the victory is won

Psalm 107:28-30 

Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, 
and He brought them out of their distress.

He stilled the storm to a whisper; 
the waves of the sea were hushed.

They were glad when it grew calm, 
and He guided them to their desired haven.

I am a little emotional today. And really I'm ok with that. Ya know some days it just feels good to cry. I have family and friends that are going through very hard times right now and it just makes me sad, like my soul hurts. Like you just want to cry and also thank God for his many blessings. I can get so frustrated with Wyatt and then God gently reminds me that Wyatt is His. Be grateful Olivia. You are so blessed.

A friend recently said this," in sorrow we want a reason to celebrate...life is not in vain". oh wow.

{Song}I Will Rise by Chris Tomlin

There's a peace I've come to know 
Though my heart and flesh may fail 
There's an anchor for my soul 
I can say "It is well" 

Jesus has overcome 
And the grave is overwhelmed 
The victory is won 
He is risen from the dead 

And I will rise when He calls my name 
No more sorrow, no more pain 
I will rise on eagles' wings 
Before my God fall on my knees 
And rise 
I will rise 

There's a day that's drawing near 
When this darkness breaks to light 
And the shadows disappear 
And my faith shall be my eyes 

Jesus has overcome 
And the grave is overwhelmed 
The victory is won 
He is risen from the dead 

And I will rise when He calls my name 
No more sorrow, no more pain 
I will rise on eagles' wings 
Before my God fall on my knees 
And rise 
I will rise 

And I hear the voice of many angels sing, 
"Worthy is the Lamb" 
And I hear the cry of every longing heart, 
"Worthy is the Lamb" 

And I will rise when He calls my name 
No more sorrow, no more pain 
I will rise on eagles' wings 
Before my God fall on my knees 
And rise 
I will rise

Jesus has overcome 

And the grave is overwhelmed 

The victory is won 

He is risen from the dead 

Isn't that awesome? Isn't that awesome that Jesus didn't just stay in the grave but he ROSE. He rose from the dead for me and for you. And for my friends and family that are hurting right now and going through tough times. He didn't stay there- HE ROSE. THE VICTORY IS WON!!!  Praise God.
