Change. . .

Our little family is changing.

 Change is part of life, I totally get that.

 But some change is harder than others. And most change has pain involved. 

This time will not be without pain. 

I woke up this morning and started on my daily routine. .

Shower, dress, make the bed, pray. . . .and I realized I was getting more discouraged by the minute. 

I was going over in my mind what I needed to do today and asking God for strength. . . 

but my heart just hurts. 

And I was having a hard time just putting one foot in front of the other. 

So I turned on Pandora to try to lift my spirits. 

Wouldn't you know, God had a song waiting. 

Who can hold the stars?

And my weary heart?

Who can see everything?

I've fallen so hard

Sometimes I feel so far

But not beyond your reach

I could climb a mountain

Swim the ocean

Or do anything

But it's when you hold me

That I start unfolding

And all I can say is

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Whatever's in front of me

Help me to sing hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Whatever's in front of me

I'll choose to sing hallelujah

The same sun that

Rises over castles

And welcomes the day

Spills over buildings

Into the streets

Where orphans play

And only you can see the good

In broken things

You took my heart of stone

And you made it home

And set this prisoner free

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Whatever's in front of me

Help me to sing hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Whatever's in front of me

I'll choose to sing hallelujah

Whatever is on front of me, I WILL sing Hallelujah

But I will cry while singing.
