Ellie Holcomb Instagram – Sometimes, when your heart feels heavy like a stone, God puts a rainbow on your bathroom floor. Love always moves to the lowest place, even to the grave.
It’s a wild wonder to me that this heavy week in our city comes crashing into the Easter story. Jesus was called a Man of Sorrows because the story his life tells is that as deep as pain can take us, Love’s a deeper well.
I had the honor and privilege of singing this song that I wrote with @chrisrenzema at the celebration of life of my favorite teacher from third grade, Mrs Cindy Peak. She named her precious daughter after me, and the world feels a little darker without her here. She shone a beautiful light. She’s healed and whole and alive , but our hearts still hurt down here. So many hearts still hurt.
I wanted to dive into the rainbow on the floor today, to drink it in deep, to remember that, even as we grieve, Love holds us there. God‘s love reminds us that the grieving is never the end.
Holding up anyone who is walking through loss or grief today . Let’s keep looking for the light , looking for the rainbows in the sky and on the bathroom floor, the mercies that meet us in the valleys . Comment below with a 🌈 if you are looking for the light today. I’ll hold you up in prayer as my grieving heart aches too. Thank goodness the rainbow reminds us , we never grieve alone, and we never grieve without hope.
And thank you, Chris, for coming to sing this beautiful song with me on that heavy day. Thank you @drewholcombmusic for playing our show by yourself in DC that night so I could come and hold onto to hope with people I love , even in the valley. So many mercies . Lord, give us eyes to see them . | Posted on 29/Mar/2024 03:54:00
