It is well with my soul.

Ryan and I visited some sweet friends and their little girl this weekend, and while visiting their church on Sunday, I was incredibly touched by a video that was played that told the story of the man who wrote the old hymn, "It is well with my soul". 

So I wanted to share it with you...

If you are in the midst of a trial, a burden, something painful and hard to understand, a situation beyond what you can handle, or even if your life is going just as you planned, I think you'll be moved by this story.  I hope that it encourages you to press deeper into the shelter of God's love and grace.

I couldn't locate the actual video I saw, but this one will do the trick.
