I got in the car the other day and heard an amazing song. Truth be told, I've probably heard it a million times before, but God made sure I really *heard* it this time.
When I got home, of course I searched for the YouTube video of it. It literally gave me (as Ben and Belle would say) chilly-bumps from the inside out.
It's easy to say we "believe" in God. It's something totally different to put complete faith in Him and have Him carry us through tough times in our lives. And sometimes, it's so very difficult. Sometimes it seems like we are being attacked from all different sides. Like stealth bombers are circling over our heads. Just when we thought they've disappeared, they emerge again and are both relentless and careless to what their bombs are doing.
But I do believe. I've been given too many first-hand examples not to believe. And, I have faith. And I am desperate for my kids to have faith in this life that can present challenges beyond belief.
This video is taken from the movie "Facing the Giants" which I'm embarassed to say I've owned for years and have never watched. I plan on changing that very soon.
It's easy to get caught up in the video. But the words to the song are beautiful. So listen to them. But when the coach puts the blindfold over his player's eyes, he says something to him that is so true and it shook me to the core. Literally. Faith is a blind truth.
And...Here's to "standing up".
