It is well with my soul

I heard from Waylon not too long after my last post.  He called to say I would no longer be a part of his or Roo's life.  I was silly to think my heart could not shatter any more than it had at his missing status. At least I know he is OK and Waylon's ex, for now, will let me talk to Roo on the phone once a week.  Not sure how long that will last as the last couple of times, Roo did not want to talk to me and Kris will soon tire of me calling.

I was way beyond devastated and knew it was going to take a lot more than duct tape and baling wire to put my heart back together.  You see, I have been down this road when for 4 years, I did not know if Waylon was dead or alive.  Waylon had spiraled deep into the world of drugs.  I knew he was in Minnesota but that was about it. 

How do parents who have young children go missing survive????, especially when they don't have God in their lives.

Thank you God for my sisterchicks, who steady me so I do not fall, for my fellow bloggers who encourage me through their posts, for your Word that is a balm on my wounds, for Hope...

It Is Well With My Soul

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Refrain:
It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

Refrain:
It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

Refrain:
It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life,
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

Refrain:
It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

But Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul.

Refrain:
It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

Refrain:
It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
