blinded

a little break today from women's issues.

a song i have loved for a while is i believe in love by barlowgirl. it is a really beautiful song to listen to, but when you really pay attention to the words it goes to a whole new level. and as i think about what happened in our country eight years ago today i imagine there are many who have felt exactly what this song speaks of. if you get a chance try to listen to the song. i think you can find it on youtube. i am going to simply post the lyrics. maybe these words will meet you where you are now.

God is there and God is good even when i cannot see Him or His goodness!

How long will my prayers seem unanswered?
Is there still faith in me to reach the end?
I'm feeling doubt I'm losing faith
But giving up would cost me everything
So I'll stand in the pain and silence
And I'll speak to the dark night

I believe in the sun even when it's not shining
I believe in love even when I don't feel it
And I believe in God even when He is silent
And I, I believe

Though I can't see my story's ending
That doesn't mean the dark night has no end
It's only here that I find faith
And learn to trust the one who writes my days
So I'll stand in the pain and silence
And I'll speak to the dark night

I believe in the sun even when it's not shining
I believe in love even when I don't feel it
And I believe in God even when He is silent
And I, I believe
No dark can consume Light
No death greater than this life
We are not forgotten
Hope is found when we say
Even when He is silent

I believe in the sun even when it's not shining
I believe in love even when I don't feel it
And I believe in God even when He is silent
And I, I believe.
I believe
