The following reflection was written by Poppy.

I love music. I really love it. I have a difficult time expressing myself verbally, so there are many songs that express the way I’m feeling and I think that’s why I love it so much. My husband and I went through 9 long and very trying years of infertility before we got our miracle pregnancy. I’m 31 weeks right now with a baby I never thought I would have. Through those years, there were so many songs and lyrics that resounded with me. One song in particular that pops into my head is by Kari Jobe. It’s called “You Are For Me”.

“So faithful, so constant. So loving and so true. So powerful in all You do. You fill me. You see me. You know my every move. You love for me to sing to You.

So patient. So gracious. So merciful and true. So wonderful in all You do. You fill me. You see me. You know my every move. You love me to sing to You.

I know that You are for me, I know that You are for me. I know that You will never forsake me in my weakness and I know that you have come down, even if to write upon my heart. To remind me who You are.”

The lyrics are so simple. It always brought me back to reality: The Lord is for me, so what do I have to be worried/afraid/angry about? Often, I need a reminder of who He is.
