A Song I Needed to Hear

By Ryan, April 20, 2008

Everybody faces tough times in life, and most Christians have asked God “why” during a difficult situation. The other day, when I was driving home from Wal-Mart, I heard a song on the radio that spoke to me in a way no song has ever been able to. The song “Whatever You’re Doing” by Sanctus Real does an outstanding job of addressing issues from a Christian perspective.

The chorus says this:

“Whatever You’re doing inside of me,
It feels like chaos but somehow there’s peace.
And it’s hard to surrender to what I can’t see,
But I’m giving into something heavenly.”
I have no idea why God does what He does half the time. I still have a few questions about why my grandmother died of cancer two years ago. Needless to say, I’m only beginning to understand the death of my uncle two months ago. Neither death seemed fair. They were both very stressful times in my life, as you can imagine. And when I was moved to Frisco in 2001, I didn’t have a clue what God was doing in my life. But this part of the song, by using the word “whatever,” supports the idea that we don’t need to understand God’s plan. And as long as we understand that we aren’t meant to understand God, we can find comfort in the chaos. The chorus goes on to confirm that it will be difficult to trust God, and believe me, this is so true.

But I’m giving into something heavenly.

I'm right there with you Ryan. Sometimes I ask myself, why did this happen, what did I do to screw this up? Why is this happening? But you know, it always turns out alright because I have friends who were right there to support me 100%!

After, checking back on the Faulty Jeans I have just noticed that in the right bottom hand corner there is a smiley face!
