Ellie Holcomb Instagram – I wish I could tell you that I wrote this melody from the mountain top of answered prayers and healing, but it wouldn’t be true. I wrote this song and many others that I’ve been sharing with you from deep in the valleys of suffering and loss. I wrote them in the shadows, as evidence that I found, by some miracle and mystery of God, that I wasn’t alone there. And maybe that’s just the heart of the Psalms…. they are an invitation to sing our sorrows out, to sing our doubts and questions, to sing our anger and disappointment, to sing, “How long, Oh Lord?” and to know that none of us are ever alone in the song. Perhaps that fact that we’re screaming our questions or grievances or grief up to the heavens, is evidence that we’re made for something more? I hope that you find yourself today in a green pasture of peace and light, but if you don’t, I pray this psalm will remind you that surely mercy and goodness will follow you all the days of your life…..and I mean on ALL of them. I pray this melody will be like a bread trail of beauty crumbs that leads you back to the table God sets for you ,even in the dark nights of the soul. I pray it will lead me back to that place as well, and that we’ll feast together on the grace and empathy and love of God that can meet us both on the mountaintops in spring, and in the darkest , deepest valleys of winter. #memorymondays #fightingwords #scripture #bibleverses #verseoftheday #inspiration #devotional #ellieholcomb
