Thank goodness there are those out there that can say it better than me. Listen to this (you may need to turn on your sound...but it'll be worth it, honestly).

STAND BACK UP (by Sugarland)

Go ahead and take your best shot,
Let 'er rip, give it all you've got,
I'm laid out on the floor,
but I've been here before,
I may stumble,
yeah I might fall,
I'm only human but aren't we all?

I might lose my way,
but hear me when I say,
I will stand back up,
Youll know just the moment when I've have enough,
Sometimes I'm afraid,
and I don't feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up.

I've been beaten up and bruised,
I've been kicked right off my shoes,
Been down on my knees more times than you'd believe,
When the darkness tries to get me,
There's a Light that just won't let me,
It might take my pride,
and my tears may fill my eyes,
But I'll stand back up.

I've weathered all these storms,
But I just turn them into wind,
so I can fly,
If what don't kill you makes you stronger,
When I take my last breath,
That's when I'll just give up.
So, go ahead to take your best shot,
Let 'er rip, give it all you've got,
You might win this round but you can't keep me down,
'Cause I'll stand back up,
And you'll know just the moment when I've had enough,
Sometimes I'm afraid and I don't feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up.
You'll know just the moment when I've had enough,
Sometimes I'm afraid and I don't feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up.

Love this song! I've been thinking about you a lot lately and wanted you to know that. Keep your chin up--you are an amazing woman doing an amazing thing! Things will turn out for you in time...I believe that. You have the necessary faith and the Lord is certainly on YOUR side. Merry Christmas Love!!

Christie,
I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I hope you know that I still consider us friends even though I haven't been so good at being a friend to you. Mostly just awkwardness...and busyness...and not knowing what's going on. I know things have been tough for you, although I don't know any details. Just want you to know that I'm still thinking of you. I hope you get this - last time I tried to email you it didn't go through for some reason. Not sure if the email address is old or unused...it finally occurred to me to try commenting here.

Take care...
