"The river of life runs deep." I couldn't get this sentence out of my head as a I prepared for and received my latest PET scan. I had no idea what it meant but it gave me a great deal of peace.
Fast-forward to yesterday evening after the test. I was worshipping to Hillsong UNITED's Zion Sessions album and, during a spontaneous moment, started singing, "When I pass through the river You will be with me, in it, in it, in it." I felt it resonate deep inside of me. Then, the light flipped off in my spirit and I remembered the beginning portion of Isa. 43.2 (God talking, here): "'When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you.'" It all finally made sense. I don't know if this is at all theologically accurate (#SorryHeresyHunters) but I think this is the same "river of life" God put in my head and heart: quotidian, cancer treatment, get the kids to school, vote in an election, life.
I just wanted to hop on here and share. I hope this helps somebody. Whether you be sunbathing in the shallows of this river of life or plunged head-long into the raging middle: "You are with me."
Much love,
Anna Jo
