Through many trials, and toils and snares

As I look back at the past month, a lot has happened. Many things have just shot in a completely different direction than I expected and I suppose it is because often enough my will is not God's will.

I am almost at the point of feeling like too much has happened. I am an emotional dude, I use my emotions onstage, I am able to connect within and just know what's going on. Although much has gone on, I realize that more is yet to come, and whatever it is, I must rely on God and see more of him and less of me. This life on earth is not guaranteed to be filled with happy days, days full of financial prosperity and tons of stuff. What's guaranteed is that God is love, God will provide, and God will return. He might not provide how we were hoping, but HE WILL DO SOMETHING.

Even if we think it's nothing, something much bigger is going on.


This week, I have had the privilege of being loved by God, friends, and family. Having God send people to surround me and encourage me, because life has been one big curveball lately. Thanks be to God for his mercy and grace.

I'll make it through, these things shall pass, and I will emerge a stronger man.

Thanks for the love ya'lll

Keep it reals,

Shado

Blessed Be the Tie that Binds

1. Blessed be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like that to that above.

2. Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one
Our comforts and our cares.

3. We share each other's woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.

4. When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.

5. This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way;
While each in expectation lives,
And longs to see the day.

6. From sorrow, toil and pain,
And sin, we shall be free,
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.
