It is Well

I received the call from a gentleman in my life. He asked if I’d be willing to go out on the town with him…

This past weekend, I had the privilege of visiting my dear brother. We had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! A lovely cup of soup, delightful conversation, and the symphony! What girl could ask for more? Thank you, Lucas, for being an incredible brother! I love you!

Rachel, my sister, and I also got to hear the GBS choir. It was such an enjoyable Sunday. They sang one of my favorite songs…It is Well.

The words to one particular verse spoke to my heart.

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

As I listened to these words again my heart began to rejoice. There are so many areas of life that I must surrender to Him. But one day…I will stand before him and he will welcome me home…

Lord,
Whether single or married…
It is well with my soul.
Whether wealthy or struggling…
It is well with my soul.
Whether lonely or full…
It is well with my soul.

Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to be well!

So true Jo. It really is possible to be content isn't it?

Sounds like you had a fun day with Lucas. You do have a wonderful little brother Jo! "It is Well" is one of my favorite songs too. There are so many renditions of it and I love them all.
