I've head this song a few times now and I really like it! I've said this before, but music has helped me so much as I process this thing called grief! I'm so thankful for the HOPE I have. When I went to youtube I found a link to the story behind this song...why it was written. If you have time, check out this 10 min. video. I love what the mom, Paula, says to her husband..."If we can trust God with our eternity, we've got to trust him with our NOW." What a good reminder. God knows right where I am NOW (not so much physically, but emotionally and mentally) and He's HERE carrying me through the hurt.
Do you wonder why you have to
Feel the things that hurt you
If there’s a God who loves you where is He now
Maybe there are things you can’t see
And all those things are happening
To bring a better ending
Someday somehow you’ll see you’ll see
Would you dare would you dare to believe
That you still have a reason to sing
Cause the pain that you’ve been feeling
It can’t compare to the joy that’s coming
So hold on you gotta wait for the light
Press on and just fight the good fight
Cause the pain that you’ve been feeling
It’s just the dark before the morning
My friend you know how this all ends
You know where you’re going
You just don’t know how you’ll get there
So say a prayer
And hold on cause there’s good for those who love God
But life is not a snapshot
It might take a little time but you’ll see the bigger picture
Once you feel the weight of glory
All your pain will fade to memory
Would you dare would you dare to believe
That you still have a reason to sing
Cause the pain that you’ve been feeling
It can’t compare to the joy that’s coming
Come on you gotta wait for the light
Press on and just fight the good fight
Cause the the pain that you've been feeling
It's just the hurt before the healing
Oh the pain that you’ve been feeling
It’s just the dark before the morning
Thanks for letting me share...
And before you think this blog is only about sad stuff...I've recovered my pictures from the hard drive crash and I'll try to post more regularly :)
Here's a sneak peak of what's BIG in Trent's life these days.

My little boy, Hudson went to be with the Lord in heaven on January 9, 2010 when I was 26 weeks pregnant. I would love to chat with you more, I am also a believer and would love to connect with you. Please e-mail me at locajen@hotmail.com, thank you!

Hi, I too stumbled on your site ... searching for the lyrics to post to a friends facebook. She's going through a rough time right now, but even more so I needed to read the words...
Your children are beautiful, and I'm so sorry two were taken so early... I can't imagine your pain, but hope that you rest your head knowing you'll see them again.
I'll add your blog to my list...its great to meet you! :)

Hi,
I also was looking for the lyrics to this song..and found your blog. I have 4 daughters, the youngest Sparrow Rose would have been 8 this years. Like your little girl she went to the Lord when I was 26 weeks. At the time God gave me this word when I asked Him why He chose to take our little girl we wanted so much. His answer in the still small voice of the comforter was, "She is mine and I wanted her with Me." I rose from my knees full of joy with the knowing that one of my 4 daughters were in heaven with Jesus I felt how can I morn with that answer. I wept for what could have been and still after eight years feel sadness at times when I see a little girl her same age and think she would be at this stage in life now, but at the same time I look forward to what will be when I see my Lords face and my daughter in heaven. I will keep you and your family in my prayers, that the Lord will give the peace and comfort.
Dear Kristin,
Hi. I'm also a Christian, and recently I heard "Dawn Before The Morning" on the radio. I was surprised, because I could connect with so many of the feeling expressed in the lyrics. I searched for the song on the internet, and found your website. You are a huge inspiration to me, because even though I don't have any children, I have a lot of Sunday School students, and if I ever lost even one, I would be devastated. Your strength and faith in face of the loss of two of your own children shows me that you are a truly amazing person. I hope that the Lord Jesus blesses you now and forever, and keeps you and your family safe. God bless you!

May all of your precious hearts be held by our tender loving Father! I love the song, "Before the Morning"! Thank you for your vulnerability and devotion to your family! You are loved indeed!
