I Will

Even if I never get married 
Even if I don't get a new job
Even if I get sick/get cancer
Even if I don't get to live in Guatemala again
Even if I keep teaching
Even if I don't have kids
Even if I feel lonely
Even if I continue to live by myself
Even though I feel stressed
Even though I'm not good at my job
Even though I'm at a different stage in life than most of my friends
Even though I don't want to work as much as I am 

I will trust You
I will love You
I will seek You
I will trust You 

Pain points us to the Lord and the hope for a new heaven and earth

Even though I don't understand
Even though I don't have answers
Even though I don't know what's next
Even if I'm not "successful"

I will run to You 
I will rest in You
