Open My Eyes
The next morning I was combing my hair, the heaviness like a leaden shroud around my body. The words, “Light, light, light up the sky ……..open my eyes …” kept coming to me. I’m not my boys. Half the songs I love I can’t sing the words to or remember the titles for so I have to google the words I remember. I knew God was speaking to me.
I looked it up and listened to the song, “Light up the Sky,” by the Afters.
“Open my eyes ….. Show me You are with me.” I cried and played it again.
The words fit my heart so perfectly. So many times we pray that God would be with us; but the truth is He always is. We need to pray that He would open our eyes so we can see Him.
After the second time I clicked on a mix channel of the song expecting it to play first since that was the song listed. Instead, “Famous For,” …… the song God gave me for Liam with so much promise of miraculous healing …. started playing. My heart nearly leaped out of my body!!! So many times God brings me those songs when I’m struggling hardest to believe. As long as He continues to bring me messages of a miracle, I will continue in faith that He will do one for Liam.
We drove home that day, picked up our girls, and put things away from the trip. Life felt kind of surreal, the way you move around like a dream you wish you could wake out of. That evening one of Adam’s friends from church sent me this beautiful song. I still cry at the hope and beauty of these words as God gently led my heart back to quiet rest and faith in what He had said.
“While I wait. I will trust. Sometimes miracles take time.”
