Call My Name

This song came on Pandora this morning, and it was at a perfect time. I wrote earlier this week how a song can hit you at just the right moment. Well, God spoke to me this morning through this song.

 When you feel like you're alone in your sadness
It seems like no one else in this whole world cares
And you want to get away from the madness
You just call My name and I'll be there
You just call My name and I'll be there

It started on Friday, the loneliness. For no particular reason at all, it just kind of hit me all over again. I was at school, and there were no triggers, but I just felt sad. I could feel myself slipping into the despair that I knew all too well a month ago. The sadness was magnified by the lack of hope I felt. For the first time in a while I was struggling to find hope. So, I did the only thing I knew to do and I prayed to find the hope and peace that kept me going.

The pain inside
Has erased your hope for love
Soon you will find
That I'll give you all
That your heart could ever want
And so much more

Then, yesterday we were at Target and I almost lost it as I walked past the baby section. The last time we were there we were updating our registry for our sweet baby girl. I saw a couple picking out bibs and it about killed me. I just kept walking, praying to God to give me the strength to take those steps. 

You just call My name
You just call My name
Call My name say it now
I want you to never doubt
The love I have for you is so alive
Call My name say it now
I want you to never doubt
The love I have for you is so alive

 

Yesterday evening I received a facebook message that threw me off a bit, but as I reread it I recognized God speaking to me through it. He wanted me to know that He was there. He was right next to me the entire time. At school, at Target, and there as I read that message. He was telling me there was hope. He was telling me that if I just continued to call His name He would never leave me.

The love I have for you is so alive
You just call My name
