When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up--one on one side, one on the other--so that his hands remained steady till sunset. -Exodus 17:12
So excited to bring you another of my favorites that inspires me every time I hear the song. Today's #MusicMonday is a bit of a throw back, not all the to 80s or anything. Today I chose to feature Parachute's Something to Believe in from 2011. This song has a great beat and an amazing chorus. The songs is about a girl that he is in love with and she is Something to Believe in. I do not know the artists faith, but truly that is no the point of my blog. It is to bring positive music that can help encourage those that are around us. My faith is everything that I am, but to reach the world we music find beauty in all things. I hope that you enjoy this track as much as I do. I hope that you find it worthy to be featured on this #MusicMonday. My favorite part of the song is the end when a big choir sings the chorus with the band. It is everything you would imagine it would be. The song gives amazing imagery as if you are in a barren desert with no water and having lost hop...
Falling back: Harold Lloyd in Safety Last Photo: Rex I often put pressure on myself to get somewhere, using my own strength to reach these places that "I need to get to."

I was having a conversation with a friend the other day. We were talking about how we work so hard and sometimes it feels as though you are running in circles trying to get somewhere. We were chatting about how when the most life defining moments happen, they are often accomplished with using no force. It's as though the opportunity had been waiting for us forever and we just needed to wait for that perfect timing. I am learning in life that it's all about timing (and I know what you're thinking reading this yes you are exactly right it's all about timing.) Honestly, we often say it, but...
Why in life do I fight so hard to avoid going through troubles? Times I know that I am going to have to go through these things. It's scary because some how I believe that I will never get through. As if I am afraid that God will forget me, and I will never get back what I had. It hurts to have to go through these seasons, and no one likes being uncomfortable. We want life to be a cake walk. Looking at God and saying just fill me up don't actually make me go through these hards times just give me the wisdom without actually going through any of it. Unfortunately, that is not the way that life works. We have to get uncomfortable in order to grow. It is not always fun, heck it's never fun.....but I think you could look at it as if God is giving you that provision, that trust that he believes that you can get through these things with him. Our God shall never leave us in the middle of our troubles. He has promised to get us through to the other side. It is also ...
