In the last two weeks I have had conflict in almost every major area of my life. I was talking to a friend about this and she said that God often speaks to her in themes. So she asked if there was something that God was trying to teach me through all the conflict. I hadn't thought of it from that perspective. I'm not sure what God wants me to learn, unless it's just simply to trust him more. To learn to live by faith and trust that he is leading me. Perhaps that isn't so simple after all. But certainly a lifelong goal.
From all of this I wrote a song. I can't share the tune through my blog, but here are the words.
Dona Nobis, Dona Nobis Pachem.
Grant us peace Lord, grant us peace Lord, grant us peace Lord, grant us peace.
There was a dream, such a dream
Made not long ago
A dream of peace, a dream of love
For valleys high and low
But we're still fighting, sadly fighting
Against the great unknown
And we cannot learn to listen, and learn to let it go
If I bleed red and so do you
Must we die to find it's true?
Pride and anger, mixed with fear
Causes men to fight
And say we're different, so different
The rich, the black the white
But in Christ there are no nations
There is no slave nor free
But instead we are his children
And today we ask for peace.
Grant us peace Lord.

Lovely poem/song Kristen.. I'm not sure what God is trying to tell us, but perhaps you're right. It's probably no comfort to know that you have a friend going through similar conflicts, but it's true. Talking about it helps. If I don't talk about it I know I'll soon have an implosion. Wow, I just googled that word and found a funny site.. www.implosionworld.com. I guess there really IS a website for everything. hang in there. Love, ABH
