Yesterday the rains came in. Lots of rain. Black clouds over head. I was driving through the middle of it. Zero visibility around 6 o'clock, the roads super slushy, and cars driving home from work, and out to church, all moving at a snail pace. I cant even see the lines on the road, and find I'm weaving into both lanes. I realize, "This is Idiot Weather." Idiot. Why am I continuing on this journey, driven to my destination. I realized I was fighting through the biggest storm of the season, just above my head. I kept going.

Because the car in front of me was still going. Their brake lights my guide. Even when I felt that urge to merge off to the side, I kept going. My rear view mirror reflecting the cars behind me. They were depending on my lights to guide them through this storm too. That kept me going.

I don't always post music, country music at that! But this one was just playing on Pandora, and it was a moment. "Stand"

Cause when push comes to shove, You taste what you're made of, You might bend till you break, Cause it's 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.... Everytime you get up, And get back in the race, One more small piece of you, Starts to fall into place.
