It was then that I carried you...

One of my best friends introduced me to a song this morning that made my heart cry. Im going thru a pretty tough time right now. Fighting for my happiness! I have fought harder battles, ones that make this one seem so silly but, its still hard when something is trying to steal your joy! The easiest thing to do is to surrender to the sadness and the darkness but, I have never been that girl to surrender to anything. Im fighting because I have great friends that see that I am worth fighting for even when I dont exactly feel that way.

Footprints in the sand has always had a place in my heart. "It was then that I carried you" has always been my favorite part. It makes me think of times when I made it through something that was to the human eye impossible or unsurvivable and I always think that to myself "It was then that he carried me" Its so inspirational to know that we all have someone who can lift us out of anything, anytime, anywhere. When you think of having someone that strong, that powerful on your side it puts things into a whole new light. There is no where I can go that he wont be right there. No amount of sadness or darkness can scare him away. Today, that makes my heart cry out because while Im not proud of where I am, I know one day I will turn around and wonder how in the world I climbed out of that mess and that same line of that same poem will ring in my head "IT was then that I carried you"

Thank you to Autumn for being such an inspirational woman. For your faith in God and for your faith in me. For carrying me through sad times and for reminding me that even when its too much for you or I to handle that there is someone ALWAYS there to carry us out. Im so glad that you and Jesus have my back!

Here are the beautiful lyrics to the song

You walked with me
Footprints in the sand
And helped me understand
Where I’m going
You walked with me
When I was all alone
With so much I no along the way
Then I heard you say

I promise you
I’m always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I’ll carry you
When you need a friend
You’ll find my footprints in the sand

I see my life
Flash across the sky
So many times have I
Been so afraid
And just when I
Have thought I’ve lost my way

You give me strength to carry on
That’s when I heard you say

I promise you
I’m always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I’ll carry you
When you need a friend
You’ll find my footprints in the sand

When I’m weary
Well I no you’ll be there
And I can feel you
When you say

I promise you
I’m always there
When your heart is full of sadness and despair
I’ll carry you
When you need a friend
You’ll find my footprints in the sand
