Lyrics

I received this email this morning from someone who has been reading my blog.  I wanted to share this story about her angels speaking to her today. 

I have always loved music and it is always playing in my house.  there is something about music that has always spoken to my heart.  But this morning I knew it was my angels talking to me.  I have been having a really heard time lately with the fact that we have been unemployed for so long.  I have been married for 7 years and I can think of one year in my entire marriage that we haven't struggled with finances.  We just don't make enough money and today it was really upsetting me.  I get depressed about how hard it is and how tired I am of dealing with this struggle. I know that this trial is for my good but I am so tired.

I went for a walk this morning to try and clear my head.  I put my ear buds in and started walking.   I know that my angels were communicating to me today through music.  As the tears started flowing I noticed a change in the music.  The music began to slow down and three very specific songs came on. The first one was Carrie Underwood's Temporary Home.  The words that stuck out to me were... "this is my temporary home, it's not where I belong.  Windows and rooms that I'm passing through.  this was just a stop on the way to where I'm going.  I'm not afraid because I know this is my temporary home."  

The next song on the radio was Demi Lovato's Give you heart a Break. These lyrics stood out to me "Don't wanna break your heart.  Wanna give your heat a break... There's just one life to live. And there's no time to wait, to wait. So let me give your heart a break.  Let me give your heart a break. There's just so much you can take. Give your heart a break."

And the third was Rascal Flatts Bless the Broken Road.  I have always loved this song. I have always thought of it as someone singing this to someone they loved but today I knew that it was talking about my journey here on the earth.  In the song he sings about finding true love. s i was listening to this song my angel spoke to me and told me "There is no truer love than God's love and the You in this song is Heavenly Father."

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you 
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
 I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true. 
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

Trials in this life are difficult and they will bring us to our knees.  If we have the eyes to see and the ears to hear we will see and hear our angels.  They are all around us and they are rooting for us.  They want us to return to Heavenly Father and to be able to be in live in His presence again. I am grateful for this experience today.  I needed it.
