For some reason, every time I type "though" I always type a t at the end then delete it. It's like osmosis. it's weird. Just a little quirky side note that you may remember in the future. It's like, useless information.
Like a shark stops breathing when it's not moving.
In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy's last name is Gail. It says so on the mailbox.
Captain Kirk never said "Beam me up Scottie".
Children grow faster in the spring time.
Pointless information like that. I mean, you take it and... walk around with it? I don't know, maybe you could slap it in front of a politician or something.
Anyway.
My blogger boycott, as you can tell, ended today because I finally got inspiration, and I finally couldn't stand the lonely state of our blog page. So, I was listening to Superchick's song: beauty from pain. Part of the song goes like this:
After all this has passed, i still will remain
After i've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today,
Someday i'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain
My whole world is the pain inside me
The best i can do is just get through the day
When life before is only a memory
I'll wonder why God lets me walk through this place
And though i can't understand why this happened
I know that i will when i look back someday
And see how you've brought beauty from ashes
And made me as gold purified through these flames
And wow. It wrapped up my life. As do a lot of songs lately, but this one was really big for me because I have had so much pain in my life. I watched my mother slip through my fingers. I saw people hurting all the time, and life never really seemed fair to me.
But God brings beauty from pain.
You have to go through pain, and heart ache to be beautiful. Because that's what makes you, you. That's what creates your testimony.
A swan is hideous when it's a baby. It's small and gray and nothing looks right on it. But over time, through the cold harsh winter that ugly duckling turns to something beautiful and captivating.
I don't know why, but I always find when I'm hurting and straying spiritually songs like these come to me. This was one of those times.
This wasn't a terribly long post, nor was it insanely deep. But I think I got something out of it. I think it helped change my life, my future.
Enough said.

Sydders, you're totally right. It's like, all this stuff can only make you stronger. Like sit-ups. You do them every day, and even though it hurts like crazy, and you think you may just throw up, you keep doing them because by the end of the year, or however long you're doing them, you'll be stronger. You'll have abs of steel. It's just like that. Maybe you have pain in your life, but you sure are a beautiful person.
I can't even begin to describe how much that song relates to me as well, but of course in various different circumstances. But after the winter season destroys all life, fresh new growth ALWAYS springs up. Always.
