Gotta Keep Singing

I have stretches of good (even fantastic) days that are filled with hope and peace and all the love a girl could ever hope for coming in from all sides. I'll go for weeks, even, with nary a tear or a saddening thought.

But then, they come.

Those days that all seems lost and all I can think of is what should have been. I relive that terrible week as though it was one of those nightmares that you keep falling back into no matter how many times you wake yourself up.
Let's just say this weekend was a little rough for me.

I don't want to go into details and bring everyone else down with me, because I know I have friends that are dealing with their own storms right now. But I just wanted people to know that I'm not always the put-together one in the room. There are going to be days that I put on my brave face and yet feel like I am falling to pieces on the inside. I'm not always okay.

On that note, I'd like to share a bit of healing with you, in honor and support of those friends that are struggling. These are the lyrics to a song by MercyMe called Keep Singing. Hit play on this video and follow along as you read the words.



Another rainy day
I can't recall having sunshine on my face
And all I feel is pain
And all I want to do is walk out of this place
But when I am stuck and I can't move
When I don't know what I should do
When I wonder if I'll ever make it through

I gotta keep singing
I gotta keep praising Your name
You're the One that's keeping my heart beating
I gotta keep singing
I gotta keep praising your name
That's the only way that I find healing

Can I climb up in Your lap
I don't want to leave
Jesus sing over me
I gotta singing

Can I climb up in Your lap
I don't want to leave
Jesus sing over me
You're everything I need
And I gotta keep singing

Does that speak to you as it did to me?

Don't ever forget that He is everything you need, and please, never stop singing.

With love to all my friends in those storms - you know who you are.
