Beautiful Heartbreak

A few months ago my sister shared this music video with me and it definitely has been in a special place in my heart ever since. As I was getting ready for church today, it came on the Pandora station I was listening to and I have now been thinking about it ALL day! I got a few messages from friends yesterday that have been reading my blog and thought this song's lyrics says everything that I want to tell them, as they struggle with their trials. It has helped me and given me strength. Our struggle to have a baby really has been a beautiful heartbreak. 

I had it all mapped out in front of me, 
Knew just where I wanted to go; 
But life decided to change my plans, 
And I found a mountain in the middle of my road. 
I knew there was no way over it, 
So I searched for a way around; 
Brokenhearted I started climbin', 
And at the top I found... 
Every fear, every doubt, 
All the pain I went through; 
Was the price that I paid to see this view; 
And now that I'm here I would never trade... 
The grace that I feel, 
And the faith that I find; 
Through the bitter-sweet tears, 
And the sleepless nights; 
I used to pray he'd take it all away, 
But instead it became a beautiful heartbreak. 
I never dreamed my heart would make it, 
I thought about turning around; 
But heaven has shown me miracles, 
I never would have seen from the ground. 
Now I take the rain with the sunshine, 
Cause there's one thing that I know; 
He picks up the pieces, 
Along each broken road. 
Every fear, every doubt, 
All the pain I went through; 
Was the price that I paid to see this view; 
And now that I'm here I would never trade... 
The grace that I feel, 
And the faith that I find; 
Through the bitter-sweet tears, 
And the sleepless nights. 
I used to pray he'd take it all away, 
But instead it became a beautiful heartbreak.
