I have never really been a big music person. Ask me who my favorite band is and I couldn't really tell you. Ask me what music I have been listening to lately and my reply would be 'Whatever Flex Thunderstache and Rowan have been playing.'
One thing I do love about music is it's ability to put words to feelings, emotions, experiences I have had, but not been able to find the words for myself. Thinking on this I have realised that every cycle I have done has had a song. One that I put on repeat and listen to over and over again. One that speaks to where I am at in the journey.
For round one, the song was 'Your gonna be ok' by Jen and Brian Johnson. I didn't actually start listening to this song until the round had unexpectedly ended but I found so much comfort in its words.
I know your heart is heavy from those nights
Just remember that you're a fighter, a fighter
You never know just what tomorrow holds
And you're stronger than you know
Stronger than you know
By round 2 I could see the blessings that had come from the wait. A stronger marriage and a deeper faith. I listened to 'take courage' by Bethal church.
Take courage my heart
Stay steadfast my soul
He's in the waiting
Hold onto your hope
As your triumph unfolds
He's never failing
During the 3rd round I was full of hope and expectation. I would lie in bed at night listening to 'Yahweh, Pt. 3 - the Meteting' by Cindy Ruakere.
I would focus on my breathing and think about how God has given us the breath of life.
(Yes those are birth control pills. The journey towards having a baby begins with preventing you from having a baby, strange right!)
And today the journey begins....again.
One last time.
I have found my song
'Kia Kaha' by Link
Much love,
Alana, Flex Thunderstache, Frankie and Eddie
