Thankful Thursdays: I'm not giving up


So back in another lifetime, I used to post on a blog of mine that was anonymous to the world wide web.  I was still posting on that one when I created this one, so when I came across Jason Mraz’ new video {at the time} "I Won't Give Up", I had to post it. I mentioned how I couldn’t help but think of my husband and of the life we’ve lived through.  Married couples go through much, but we have lived a life most don't ever expect to live.  
I can say, despite all the craziness that has happened, some things remain, and the one being this four letter word called Love. How can I rightly convey all that I have learned; all that I am grateful for? My husband, he teaches me so much and says so much and loves so much, despite of who I am, or really, of what I’ve done.  When I struggle with life or with what I think of me, Jus often says or does things that paint such a beautiful picture of who God is…and I am reminded once again of a powerful story of Love...of Truth...and of Grace...

of the One who transforms.


Last week, we set Storytellers to tape on our dvr and Jason Mraz was going through a few of his songs, talking about the behind the scenes on each. At first, we did it for Cj because he loves watching, or rather playing his guitar, with the concerts {seriously? what toddler is watching palladia as much as mine??} but then Jus and I really liked this song and truthfully, I just wanted to hear the story behind it.
To Write Love On Her Arms  {I will have to repost from my old blog about them at another time} shared this on Facebook last night and I was just reminded about all of these things, all over again. 


I had to share.


"I've been given everything...and yet, one still experiences melancholy"


There are a many, many songs that capture the emotions and brilliantly speak the heart's language. If I were to go into each of them and why they captivate me for whatever reason that might be, I would have to dedicate an entire blog to such a project {ooh, an idea}.  So, for the time being, this is just one of the many that resonate with my being. 


If you are interested, this is the original video that caught my attention...
