Breathe.

I am grateful for a broken heart because now instead of being prone to be stubborn and pave it's own course it will be more subject to listen and to be led towards many new and great possibilities. When everything falls through that is when every possibility becomes open and there are many new roads for you to take. There is opportunity at every turn. For me this can often be overwhelming but I also am excited because if I allow myself to be led it will bring great things and adventures. Life is an adventure. Life is for our growth and learning. I have learned. I learned much. I learned to love. If I hadn't loved I wouldn't hurt so much but I find peace in that pain because I know I grow from it and I know I will once again rise triumphant from the dark having grown even more. It doesn't make the pain easier, only bearable. But in the end I am still me. I have an end goal that will never change. If I listen I'll be led down a path. If I don't I will only wander in circles. And now as I start down this new path I am waiting to hear the Voice that will lead me along or will change my course. But I know it will come and I know it will bring peace. Just like a songbird on a mountain trail or the wind rushing through the pines. I'll hear it, I'll feel it and I'll follow it. 

I watched the beauty of the sunset today. It set and darkness came but the darkness was warm and calm and that only means that the sun has a new chance to rise tomorrow. And it will. Tomorrow is a new day. A day for a new perspective. A day for new opportunity. A day for new adventure. A day to breathe again.

I listened to a speaker, a cameraman for National Geographic. He said we were given our breath as a reminder from God about how we were to live life. We take it all in and give it all back. Take it all in. Give it all back.

I love this song! It seriously brings me just absolute joy. I feel like it's fitting for many reasons as well. Gotta love me some Ben.
