WW.002: Promises | Original by Sarah Crawford
The last song I posted about was Do It Again by Elevation Worship. This week I wanted to share with you an original song I wrote Just a few long months ago before this pandemic took over our lives! I wrote it near Christmas time and during the process, was dealing again with the fact that I can’t always guess what God’s will is…surprise! haha wouldn’t that be nice?!
This is something I foolishly try to do all the time. I overthink everything and find reasons why God should let certain things work out. Ultimately I can never know what God’s plan is and He likes to remind me by blowing my ideas completely out of the water, sometimes in good ways other times in ways that may be really hard to accept. It was out of a particularly disappointing reappointment that this song was birthed. I wrote it on a walk I went on around my neighborhood to calm my mind and refocus on the fact that whatever God’s plan is, it is always going to be greater than what I can imagine so I can trust Him no matter what!
No experience is wasted and so all the joy I may have had over that particular dream was still used by Him in it’s obliteration to carve out pieces of me that needed to be chipped away. I am His masterpiece and every “lost” and shattered dream is His chisel on my life, slowly but surely revealing the character He designed me to be, from before the beginning of time. I am learning to trust Him more each day with the things I can only guess about. His promises are good, maybe I misunderstood but I knew He always would because His promises are good!
Blessings FAM!
