I met the 3 day old daughter of some good friends on Saturday. I fell in love immediately- she’s beautiful. She slept on me for an hour and completely stole my heart, and, to top it all off, my husband huskily told me that I’m a natural :) I also got to see him hold a newborn- it was a bit awkward, but I so look forward to the day that we are each holding our own sweet newborn baby!

Jas took this pic and it so blessed my heart!

When my heart is soft & repentant I long to write. The words are like fire in my bones, aching to be put to legible form. When my fingers touch the keyboard the words flow almost effortlessly.

When my heart is hard, and I am hiding from God, the desire to write is muted. It lingers still, but I cannot formulate a clear thought, let alone transfer it to paper [read: cyber paper].

This is no coincidence.

It’s not the time to write about exactly what God is doing in my heart right now, but this song is profound and speaks to my soul in ways that I cannot put into words. I’m also going to post the lyrics; I strongly encourage you to listen to the song, read the lyrics, and prayerfully consider the message.

I’m excited to share with you what God is doing when the time is right. I just need to make sure that my desire is to rely on & glorify Jesus and not merely write about Him and His work on my blog. For now, enjoy this incredible song and I pray it speaks to your heart such as it has to mine.

The Cure For Pain - Jon Foreman

I’m not sure why it always goes downhill
Why broken cisterns never could stay filled
I’ve spent ten years singing gravity away
But the water keeps on falling from the sky

And here tonight while the stars are blacking out
With every hope and dream I’ve ever had in doubt
I’ve spent ten years trying to sing these doubts away
But the water keeps on falling from my eyes

And heaven knows, heaven knows
I’ve tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord! To suffer like You do
It would be a lie to run away

So blood is fire pulsing through our veins
We’re either writers or fools behind the reigns
I’ve spent ten years trying to sing it all way
But the water keeps on falling from my tries

And heaven knows, heaven knows
I’ve tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord! To suffer like You do
It would be a lie to run away
A lie to run
It would be a lie
It would be a lie to run away

It keeps on falling
It keeps on falling
It keeps on falling
It keeps on falling
Water keeps on falling from my eyes

And heaven knows, heaven knows
I’ve tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord! To suffer like You do
It would be a lie to run away
It would be a lie to run away
It would be a lie to run away
