When a child...Jessica, sending my love and prayers. When a child is sick, mothers are sick at heart. I should know :-0 God, in his faithfulness, gave you a song. I’ll never forget going through a turbulent time and reading this Scripture. “You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.” Psalm 32:7. And that’s not all. That night I walked into a convenient mart and the song by Paul McCartney was playing, Hope of Deliverance. And even though it’s not one of my favorite songs, it was still God’s 2nd confirmation in a day’s time.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273349436461781371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583035984896584839.post-18882385652809640112012-01-23T17:15:04.787-08:002012-01-23T17:15:04.787-08:00It's so hard when you lose your "me time&...It's so hard when you lose your "me time" and get knocked out of your routine!

Sometimes it seems the downs are winning. It's all about balancing & taking time out for yourself...granted not easy to do when you have young children. I'm glad you found something to ease the strain of everyday life. It might seem like a small thing, but many small things add up to one big thing & if it can give you a sense of peace then that's even more worthwhile.<br /><br />I'd never heard this George Harrison song before, but as one who enjoys music while writing poetry, I can understand how it calmed you down.<br />Nice post. <br />Thanks for sharing. I appreciate your visits too.The Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00667034322952126127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583035984896584839.post-42431231171779015782012-01-21T06:25:35.370-08:002012-01-21T06:25:35.370-08:00Jessica I am sure that I had commented on this..Li...Jessica I am sure that I had commented on this..Life is painful and messed up. It gets complicated at the worst of times, and sometimes you have no idea where to go or what to do. Lots of times people just let themselves get lost, dropping into a wide open, huge abyss. But that's why we have to keep trying. We have to push through all that hurts us, work past all our memories that are haunting us. Sometimes the things that hurt us are the things that make us strongest. A life without experience, in my opinion, is no life at all. And that's why I tell everyone that, even when it hurts, never stop yourself from living.<br />I am glad that you have found what you were looking for..God bless u always.Alpana Jaiswalhttp://www.motifsonthewall.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583035984896584839.post-30986611673536193982012-01-20T07:07:58.332-08:002012-01-20T07:07:58.332-08:00Being a 'mom' is difficult enough these da...Being a 'mom' is difficult enough these days, let alone when the family gets sick and you are the instant caretaker. For some reason, we tend to put aside little time for ourselves and our spirituality and after awhile, that takes a toll on us as you said. I'm happy that you found what gave you that extra little boost to get going again. I will certainly keep you in my prayers Jessica :)Mary Hudak-Collins livingthescripture.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181851742870395058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583035984896584839.post-61510767310946381082012-01-19T21:17:18.132-08:002012-01-19T21:17:18.132-08:00A great start to my day dear Jessica...u have give...A great start to my day dear Jessica...u have given me hope to carry on today..God bless you always.Alpana Jaiswalhttp://www.motifsonthewall.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583035984896584839.post-89984432946473165652012-01-19T20:02:59.058-08:002012-01-19T20:02:59.058-08:00Psychology is limitless, and infinitely fascinatin...Psychology is limitless, and infinitely fascinating...<br /><br />"Universe at play inside your DNA<br />You're a billion years old today"<br /><br />That is just incredible.

My mom gave me space to breathe.<br /><br />On George, I like his songs esp. the latter ones. I think he has gone through a lot and that makes him an effective songwriter.<br /><br />You know how music has always been a part of me/us. The heartbeat is the best chant ;) It could be irregular at times, but it's what keeps you alive.<br /><br />And so again I sing with you, "Oh the rising sun and the place that it's coming from<br />Is inside of me and now I feel it constantly<br />Oh the rising sun, oh the rising sun."Melissa Tandochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747825707650125721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583035984896584839.post-65040177672958108062012-01-19T13:07:30.875-08:002012-01-19T13:07:30.875-08:00Thank you for stopping by Tameka..I'm glad you...Thank you for stopping by Tameka..I'm glad you enjoyed the song as well..headed over to your post shortly. :) The power of music should never be underestimated...I believe it can be a conduit. :)Jessica Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450820269367184046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583035984896584839.post-12039629527881821342012-01-19T12:46:05.691-08:002012-01-19T12:46:05.691-08:00I'm glad you were drawn to songs that helped y...I'm glad you were drawn to songs that helped you today.
