Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side. Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain...The tune came to me suddenly this evening when I was praying - I didn't even plan on praying... I had just finished bathing Bleeker (which was an ordeal), dried him off and was getting myself ready for bed; when this overwhelming feeling hit me.
I didn't know what to do or where the feeling had come from, but suddenly I found myself kneeling by my bed but then I didn't know what to say, so I started thanking my Heavenly Father for my friends and family and my dear little puppies that love me no matter what. And then this emotion came up again and I just started crying - I prayed for Travis and as I knelt there sobbing with relief and sadness, the song came to me.
I know my Heavenly Father loves me. I know he knows me. I am so grateful for the unexpected humility I felt tonight and for the chance to express my heart to the one person who understands it the best. What a beautiful life this really is, and I am so grateful for the prompting. I have never been brought to my knees like that before, but it was exactly what I needed to do.
