He's Been Faithful, as sung by Vicki Yohe

I just had to type in these lyrics to my new favorite song.. Vicki Yohe performed it live at our church a few weeks ago and I cried like a baby.. I had no idea I was pregnant at the time.. i bought the cd and listened to it again today.. it has all the more meaning now. When I look back at all God has carried me through, and where He's brought me to today, this song just gives me goosebumps every time! By the way, Vicki had struggled with infertility for years, and recently adopted a baby boy, just before recording this song.

In my moments of fear
Through every pain, every tear
There's a God who's been faithful to me
When my strength was all gone
When my heart had no song
Still, in love
He's proved faithful to me
Every word He's promised is true
What I thought was impossible
I see my God do!

He's been faithful, faithful to me
Looking back, his love and mercy I see
Though in my heart, I have questioned
Even failed to believe
He's been faithful, faithful to me

When my heart looked away
the many times I could not pray
Still my God, He was faithful to me

The days I spent so selfishly
Reaching out for what pleased me
Even then
God was faithful to me

Everytime I come back to him
he is waiting with open arms
and I see once again

He's been faithful, faithful to me
Looking back, his love and mercy I see
Though in my heart, I have questioned
Even failed to believe
He's been faithful, faithful to me

How my story got told...

Well, as fate would have it (or God's sense of humor) I was called upon to tell my story to a news reporter and camera crew just two days after writing my last post, as part of a story on infertility for our local news. Before the 30 minute interview even began, God took over.. I didn't shake or stumble, I just told the truth.. here's what happened.. it hurt.. i grew.. and God has blessed me immeasurably since. The great part for me was being asked to read samples of my poetry on the air. They will also be used as part of an upcoming infertility seminar to be held at a local Christian counseling center. God is truly amazing. When you don't have the strength to scream from a mountaintop, he brings the mountaintop to you!

P.S. - the story will air on KTBS on Tuesday, January 3, 2005 at 5 p.m. and should be available on ktbs.com afterward.
