Here's My Life
Our "old" house is packed up, all our stuff will be in storage until we have an address & delivery date to give the movers, (no - we still don't have a house, yet; still waiting for our offer to be either accepted or denied; limbo is apparently my permanent residence,) and I made the 2-day/6-hr-then-7-hr drive home to NC with the kids & the dog while JB stays behind to finish out his job there.
On my drive, I rediscovered a song by my all-time favorite group BarlowGirl that I hadn't heard in about a year and a half. I heard it this time in a whole new way. It voices everything in my head & heart so perfectly...

Once again I said my goodbyes
To those who I love most
My heart feels that familiar pain
As I long for home
'Cause this road is hard
When I feel so far
God I'm crying out tonight
'Cause I've given You my life
But I'm tired and I'm missing what's behind
So once more here's my life
On the day that You called my name
All that I knew changed
I found when I said yes that I'd never be the same
Though the call is hard
You are worth it all
God I'm crying out tonight
'Cause I've given You my life
But I'm tired and I'm missing what's behind
So once more
Even when the tears are falling
When I find I fear the calling
You remind me
Words You've spoken over my life
Promises I've yet to see
You comfort me
God I'm crying out tonight
'Cause I've given You my life
But I'm tired and I'm missing what's behind
So once more, here's my life
You know, it all boils down to one simple thing: either you believe God has a plan for you or you don't. I do, and I know He's taking care of us. Yeah, things are totally nuts, and no, I would never choose this for myself in a million years; but I know God has a plan that's always going to be better than anything I could come up with. So once more, here's my life...

never heard of that song before...those are some good lyrics!
ReplyDeletewhat a great song!!! i hadnt heard it before. keep breathing; keep putting one foot in front of the other; and God will be faithful!!!! i'm clinging to that promise - he is faithful & will not forsake us.
ReplyDeleteIt is just one of my favorite songs (& groups) ever! Their next song on the same CD is just as fabulous; I'm actually blogging about it next...
