The title of this blog comes from song lyrics that I heard many years ago by Switchfoot. And ever since the first time I heard it, these words have never left me. It makes so much sense. Although you might be standing in a shadow, that is direct evidence that the sun is still shining. I think that this is a great metaphor for my life right now. I am walking through some dark times. But I want these times to be evidence of the sun, and the bright glory of the Lord. And so while this blog will be chronicling some sad times in my life, I pray that it is also a testament to God, and a reminder of the good times in the midst of the shadows.

"I have said these things that in Me you may have peace. In this world, you will have troubles. But take heart, I have overcome the world!" John 16:33

My Playlist

My mind recently has been incredibly jumbled. I feel like my thoughts have been all over the place, one moment sad and then the next overjoyed. One moment completely exhausted, and the next filled with energy. I am usually not like this, and so I don't entirely know how to process it right now. So rather than writing about how I am feeling at this moment (since it is likely to change by the time the post is finished), I thought instead I would mix it up.

"Music is what feeling sounds like." So since I cannot sort out my feelings at the moment, I will give you the music that has been speaking to my soul.

    Hey... I just downloaded the whole list, and I've set up a playlist called "Solidarity with Perrin." I'll enjoy hearing your faves over and over as I pray for you. Aunt Cary
