You know those times where you're feeling a certain way and you cant quite explain it and then that perfect song starts playing?? hahha yeah I love those moments. Whether it's your to happy for words or you're sad, or you're just not exactly sure what you are but the second that perfect song starts playing...everything seems to make sense again, even if it's only for those few minutes the song is playing.
That kind of happened today. Lately a lot of things have been happening (not all necessarily bad) but just a lot is happening. A lot of things that I don't really know the answer to, or how to solve them and that frustrates me even more! It's kind of been one of those weeks or few weeks where everything seems to be going a little out of wack, and everyone seems on edge and I'm honestly not the dramatic kind to say "my world is falling apart"..cause it's not but a lot of things seem to be going wrong one after the other and its stressful at times. I have felt like "removing" myself from the situation (as in being around people) might be the best option to get away from the chaos/drama, but then I realized something.
I have a lot of random burnt CD's with no name in them so I have no clue what songs are on them and i decided to try to figure some out today and when i put on the first CD it had the song "So Small" by Carrie Underwood.
Now if you've heard this song there is no need to expain any further but for those that maybe havn't. Listen to the song. "Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand. What you've been out there searching for forever is in your hand. And when you figure out Love is all that matters after all, it sure makes everything else seem so small"......We give problems way more attention and importance than they deserve. I love this song because not only does it remind me whats important in my own life but it kind of has the message Im trying to show through this blog. When you realize what is really important, all the good things in your life whether it be people or whatever, everything else that isnt "good" does not really matter much as long as you focus on the good. "what you got if you aint got love, the kind that you just want to give away"...removing myself from the situation would mean removing myself from people I love, people that love me and would also mean "not caring"....and if I cant love and care about my friends then really, I have nothing. "I know it's hard on a rainy day, you wanna shut the world out and just be left alone, but dont run out on your faith"....this I was definitly feeling a lot today! Like I just needed to get away for a while but again that would require leaving people that honeslty would be the only ones who could make me feel stress-free again. My faith, family and my friends are the what matters the most, and my faith will always get me through hard times.
Hearing this song today really made me realize that all these little things that seem to keep going wrong, are nothing but little bumps in the road. And that the answer is never to run away from my faith or my friends, because in the end they are the ones that make everything ok again. They are what's important in my life.
CHALLENGE: I could go through each and every single line in this song and explain why it is amazing but instead I'll have you listen to it and hopefully you'll get the same message. It's ok to be stressed out but don't push away your faith or your loved ones. And everynow and then maybe you'll realize that this HUGE problem that you're letting yourself get wrapped up in is really only a grain of sand. Realize what's important. Have a little faith.
