So after our crazy night on Thursday, (which, by the way, he finally got up to 180. *we treat for anything overnight lower then 150*), I was supposed to drive Friday night 5 hours to my best friend’s house for her shower on Saturday. Now I have a great friend and she suggested I just come up early morning… so I went back home and went to bed. I got up to do the 3 am testing (with the help of my fabulous husband) and got on the road. It wasn’t to bad. I was really actually dreading the drive- 64 to 95 (towards DC) and then over to WV. BUT you know what I loved the quiet *well truth be told it wasn’t really quiet I had the radio blasting the entire time and had the windows down loving the fall air.* I made great time and got to listen to my head, and a lot of songs. Here is one by Jamie O’Neal that never was released but on her cd. All in all it was a FANTASTIC road trip I loved driving and really was proud of myself when I pulled back into the driveway just over 36 hours later. Ill post more about what happen while I was gone and my thoughts on the trip later.. gotta run now but wanted to leave you with this.
Brave~ Jamie O’Neal
I been down about as low as anyone can get
The whole world was closin' in
Couldn't find a friend
No one else could help me
Had to walk through the fire alone
Life has brought me to my knees
And faith had led me home
Let the storm rage around me
I will stand, I will fight
And when the darkness surrounds me
I will make my own light
I may not win every battle
But I'll get stronger with every fear I face
And I'll be brave
I can be courageous and still be so afraid
I've discovered pain is the beginning to a change
Somewhere deep inside us
There's a strength we don't know we have
Just when you think you can't go on
Suddenly there's a path
Let the storm rage around me
I will stand, I will fight
And when the darkness surrounds me
I will make my own light
I may not win every battle
But I'll get stronger with every fear I face
And I'll be brave
Every time I get back up it gets harder to knock me down
'Cause my soul's on steady ground
Let the storm rage around me
I will stand, I will fight
And when the darkness surrounds me
I will make my own light
I may not win every battle
But I'll get stronger with every fear I face
And I'll be brave
I'll be brave
Brave indeed.
ReplyDeleteI love driving with music blaring. I love to sing too. Too bad my singing is HORRIBLE. I cannot wait to hear more abou your trip and your thoughts.
Brave...BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you for sharing those beautiful and encouraging words...looking forward to hearing more about your trip :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the words to that song!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you have to just have those times of sanity, when you are away from all the stress of your daily life. I have never doubted your strength and your bravery. Great song, thanks for sharing it. Love ya
ReplyDeleteI love you. I love that song... but not as much as I love you. You have always been one of the bravest women I've ever know. I am so glad you got to drive fast, turn the music up, and put the windows down. That sounds like a recipe to soothe the soul.
