Troy downloaded a new Itune the other day and I absolutely love it!  I had heard a snippet of it on Klove (89.9 for you Central Kyians) and I didn’t have enough to Shazaam it to figure out what it was.  It is a POWERFUL ballad by SuperChick.  I think this could be my anthem.

Stand in the Rain by SuperChick Lyrics

She never slows down
She doesn’t know why but
she knows that when
She’s all alone feels
Like it’s all coming down
She won’t turn around
The shadows are long
And she fears if she cries
That first tear
The tears will not stop
Raining down

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it’s all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won’t drown
And one day what’s lost can be found
You stand in the rain

She won’t make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself
And the fears whispering
If she stands, she’ll fall down
She wants to be found but
The only way out is through
everything she’s running from
Wants to give up and lie down

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it’s all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won’t drown
And one day what’s lost can be found
You stand in the rain

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it’s all crashing down
Stand through the pain
You won’t drown
And one day what’s lost can be found

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it’s all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won’t drown
And one day what’s lost can be found
You stand in the rain

I think if I could get in touch with Kate Gosselin I would send her this song.  I wish I had had it to inspire me in the fall.  This is truly what I did.  I stood.  In the face of the “inevitable” when the whole world was screaming for me to do what is “acceptable” in their eyes… I said no.  I did not accept that divorce HAD to be inevitable.  That forgiveness was lost.  I did not accept that I had no say.  I even told “the nanny” that I would win and I did.  I knew who I was standing FOR and who was standing WITH me and I know that HE is the one person who cannot be defeated.

If there is anything that God has taught me in the past three years it is how to STAND.  Through turbulent pregnancies, traumatic births, NICU’s, ICU’s, hospitals, doctors, tests, nannies, I never gave up.  I may have been disillusioned and beaten down but I was not broken.  Now… I feel like there is a certain peace that comes with knowing… I lived.  Not only did I LIVE… I succeeded, excelled and soared through it.  I have to think that it is like a beautiful tree.  A tree must see all the seasons before it can bloom.  It must stand in the rain ( a LOT of rain) for it to grow tall and strong.  It must plant it roots deeply on a firm foundation so that when the storms come it remains standing.

So… if you find this post and you are struggling in your marriage, in your life, if you are dealing with a tragedy or an illness in your family… PLEASE… STAND in the rain.  It will hurt worse than anything you have ever known.  It will feel like you have ripped your heart out through your throat.  You will cry oceans of tears but you will NOT drown.  I promise.  Stand through the pain… and one day what’s lost CAN BE FOUND!  Find yourself on your face.  Cry out to the one person who CAN shelter you through ANY storm.  Stand on HIS promises and you will never fall.
