What you got if you ain't got love
the kind that you just want to give away
It's okay to open up, go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day you want to shut the world out and just be left alone
But don't run out on your faith
'Cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
is just a grain of sand
What you've been up there searching for forever
is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else seem so small
It's so easy to get lost inside a problem
that seems so big at the time, it's like a river that's so wide it swallows you whole.
While you sit around thinking about what you can't change and worrying about all the wrong things
time's flying by, moving so fast
you better make it count
'cause you can't get it back
the kind that you just want to give away
It's okay to open up, go ahead and let the light shine through

This song has been speaking to my soul all day. Did you hear what I heard?? X is just a grain of sand. God will take me to the mountain, I don't have to climb it by myself! My Dad has always said be mad for 5 minutes and then let it go. I needed to have a good fit, but I learned something once it was all out. I have a right to be angry, but I will not give X the right to ruin my new life in consuming anger.
I haveeverything everyone, that matters. Space may be tight, but I've missed my family like crazy for years. I may not have all the details planned, but I have a job interview with a Christian company tomorrow that I'm really excited about; it's a start. I have been covered in prayer, my camp has been circled by angels, bloggers, friends, that have made all the difference.
Time to stop sweatin the small stuff.

I'll be praying about that job! Good luck:)
that reminds me of the scripture - beware the little foxes who spoil the vine... (ok, so it's not a direct quote, but I can't remember exactly where it's found and I'm supposed to be doing housework.. grins)
It really is the little things that we let add up to be big mountains that eat at us until we're totally worn down.
Good luck at the interview!
a tantrum is a healthy thing for about 5 minutes .. like dad says .. then move on ..
prayers about the job .. His will
Good Job Willow Tree. Keep on truckin'. Good luck in the interview.
BTW, I tagged you in my most recent blog post. Head over there and check it out.
Good girl! Are you dancing it out?
(do you watch Grey's, they like to dance out the problems.)
That girl can SING can't she, makes you want to reach up and praise. And yes, that mountain is just a grain of sand!!!
Wishing you lots and lots of luck tomorrow.
Oh Boy did getting all that anger out help!!! Glad to see you are not sweatin the small stuff!!! I will pray for your job interview. Good Luck!!!
Carolynn,
Ron was reading your post to me the other day and I said to him..she needs to throw an all out temper fit and get it out of her system so she can see the blessings on the other side of the troubles.. My ex used to love to try and get to me... he knew what buttons to push and for a while a good temper tantrum helped me to get past it and see the wonderful things I still had in my life. After a few of those tantrums I realized that he couldn't affect my life or my choices all he could really do was run off at the mouth and threaten this or that.. that is when he stopped being able to get to me. Hang in there girl all my prayers and best positive wishes go out to you and your kids I know you can make it. Trust God, trust yourself.
Take care
Tammy
That job opportunity sounds fabulous. They would be fools not to hire a girl with your faith, enthusiasm, and humor.
Knock their socks off, like I know you can. :)
