I know I left a comment… maybe I accidentally deleted it! Oops.</em> You didn't delete it. I just found it in my "pending" comments. Don't know how it got there, or why it didn't publish as normal, but you basically redid it already (bless your little heart!) so I won't publish it again. Just wanted you to know you weren't losing your mind. :) @Alice Hmmm…. I know I left a comment… maybe I accidentally deleted it! Oops.

I know I left a comment... maybe I accidentally deleted it! Oops. Anyway, I know that I can absolutely identify with your post! Looking back at my old life is now like watching a faded movie reel or looking at artifacts behind glass. Words elude me when I try to describe just what Jesus did in me. All I know is that everything has changed! I am reminded of a song by Casting Crowns called "All Because of Jesus." It's all because of Jesus I'm alive It's all because the blood of Jesus Christ Covers me and raised this dead man's life It's all because of Jesus I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive! Every sunrise sings Your praise The universe cries out Your praise I'm singing freedom all my days Now that I'm alive! Uhoh, I thought of another song!! Now That You're Near, Hillsong: Now that You're near Everything is different, Everything's so different, Lord And I know I'm not the same My life You've changed And I want to be with You, I want to be with You! Awesome post; thanks for the great reminder! Hmmm…. I know I left a comment… maybe I accidentally deleted it! Oops.

I am reminded of a song by Casting Crowns called “All Because of Jesus.”

It’s all because of Jesus I’m alive
It’s all because the blood of Jesus Christ
Covers me and raised this dead man’s life
It’s all because of Jesus I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive!

Every sunrise sings Your praise
The universe cries out Your praise
I’m singing freedom all my days
Now that I’m alive!

Uhoh, I thought of another song!! Now That You’re Near, Hillsong:

Now that You’re near
Everything is different,
Everything’s so different, Lord
And I know I’m not the same
My life You’ve changed
And I want to be with You, I want to be with You!

Awesome post; thanks for the great reminder!

Do I detect another WFW post in your future? I googled the first three lines of the poem As Eeyore would say, “Thanks for trying.” :)

(You probably did that already.) While Google found your post immediately, I didn't find anything else that was relevant. I'm not sure we're meant to be perpetually cheery. Filled with joy, yes ... but joy differs from cheeriness, and isn't always manifested in the same way. Or so it seems to me. Touching post!
