Faith Feeds Wholeness

I was listening to music on Spotify when I came across this song. JJ Heller's Braver Still 

Lately I've found that music has been feeding my soul, whether it's my connection to God or whatever is beyond us, I do not know. I encourage you to listen to the whole song because it is beautiful. The first verse really struck something inside me, so I'm sharing it.

"I never saw it coming
There was no way to prepare
The world kept spinning 'round me
And left me standing there
And it's okay to grieve
A life that could not be
I'm trying to believe
In something better"

This. This is everything. This is life.

You can only control so much. You can only plan so much. Now don't get me wrong, I still get bogged down with these notions because I'm only human. I have anxiety, I am a creature of habit. But it's the last two lines that remind me that belief or faith is critically important as well as action.

There is a lot that I can't control. But I can show up and be in community with others. Sing songs and maybe even do a dance ;), listen to the Gospel and be reminded of the lessons from Jesus and God, pray and just be grounded in love.
