Pickles & Praise

“Even though…” I whisper to myself. “Even though, even though, even though…” this has been the beginning of many affirmations from this mouth. No matter if it’s a high or low. “Even though” goes something like this…

Even though I don’t understand … I trust you.

Even though I am broken… I know you’re using the pieces.

Even though I’m scared… You’ve walked on deeper waters.

Even though my ground is shaking… you’re my foundation.

And it also goes like this

Even though life is pretty good… I won’t stray from you

Even though I am healed… I still thank you for when I was broken

Even though my day is bliss… I will always look to You to guide me…

In my worst days and my best days these sweet, raw, words have carried me. Carried me through long drives and chasing sunsets talking to my maker or singing that one worship song at the top of my lungs until my voice has nothing left to offer. Even though….

What is your “even though statement?”
