One of my favorite songs at the moment is Everything Falls by Fee. It lifts my spirits every time I hear it because it reminds me that no matter what is going on in my life, how bad I'm feeling, or how bad life seems, God is always there right beside me and His arms will hold me together when I feel like I can no longer hold myself together.
At the end of September, I was rear-ended and since my back has been tight continually and sore and in pain throughout the day. Sometimes I feel like doing nothing because of the pain I feel, but I know I have to keep focused on what I need to accomplish at that moment and move forward. But at those times when I feel like I cannot deal with the pain and the frustration of my back, I must remember that God's arms will hold me up, even when I feel my boday will not.
My pain also reminds me of my dad. He has been in constant back pain for years and the doctors have no idea why. I know his pain is a million times greater than my pain because of the amount of pain killers he takes every day. Yet, I have never heard him complain about his pain. Sam will tell you that I complain to him about my back probably daily. I am amazed at my dad's strength to push the pain aside and stay focused on his day. He doesn't complain about it, but pushes forward. I am sure he is discouraged at the thought of never being pain-free (that is until he is with our eternal Father forever in Heaven), but he does not show that discouragement to the world. He still finds joy and he allows God to hold his boday and spirit together. He is my inspiration during the day to continue on in my own pain.
Below is the video for the song.
