music monday// every mile mattered

heyyyaaa! 
i hope you've been doing great! 
today i'm sharing one of nicole nordeman's songs that is so poignant and has totally captured my heart 
these days.

enjoy! 


every mile mattered~ nicole nordeman

Spread the map on the table, with the coffee stain

Put your finger on the places, show me where you've been

Is that California, where your teardrops dried?

You drew a circle around Georgia, can you tell me why?
I see shoulda beens, coulda beens

Written all over your face (your face, your face)

Wrong turns and bridges burned

Things you wanna change
It's history

You can't rewrite it

You're not meant to be trapped inside it

Every tear brought you here

Every sorrow gathered
Yeah, it's history
And every mile mattered
Get the box off the top shelf, with the black and white

Snapshots of your old self, in a better light

Ghosts and regrets back again, I can see it in your eyes

Send them home, let 'em go

Don't you think it’s time? Yeah
It's history

You can't rewrite it

You're not meant to be trapped inside it

Every tear brought you here

Every sorrow gathered
It's history
And every mile
And every road and every bend

Every bruise and bitter end

All you squandered, all you spent

It mattered, it mattered

Mercy always finds a way
To wrap your blisters up in grace
And every highway you'd erase
It mattered, it mattered
But it's history

It don't define you

You're free to leave

It all behind you

Every tear brought you here
Every sorrow gathered
It's history
And every mile mattered
Every mile mattered



"I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." ~ phillipians 4:13

"You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in Your bottle. You have recorded each one in Your book." // psalm 56:8

"Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."// hebrews 4:16
no matter where you have been, no matter what happened, no matter what happened to you, no matter what you wish you did or didn't do, no matter what you wish you said or didnt get to say or chose not to say, every mile you have covered in this life of yours mattered...the good, bad, difficult, horrible, confusing, exhilarating, joyful moments all mesh together in a way that has led you to be where you are now.

every
single
mile
you
have
travelled
mattered

and you my darling, you absolutly matter regadless of how yucky you feel sometimes. :)
here's to a lovely week!

xoxo,
Delali.
