Hello ,

I want to share a song that has been especially meaningful to me as I laid in the ICU at the Mayo Clinic, wondering if I was going to live through the health challenges. 

When you're really hurting, it can be so normal to wonder if there's anyone who understands what you're going through. This song challenged me to look beyond myself into the heart of a loving Savior who completely understood what I was going through.

If you're struggling, I hope it blesses you as well. 

Here's a link to the song.

Have a great day and God bless!

Pastor Mike / The Open Word 

P.S.  I have included a picture of my daughter listening to my new heart (after the transplant) for the very first time. I was really struggling in this picture, but God has been merciful and gracious to me and my family!
