There will always be times when we face a deep valley or a high mountain and we need a little help to make it. Often times I find it in words from my friends. Sometimes I find it in music. There are times when the only thing that works is tears.
Today I spoke at a funeral and somehow in the middle, I lost hope. I am not sure if they noticed and still, I felt it go away. I need to find it again, whatever it takes.

In my lifetime I thought 911, the death of my grandad, the death of my Mom, the death of my brother-in-law, the death of my father would be the hardest things I would ever experience. But today, with all the illness it is the perfect storm. It's all here, fresh and devastating. It's like it all just happened again.
I always need this one. Beautiful voice.
It sure couldnt’ hurt.
we all need reminders that the world is what it is.
right in this moment I want it to be something different.
baby steps to change!
what can we change about the world today?
umm, you got me. No clue today. I am lost.
what one or two things can we change today to make the world a better place?
Ah, Lauren Daigle, what can I say, a friend wrote this about this particular song sang by Lauren,
“I’m really having a hard time in life right now. My fiance and I broke up, I just lost my job. Housing and food came with the job. The worst part is it was a church ministry job and I just felt like giving up on the idea of the whole ministry and just going back to construction. I was feeling so overwhelmed and so very tired. I was just driving along and this song started playing so I listened more deeply to it as I sank inside driving. Then tears were flowing as I listen to it, it reminded me of God’s past faithfulness and kindness to me when it seemed my life was over. Anyway, Lauren, I really love your voice and this song.” He wrote. So, back to me, Lauren, is just such a pure soul and her voice brings rest to the troubled souls of the world, mine too.ss you for sharing it here.
What a powerful responce. Much respect.
