It takes me to a very special place deep in my soul. It wasn't too long after my brother passed away. My son had just moved home after graduating from law school. He had passed The Bar in North Carolina but decided to come back to Michigan when he didn't find a job soon enough. I believe with all my heart that he wanted to be near his family and it was all part of God's plan.
I can't remember exactly how much time it took before he found his current job. At the time it felt like forever! It wasn't really all that long, but I will never forget him spending a lot of time downstairs alone, sending out resumes and searching for jobs. I was a little worried about him. Actually, I was very concerned about him, but knew his life was totally out of my control and it was up to God to help. As a mom who loves his child so much, I wanted to intervene with His plan. If you know my son, you know how driven he is and that it bothered him when things weren't happening quick enough. (He and I are both control freaks.) I never wanted him to know how worried I was, but it was exaggerated because at that time I had had not one, but several friends who had recently lost their close relatives because they took their lives. I thought about our own family and how many times we had close calls when they were down.
I love how a song can hit me to the core and at unexpected times. When I hear this one in particular I thank God for stepping in and proving once again that He is Faithful; He has everything handled; and He is good!
Bring Him Home by Josh Groban from Les Miserables
God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there
He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home
He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son.
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on
And I am old
And will be gone.
Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy
You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
I hope you take a moment today to think back to a time and remember a time when you needed God at a critical time and He proved He could be trusted.
"I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will consider all of your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds." -Psalm 77:11-12
Much Love, Peace and Joy,
