Where does my strength come from?

Since Bekah's diagnosis of T1D I have had countless people comment on what a strong person I am or how much strength I have. I will be completely honest with you. I am not a strong person and really I have nothing. I do know that when we come to the end of ourselves that there is One greater who will pick us up and be strong for us. I came to the end of myself prior to March 8th. It was really over the weekend before when I wasn't really sure what was going on with Bekah but I knew something was wrong that I became a puddle. My Heavenly Daddy came in and picked me up and said "it's ok I've got this one, you just let me carry you through this". The lyrics to the song "Let The Waters Rise" by Mikeschair really say it all. It may sound a bit dramatic but really this is how I felt during the first few days, even weeks as we tried to find out what this new diagnosis meant and what went with it. I still have days where this is the cry of my heart.

Don't know where to begin
Its like my world's caving in
And I try but I can't control my fear
Where do I go from here?

sometimes its so hard to pray
When You feel so far away
But I am willing to go
Where you want me to
God, I trust You

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

I will swim in the deep
'Cuz You'll be next to me
You're in the eye of the storm
And the calm of the sea
You'll never out of reach

God, You know where I've been
You were there with me then
You were faithful before
You'll be faithful again
I'm holding Your hand

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

God Your love is enough
You will pull me through
I'm holding onto You
God Your love is enough
I will follow You
I will follow you

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You
