When the Feeling's gone...

I may have posted this song before, but I heard it this morning, and it really struck a chord with me. These past few weeks have been rough: trouble at work, surgery, car problems, grandpa back in the hospital, banking error, more trouble at work. It’s all been a bit much to handle. I’ve felt overwhelmed, angry, frustrated, defeated, scared, helpless, hopeless, and a dozen other poopy descriptive words. Thankfully, I have a family who stands behind me, and comes to my rescue when I can’t go on, a boyfriend that is a blessing beyond measure who wipes my tears, supports and encourages me, and reminds me that I CAN do it, and a wonderful support system of a second family and other friends who refuse to let me be defeated. I am thankful for the many blessings in my life, and I am even more thankful for a God who doesn’t give up on me, and who has plans for my life beyond anything I could ask or imagine.

Even if you know this song, take a second to read the lyrics.

Shine On – Needtobreathe

Somewhere between the end
And the point where we begin
There’s a fire burning brightly
That’s found it’s way to dim
When the feeling’s gone
Shine on, shine on
And on to something new
It’s long and overdue
I will remember you
Shine on, shine on
And let the others see
You’ve got your victory
Will you remember me
I was with you in the valley
And up upon that hill
So take just one more step in front of you
For I am with you still
And you’re not alone
Shine on, shine on
and on to something new
It’s long and overdue
I will remember you
Shine on, shine on
And let the others see
You’ve got your victory
Will you remember me
Can you see my hands are open
I am waiting just ahead
And you think you need it all now
But you needed me instead
Shine on, shine on
Somewhere between the end
And the point where we began…
