Faith...

So, my brother is a muscian (and a fabulous one at that). He has this song that's on his newest CD called "Hands" and it completely inspires me to not waste my life and challenges me to live my faith even when life sucks.
Here are my favorite lines from the song,
"Come on faith, get some bruises. You blush when I tell you your the currency love uses. Come on Pain, pick a side your killing from both ends and we've got no place to hide."

Lately my faith has got some bruises, I'm not going to lie. And I really think that's the only way for your faith to grow. I guess the thing I am realizing, with the help of my amazing brother, is that your pain has to pick a side-that's what makes the difference. A faith without bruises isn't much of a faith, is it? And from those bruises, the pain that picks God's side is what makes the faith complete and triumphant.

I'm right there with you. We need to finally connect over the phone. God has been good, but it's been a tough road. Have a wonderful day, and I'm thinking of you always! Love ya girl.
