Stand

Another one of my favorite artists is the country group Rascal Flatts. Their music has a way of touching everyone in a different way. Two songs of theirs in particular really touched me this past week as I was having a rough week.

First on is called "Stand" and if you listen close to the lyrics you will see what I am referring to. They have depth and feeling. For example, here is what I got out of listening to this song earlier today.

Our life is a story; its a fight to get through and you can either choose to win or lose. Hopefully we call choose to win the fight and that is what this song is about. Winning the fight as we battle life. There are times where we all have moments where we want to give up and want the story to end....and that is the point where we get down on our knees and pray for the strength to "keep holdin' on" and then you STAND!

It also reminds me of watching a toddler learn how to walk. They keep falling down, they come crying to you and then they get up and try again. And eventually they learn to stand, and then they walk around the room using furniture, and then they walk all on their own. They keep falling down, but they also keep getting up.

Each time we get up and keep moving on we find more and more strength to keep facing those tough patches in life and we find out how strong we truly are, and everything slowly "falls into place"

Cause when push comes to shove, You taste what you're made of
You might bend til you break, cause its all you can take
On your knees you look UP, Decide you've had enough
You get mad, You get strong,Wipe your hands, shake it off  
Then you stand, then you STAND!



ENJOY!
