Starting Over

I miss blogging. Really. So I've decided to start posting regularly. If you know me well, you may be laughing right now... that's because I've said it often and, well, haven't always followed through. And it may be the same this time, but I'm not going to put any pressure on myself. That's also new for me. ;)

Earlier this week I heard a new song that already means a lot to me. It's called "When The Rain Comes" by Third Day. Here are the lyrics, with my favorite lines in italics:

~When the rain comes you think that everyone has gone away
When the night falls you wonder if you shouldn't find someplace
To run and hide
Escape the pain
But hiding's such a lonely thing to do

I can't stop the rain from falling down on you again
I can't stop the rain, but i will hold you till it goes away

When the rain comes you blame it on the things that you have done
When the storm fades you know the rain has fall'n on everyone
So rest a while
It will be alright
No one loves you like i do

I can't stop the rain from falling down on you again
I can't stop the rain, but I will hold you,
I can't stop the rain from falling down on you again
I can't stop the rain, but I will hold you till it goes away~

This song brings me so much peace. It's so simple, but so beautiful. It's a nice reminder that sometimes the most important thing is not avoiding pain, but allowing yourself to be vulnerable enough to loved well in the midst of life's pains and disappointments.
