I Believe

I just heard this song (below) on my Ipod as I was walking this morning, and it really spoke to me.  I don't necessarily feel the same despair as the lyrics portray, but there have definitely been times in my life where I have, and I probably will again.  I love the words in the chorus. I believe in the sun even when it's not shining...what an awesome analogy!  Just like my relationship with God. Sometimes it feels bright and promising and I can see His face shining on me, but when life gets in the way and there's a "cloud cover" that seems to get in the way of connecting with God, I can still be sure that He's real and He's there, even if I can't "see" Him.  Also, the verse about God being silent. I guess I compare that to our current situation where we are trying to get pregnant with our first little blessing, but have been unsuccessful for the past 2 months.  Two months is not a terribly long time, but it's easy to get frustrated and ask God "Why not?", "Why isn't it time yet?".  I believe He has not just good, but GREAT things in store for me and my husband, so we'll just keep waiting on Him.

I believe in love - Barlow Girl

How long will my prayers seem unanswered?
Is there still faith in me to reach the end?
I'm feeling doubt I'm losing faith
But giving up would cost me everything

So I'll stand in the pain and silence
And I'll speak to the dark night

I believe in the sun even when it's not shining
I believe in love even when I don't feel it
And I believe in God even when He is silent
And I, I believe

Though I can't see my stories ending
That doesn't mean the dark night has no end
It's only here that I find faith
And learn to trust the one who writes my days


So I'll stand in the pain and silence
And I'll speak to the dark night

I believe in the sun even when it's not shining
I believe in love even when I don't feel it
And I believe in God even when He is silent
And I, I believe


No dark can consume Light
No death greater than this life
We are not forgotten
Hope is found when we say
Even when He is silent

I believe in the sun even when it's not shining
I believe in love even when I don't feel it
And I believe in God even when He is silent
And I, I believe.
