7. “Beautiful Day” by Jamie Grace
Inspiring lyrics
“Cause I can’t let a day go, can’t let a day go by
Without thanking You for the joy that You bring to my life”
Despite the ups and downs of this life, we must continue to find joy where He has planted us. There is much to look forward to in this lifestyle (if you look at it in a way that praises His plan for you).
There are epic reunions after deployments, you get to travel all over the country (and world), you get extra time with your soldier during moves, you build new friendships at each post, you get to serve God in new capacities, you become stronger and more capable daily.
But sometimes those things don’t happen and a certain move might bring you to your knees. That happened to me during one of our moves. I couldn’t find a job, I only met one friend, my marriage went through its first real test, and I felt utterly alone.
As always, God used those circumstances for good. During that time, I drew desperately closer to Christ because I felt like I had no one else. My relationship with Him is thriving and it all began with that time in the darkness. No matter where you are in your journey, it’s a “beautiful day.”
