Just cry...

Good afternoon lovees! It's another beautiful day! I love the smell of rain. There's something cleansing about a good rain!

You know what else is cleansing? A good cry. Tears are beautiful raindrops from our souls. Tears speak words sometimes our mouths can't utter. Tears are prayers our hearts can't speak. Tears are NOT a sign of weakness. Tears are NOT ugly or unattractive. Tears do not make you weak, no matter what you've been told.

I've said a million times that I hate tears. And on some level I do. But I don't think it's tears so much that I'm sick of. Perhaps more that I'm sick of crying. Or having cause to. But I am learning that sometimes, I just have to let them fall. Let them heal. Let my tears do the praying I sometimes can't.  I know God will wipe my tears when there's no one else around to do so.

Maybe you're like me and find tears weak at times. Maybe you've been told to be strong for too long. One of my favorite songs by Mandisa is entitled Just Cry...the first verse goes as follows...

Why you gotta act so strong
Go ahead and take off your brave face
Why you tellin' me that nothing's wrong
It's obvious you're not in a good place
Who's tellin' you to keep it all inside
And never let those feelings
Get past the corner of your eye

I'm telling you today, it's ok. Go ahead and cry. Let those prayers roll down your cheek. If you need a shoulder to cry on, I'll lend you mine...

Have a blessed day friends!!

Love and hugs...
