I know I've been quiet

I've been crazy busy. Well at least I've been tied up. My last several weeks have been a survival game. Ethan and I have been repeatedly sick, I was getting ready for a visit from Robert's Aunt, Uncle & Second Cousin from Canada, and during their visit I've been sick. I think this is the 2nd time I've been on my computer since they arrived. Even this little pocket of time I only have because I was too sick to accompany them all to New Orleans this weekend.

Don't get me wrong, they have been wonderful and it has been so nice to have them, here! I only wish I had been well enough to be a proper hostess.

It's just the dark Before The Morning

I've been having a hard time of it, lately. My husband has been working & traveling a lot, I've been struggling with some day to day things with Ethan and on top of that Ethan and I keep getting sick. I've gotten to feel (again) like we're just trying to get through every day. I got a new CD, today & the words of this song jumped out at me and encouraged me. I've listed the lyrics below the video if you just want to read the words.



Before the Morning
by Josh Wilson

Do you wonder why you have to,
feel the things that hurt you,
if there's a God who loves you,
where is He now?

Maybe, there are things you can't see
and all those things are happening
to bring a better ending
some day, some how, you'll see, you'll see

Chorus:
Would dare you, would you dare, to believe,
that you still have a reason to sing,
'cause the pain you've been feeling,
can't compare to the joy that's coming

so hold on, you got to wait for the light
press on, just fight the good fight
because the pain you've been feeling,
it's just the dark before the morning

My friend, you know how this all ends
and you know where you're going,
you just don't know how you get there
so just say a prayer.
and hold on, cause there's good who love God,
life is not a snapshot, it might take a little time,
but you'll see the bigger picture

Would dare you, would you dare, to believe,
that you still have a reason to sing,
'cause the pain you've been feeling,
can't compare to the joy that's coming

so hold on, you got to wait for the light
press on, just fight the good fight
because the pain you've been feeling,
it's just the dark before the morning
yeah, yeah,
before the morning,
yeah, yeah

Once you feel the way of glory,
all your pain will fade to memory
once you feel the way of glory,
all your pain will fade to memory
memory, memory, yeah

Would dare you, would you dare, to believe,
that you still have a reason to sing,
'cause the pain you've been feeling,
can't compare to the joy that's coming

Would dare you, would you dare, to believe,
that you still have a reason to sing,
'cause the pain you've been feeling,
can't compare to the joy that's coming

com'n, you got to wait for the light
press on, just fight the good fight
because the pain you've been feeling,
it's just the hurt before the healing
the pain you've been feeling,
just the dark before the morning
before the morning, yeah, yeah
before the morning
