Some days are just like this..

Sometimes, I just cannot shake feeling depressed..I do not want to feel this way nor do I want to stay here at all....I run from it, I shake it, I scramble, and I FIGHT it with all that is in me...and then I usually get still because it has caught up with me and then I feel depressed..this morning has been just like that....rejection, sleeplessness, non stop barking dogs, and a messy house....all of this just added up and sat right down on top of me.......THEN.......


this song came to my spirit.....and I went to youtube (a wonderful, encouraging tool of the internet) and found it..as it played, I cried..relief...and then I smiled..and as quick as that....IT lifted...GONE!!! feel hope again....

it is because of my Lord and my husband that I can sing this song and mean it...and an unexpected call this morning from my Betsy to make me laugh....I wanted to share it with you...in case you are feeling 'IT' too...don't just settle and let it take over...fight with all you have to get it off of you....and let this song speak to you....close your eyes and drink it in.....




When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.


thank you so much for coming along this life path with me...may your day be filled with hope...
