Live Through It
James Fortune has a song entitled "Live Through It"
This song speaks to my heart. It brings me to a place of deep thought. It reminds me that I shouldn't put my mouth on things that I don't have all of the facts about. How can I condemn someone who might be struggling with an issue or situation in their lives, that I have to idea of what the struggle feels like.
Even thought I may not be able to know directly, I know what it is to go through some things. However, I also know what means to honestly - LIVE THROUGH IT!!!!
These past months have taught me how to live life to the fullest. Not just because of what my wife is going through, but - my entire family. Each one of us is dealing with this battle in each of our own ways. We talk, yell, scream, cry, pray, worship, laugh, close ourselves in rooms, etc. But, we live through it.
There are days when I want to pick up a disrespectful, entitled, self-centered person who is also rude and appears to have a heart of stone and throw them through a wall. Just when my hands reach out - ready to touch - I remember that we(household, extended family members, friends) are all going through this together.and each of us will show our emotions in different ways.
All I ask is that the offensive comments not be mentioned in the presence of my wife. She doesn't need to hear things like "it's not my responsibility," "why I have to do that?" and the best one of all "I'll pray for you, but I don't have time to come over and help you, give it to God"
Not that I'm complaining, but I just live through it now. It's a matter of me taking care of her and asking for the help when I most desperately need it. My sister-in-law keeps the kids in check for me when I'm working so that Audrey has what she needs, when she needs it.
Next week, we go back for the third time to try the surgery again. It's the first of the year and we're about to rack up over $5K in deductible bills. That's something I can't worry about right now. Her health is first. So, what do I want you to pray for? Pray that the surgery happens and then goes well. Pray that the temporary pacemaker gets put in place so that the cancer in her right kidney is removed and that the ultrasound doesn't show anymore tumors. Pray for her mindset - because if this surgery doesn't happen - she's made up her mind that she's not going back. Pray that our children can understand her decision. Pray that the Lord will give her body comfort, peace and rest.

Some of the words to this song are:
Life is filled with so many ups and downs
Have you ever been there?
One day you're smiling, the next day you're fighting
To hold back your tears to hide how you feel
So tired of faking like everything is ok
When you know it's not right
No sleep at night.
Have you ever been there?
One day you're smiling, the next day you're fighting
To hold back your tears to hide how you feel
So tired of faking like everything is ok
When you know it's not right
No sleep at night.
Bridge:
You may be asking 'cause you never imagined
How can this be God?
This cannot be God.
I can only tell you what he told me
You may be asking 'cause you never imagined
How can this be God?
This cannot be God.
I can only tell you what he told me
Chorus:
Live through it
Grow through it
Get through it
You can make it if you just
Pray through it
Don't let this be the end for you.
So live through it.
Live through it
Grow through it
Get through it
You can make it if you just
Pray through it
Don't let this be the end for you.
So live through it.
