Somewhere between last night and today I learned that we have been saying it all wrong - it shouldn't be "You take the good with the bad" it should be "You take the good with the even better."
I love my alone time on my drives home from the beach. As sad as I am to leave the ocean I always find comfort in just thinking, praying and like Kenny says...'the road and the radio'.
I think it is safe to say that the last year of my life has felt like the worlds fastest, scariest, highest, lowest and craziest roller coaster ever. During some of these times it seems like everything is taking a turn for the worst possible outcome but I always realize; whether it takes a minute, day, week, hour or year - everything that happens has taught me many lessons and makes me even better and more secure in handling the roller coaster rides ahead!
On my drive home last night I was listening to Kacey Musgraves (check her out-her songs are awesome!) and in an interview she said something along the lines of,
"An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backwards. When you feel like life is dragging you back with difficulties just know that you are being launched into something great."
She hit the bulls eye on that one huh? These words rang so much truth to me that I listened to the podcast again on my lunch hour today...and again it was just the reassurance I needed!
Tonight as I write this, I am thankful for my weak moments because they are making me stronger, I am thankful for the road and the radio and I am definitely thankful that I am understanding how to take the good with the even better!
xoxo,
Faith
