We all have to grow

Tell me how

How to live on the edge of my seat

Teach me how

How to stand on my own two feet

'Cause I'm tired of falling

and I was a fool

You taught me that love

is a game without rules

So tell me how

How you'd like to walk in my shoes

Teach me how

How to look on the bright side of life

And tell me how

How everything will be alright

'Cause the whole world is changing

and I'm standing still

Small talk and stories

are making me ill

So tell me how

How to believe in myself

But I'm just a kid

and I wanna fit in with the crowd

Mother and Father,

I just wanna make you proud

Maybe its time that I

Grow

But I'm too scared

and the water's too cold to jump in

Mother said, "Dear,

No ones ever been ready to live."

Maybe we just have to

Grow

Trust His Heart

A little something that encouraged me today.
Below is the lyrics from the song Trust His Heart.
I hope it will encourage you too!

All things work for our good
Though sometimes we can't
See how they could
Struggles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes blind us to the truth
Our Father knows what's best for us
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim
And you just can't see him,
Remember He's still on the throne

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When don't see his plan
When you can't trace his hand
Trust His Heart

He sees the master plan
He holds the future in his hand,
Don't live as those who have no hope,
While our hope is found in him.
We see the present clearly
But he sees the first and last
And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me,
To someday be just like him

He alone is faithful and true
He alone knows what is best for you

When you can't trace his hand
When you don't see his plan
When you don't understand
Trust His Heart

I Can't Remember, Can You?

It's like forgetting the words to your favorite song.
You can't believe it;
you were always singing along.


It was so easy and the words so sweet
You can't remember;
You try to feel the beat.

~ Eet by Regina Spektor

Is it worth it all?

I can't do this, Sam.


I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end.

Because how could the end be happy?
How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.

Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now.

Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.


What are we holding onto, Sam?


That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo
and it's worth fighting for.



Indeed it is.
So, keep going.
