Ellie Holcomb Instagram – I’ll never forget singing this melody for the first time. I was in the mountains, serving at a Young Life camp, while nursing my third baby, and trying to parent, and sing, and connect with the hundreds of precious high school kids who were at the camp that week. I was exhausted. I was dropping all kinds of balls, and while I was pumping ( sorry if this is too many details.ha!) I just started to cry. My guitar player, Julie, had just sent me this beautiful guitar part on a text message, and I remember listening to it and taking a deep breath. As I did, I happened to glance out the window…literal mountains all around me! Suddenly Psalm 121 came to mind, so I looked it up and started singing this song while I was still pumping. It was a deep comfort to me to remember in that season, while I was stretched really thin, that my help comes from the Lord. I am SO often the person who tries to pull it together and pull through in my own strength. I got a “can do” attitude from my mom that I love, but it often I let that spirit prevent me from acknowledging that I really do need help, from others, and from the Lord. I’m so grateful for the grace in moments when I come to the end of myself, because it is often in those thin and worn out, desperate, places that I encounter the beauty of the abundance of God’s love and grace. I don’t know what you’re carrying today, but I pray this song reminds you that you never have to carry anything alone. I hope it reminds you to lift your eyes to the hills and remember where your help comes from. #memorymondays #fightingwords #scripture #bibleverses #verseoftheday #inspiration #devotional #ellieholcomb
