One Day You Will

Ray took me to the Kenny Chesney concert on July 23rd it was AMAZING! We were 26 rows from the stage and it was seriously so AWESOME! Here is Kenny supporting the U! He played for an extra hour because Sugarland couldn't make it again AMAZING!!
This is our new favorite band LADY ANTEBELLUM they were awesome! So good that we bought their CD on Friday and we LOVE IT!! You can see how incredibly close we are to the stage THANK YOU HONEY worth every penny!

Miranda Lambert came too but she was way too woman rule everything for me... way too much woman power we have pics but I didn't post them... we liked Lady A and Kenny much better!
So since we purchased thier new CD we have listened to it a dozen times. We were cooking up some goodies for weekend family events on Friday night with their CD playing... when the last track came on we stopped dead in our tracks... it is exactly how we feel now... what we are going thru... the only place I could find the song was on Youtube... so you don't have to watch the video but you can listen to the song its called on day you will... it is exactly how we feel.
also here are the Lyrics.. THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO LOVES US AND ARE HELPING US GET THRU THIS EXTREEMLY HARD TIME IN OUR LIVES WE LOVE YOU!!
One day you will Lyrics
You feel like you're falling backwards
Like you're slippin' through the cracks
Like no one would even notice
If you left this town and never came back
You walk outside and all you see is rain
You look inside and all you feel is pain
And you can't see it now
[Chorus]
But down the road the sun is shining
In every cloud there's a silver lining
Just keep holding on (just keep holding on)
And every heartache makes you stronger
But it won't be much longer
You'll find love, you'll find peace
And the you you're meant to be
I know right now that's not the way you feel
But one day you will
You wake up every morning
and ask yourself What am I doing here anyway
With the weight of all those disappointments
Whispering in your ear
You're just barely hanging by a thread
You wanna scream but you're down to your last breath
And you don't know it yet
[Chorus]
But down the road the sun is shining
In every cloud there's a silver lining
Just keep holding on (just keep holding on)
And every heartache makes you stronger
But it won't be much longer
You'll find love, you'll find peace
And the you you're meant to be
I know right now that's not the way you feel
But one day you will
Find the strength to rise above
You will Find just what you're made of, you're made of
[Chorus]
But down the road the sun is shining
In every cloud there's a silver lining
Just keep holding on (just keep holding on)
And every heartache makes you stronger
But it won't be much longer
You'll find love, you'll find peace
And the you you're meant to be
I know right now that's not the way you feel
But one day you will
One day you will
Oh one day you will

Just One More Day

I love reading about other peoples stories... how they got to where they are now.. what events in life have changed or shaped them. We have been watching a few of my cousins the last few days while my Aunt Patti and Uncle Dirk went on Trek with their stake. They came home last night and I could feel the spirit they carried and see it in their eyes that they had just had a life changing experience. They shared some sacred and inspiring experiences which made me have a new found gratitude for those who have gone before. Little did I know how it would bless my life now...
I have been having a really hard time and am struggling a bit with depression so last night as Ray and I knelt down to pray I spilled all of this lifes heartaches out to him the things I feel and my most inner struggles and heartaches. I let a lot of it out and then he asked me to say our family prayers... I said "I don't want to pray or have anything to do with religion right now" he very lovingly said "Will you please be the one to pray and let Heavenly Father know all you are feeling" I reluctantly did so... it was one of the most humbling and one of the hardest things to face telling God all that I feel and I don't think I have the faith to make it, I can't do it on my own... and as we were kneeling there both in tears. I felt such a gratitude for those who have gone before... those who sacrificed ALL they had because the loved God more than the trails they were going Thur they loved him more than anything life could throw at them, they loved him more than most may understand... I am so Grateful for those who went before I am grateful for the legacy they have left for us to follow and most of all I am grateful for their Faith to keep going when they maybe didn't want to but they did because they had to... I feel much like that I only keep moving because I have to and pray for the faith to make it... just one more day just as they did... I am grateful that because of their faith mine in strengthened.
