Every so often, a song comes along that feels like a translation of your soul and heart.  This is that song for me.  Thank you, Emily, for sharing it with me :)

Beautiful Heartbreak
 by Hilary Weeks & Tyler Castleton

I had it all mapped out in front of me, knew just where I wanted to go,
But I’ve decided to change my plans, and I found a mountain in the middle of my road.
I knew there was no way to move it, so I searched for a way around.
Broken hearted I started climbing and at the top I found…

Every fear, every doubt, all the pain I went through was the price that I paid to see this view
And now that I’m here, I would never trade
The grace that I feel, and the faith that I find
Through the bittersweet tears and the sleepless nights.
I used to pray he’d take it all away.
But instead it became a beautiful heartbreak.

I never dreamed my heart would make it, and I thought about turning around.
But heaven has shown me miracles I never would have seen from the ground.
Now I take the rain with the sunshine, cuz there’s one thing that I know...
He picks up the pieces along each broken road.

Every fear, every doubt, all the pain I went through was the price that I paid to see this view
And now that I’m here, I would never trade
The grace that I feel and the faith that I find
Through the bittersweet tears and the sleepless nights.
I used to pray he’d take it all away.
But instead it became a beautiful heartbreak. 

I would never trade the grace that I feel and the faith that I find
Through the bittersweet tears and the sleepless nights.
I used to pray he’d take it all away.
But instead it became a beautiful heartbreak.
