This song by Sara Groves deeply resonates with my heart! This past week, I was talking with a friend and I took a moment to reflect on the last several years of my life. You all who've been on this journey with me can attest to the roller coaster it's been (I'm learning that life is one big roller coaster!). Seasons of shock, grief, anger, peace, hope, joy, etc. etc. have rolled in and out, but if I could recap the main seasons it would be these: Grief, Healing, Hope.

The below song (the song that's playing now) perfectly describes the state of my heart. Over a year ago, I had faith that my heart would heal and that I'd have renewed hope, but I didn't know when it would actually happen or what I'd feel like. Now, my faith has turned to experience! I know it's taken time and healing is a process, but I can confidently say that my heart has climbed the mountain of grief and lies on the other side of it!!! Hope, trust, and faith have been restored and renewed. Like this song says, "Thank you, Lord!" And thank you to my friends and family--I would not be able to celebrate this without you!

So, here are the lyrics for ya...
---------------------------------

Something Changed, Sara Groves
Something changed inside me broke wide open all spilled out
Till I had no doubt that something changed

Never would have believed it till I felt it in my own heart
In the deepest part the healing came

And I cannot make it
And I cannot fake it
And I can't afford it
But it's mine

Something so amazing in a heart so dark and dim
When a wall falls down and the light comes in

And I cannot make it
And I cannot fake it
And I can't afford it
But it's mine
