter us. He'll hold you together though, through any storm!
What I loved about my sister's story, was through those tears and frustrations she found a blessing in the man at the hotel. Just one man, who saw her pain and not only helped her make all her arrangements back but lifted her spirits with his kindness and a cup of morning coffee. :)
Here's Hold Me Together by Royal Tailor. Warning - you'll be humming it all day!
