August 7

As I was driving this morning, I heard a familiar Rascal Flatts song on the radio. Boiled down to its simplest syrup, Stand is about weathering the bigger storms of life. Needless to say, I relate to the words. A lot.

I absotively, posolutely know what it's like to feel like a candle in a hurricane. A candle in a two-year hurricane, in fact. I know what it feels like to be pushed past what I feel like I can take.

But I also know what it feels like to stand.

And thank you God for helping me to stand not just once, but over and over and over again throughout the course of my life on this earth.
