Before the Morning

Have you heard the new song by Josh Wilson, Before the Morning? If not you NEED to hear it so…here ya go Before the Morning

It is tear jerker for me EVERY TIME I hear it, knowing the story behind the song really gets me. Its a song about a CHD survivor and his parents.

I get tons of different emotions while listening to the brilliant lyrics, I get sad, mad, happy, thankful and blown away by the miracles I have been witness to.

Our friends are in our shoes right now…where we were nearly 3 years ago. Izaak Michael was born in April with a CHD and our dear friends had been handed a similar hand that we were with Trevor. They are feeling pain, anxiety and fear that no parent should ever have to feel. I remember those feelings, all too well. I hate those feelings but know now that there is hope. Here are some of the lyrics of this song that are so important to anyone struggling with the hand you have been dealt.

Would dare you, would you dare, to believe,
that you still have a reason to sing,
’cause the pain you’ve been feeling,
can’t compare to the joy that’s coming

so hold on, you got to wait for the light
press on, just fight the good fight
because the pain you’ve been feeling,
it’s just the dark before the morning

My friend, you know how this all ends
and you know where you’re going,
you just don’t know how you get there
so just say a prayer.
and hold on, cause there’s good who love God,
life is not a snapshot, it might take a little time,
but you’ll see the bigger picture

Being a Heart Mom has changed me. It has made me stronger, trust God more than ever and see beauty  in everyday. We too had a little tiny sick baby in the PCICU and now have a strong, healthy cardiac kid who can take his big brother down any day ;o)
