How Steep is your Climb?
"What if your blessings came from raindrops?" (Blessings)
The Words penned by Laura Story
in the midst her husband Martin's
Upward Battle
that continues
due to
his brain tumor journey
and short term memory loss
that they deal with
every day since 2006.
A song birthed out of suffering
How Steep is your Climb?
"I know the sorrow, and I know the hurt Would all go away if You'd just say the word But even if You don't My hope is You alone" (Even If)
The Words penned by Bart Millard, of the band Mercy Me,
because of the weight of his daily
Upward Battle
of his son's chronic illness
making him want to throw the towel in.
A song birthed out of suffering
How Steep is your Climb?
“If you look at the world, you’ll be distressed. If you look within, you’ll be depressed.
But if you look at Christ, you’ll be at rest.”
The Words penned by Corrie Ten Boom
a concentration camp survivor A quote birthed out of suffering
How Steep is your Climb?
The words we sing
The words we quote
all birthed out of suffering
because of
a climb
that was so steep.
"I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth." (Psalm 121:1-2)
A Song of Ascents
A Psalm
penned to be sung
by the pilgrims
during the pilgrimage to Jerusalem
because they knew
Whose
they were
and where
their hope came from
as they
faced their steep climb.
How Steep is your Climb?
Have you arrived at the top, or
Are you in the middle of it, or
Are you just beginning it?
But..
Wherever you are
Just look up
as
Laura Story is
as
Bart Millard is
as
Corrie Ten Boom did
because
they knew
their
Creator
and they knew
they were
His
and that my friend
is
Who I am
and
Who you are
no matter
How Steep is your Climb
So,
Just look up~
"He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore." (Psalm 121)
From Rags to Riches
Because
What if your blessings came from Raindrops..
