I\u2019m really grateful I am able to attend church each Sunday as it give me the chance to hear inspiring messages and helps me put everything in my life in perspective by reminding me of my core values and priorities.<\/p>\n<p>Today a young woman sang a beautiful rendition of a song I had never heard before. The lyrics were really touching as they pointed out that when we are going through really difficult things in life we should remember that it\u2019s just a storm we are braving and it\u2019s okay to lean on God and family members or friends to help us through our hard because \u201cwe all need saving sometimes\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>I needed that message today. I tend to be someone who holds her hurts in, and while I am quick to share my hurts with God and lean on Him, I\u2019m not as good at sharing my hurts with others and leaning on them for support.\u00a0 So I\u2019m grateful for the reminder this song gives that hard times are just storms we are braving and we don\u2019t have to brave those storms alone.<\/p>\n<p>I found a video online that plays the song and I included the lyrics below. It&#8217;s worth listening to the song.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dJ9lc_orcGs?rel=0&amp;controls=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000; font-weight: bold;\">We All Need Saving<\/span>\u00a0 <\/strong>(by:\u00a0 Jonathan Michael McLaughlin)<\/p>\n<p>You have got to move on<br \/>\nThis is not the you I know<br \/>\nThis isn&#8217;t real<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s just all you can feel<br \/>\nAnd that&#8217;s the way that feelings go<\/p>\n<p>And whether or not it&#8217;s right or wrong<br \/>\nYou&#8217;ll do what you will do<\/p>\n<p>But when the cloud in the sky starts to pour in your life<br \/>\nIts just a storm you&#8217;re braving<br \/>\nWell don&#8217;t tell yourself<br \/>\nYou can&#8217;t lean on someone<br \/>\nCause we all need saving<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes<\/p>\n<p>Say what you will<br \/>\nBut the time that we fill<br \/>\nWhile we are on the Earth<br \/>\nShould not be alone<br \/>\nWe were meant to be known<br \/>\nYou make me what I&#8217;m worth<br \/>\nBut I can&#8217;t keep you from yourself<br \/>\nYou&#8217;ll do what you will do<\/p>\n<p>But when the cloud in the sky starts to pour in your life<br \/>\nIts just a storm you&#8217;re braving<br \/>\nWell don&#8217;t tell yourself<br \/>\nYou can&#8217;t lean on someone<br \/>\nCause we all need saving<\/p>\n<p>And I don&#8217;t know<br \/>\nWhy it has to be this way<br \/>\nAnd I don&#8217;t know<br \/>\nThe cure<br \/>\nBut please believe someone else has felt this before<\/p>\n<p>But when the cloud in the sky starts to pour in your life<br \/>\nIts just a storm you&#8217;re braving<br \/>\nWell don&#8217;t tell yourself<br \/>\nYou can&#8217;t lean on someone<br \/>\nCause we all need saving<\/p>\n<p>We all need saving<br \/>\nSometimes<br \/>\nSometimes<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Have a wonderful start to your week&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>~Amy Rees Anderson<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love Sunday because it\u2019s always my day I get to refuel my spirituality tank.
