Blog in Song

Image
I feel that there will be more blogs like my most recent coming in the next few days/weeks. I'm in a healing process and music is my way of healing. Sad, happy, angry... who knows where the emotions will take me musically, but I'm just gonna go with it. Here is what I feel I need right now: Lift Me Up By Kate Voegele This road is anything but simple Twisted like a riddle I've seen high and I've seen low So loud, the voices of all my doubts Telling me to give up, to pack up and leave town Even so, I had to believe Impossible means nothing to me, yeah So can you lift me up, Turn the ashes into flames ‘Cause I have overcome More than words will ever say And I've been given hope That there's a light on up the hall And that a day will come When the fight is won And I think that day has just begun Somewhere, every body starts there I'm counting on a small prayer, Lost in a nightmare But I'm here, and suddenly it's so clear Th...

Today, I feel...

This is how I'm feeling today. I've had this song on repeat for about 30 minutes now... Guess I need to hear it for a reason. High Road By Kate Voegele All I can say is things didn't go as I planned Seems every day I'm learning is out of my hands And coming to terms is harder than ever before When you would give anything to know what all of this is for Well there are things that I cannot change now But these are strings that I will untangle So gimme a high road to rise up and follow I'll keep my eyes closed and breathe And gimme a tightrope to walk from the highest peak And I'll never look down at my feet Somebody said if you can let down your pride You won't be afraid, fear's not a safe place to hide And I was convinced I'd never win your love, no I didn't see all I really needed was my own And there are things that I cannot explain now But it's not too late and I am so thankful And I got a high road to rise up and...

New Year...New Blog... Newness.

Hello 2012! Welcome! Good to see a new face! Many new things on the horizon... new changes... renewed spirit... A breath of fresh air! I feel so many good things coming this year. 2011 was a somewhat turbulent year for me emotionally and I'm glad it's come to an end and I'm thankful for all that I learned from it. I've missed blogging and I really should do it more often. I know I've said that before, but things get in the way and time just flies by you. So, I promise this to you... I will blog at least once a month. A reasonable and attainable goal for me. :) I'll try and catch you up on all that is going on soon...

Momma does it again!

Image
Just a little video my mom sent me this morning that she thought I would enjoy. I did. Now I will share it with you because like I told her, "This is too good not to share." Here are the lyrics: We pray for blessings We pray for peace Comfort for family, protection while we sleep We pray for healing, for prosperity We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering All the while, You hear each spoken need Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things 'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops What if Your healing comes through tears What if a thousand sleepless nights Are what it takes to know You’re near What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise We pray for wisdom Your voice to hear And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love As if every promise from Your Word is not enough All the while, You hear each desperate plea And long that we'd have fa...

A mother always knows best!

Today, as my day progressed on slowly through the mundane afternoon, my mother sent me an email. She happened upon a blog that spoke to her and particularly today. It was about marriage and this lady's relationship with her husband. Naturally, I wanted to shrug off the email because there are times I'm happy I'm single, but then there are those days where ALL I want is to share my life with someone who deserves me and who I deserve right back and those days I prefer not to dwell too hard on that fact. My mom wanted my opinion on her writing (she can be sneaky like that; masking her ulterior motive with a generic request). So, I read the blog. Today, I was happy with my single-dom, until this email... until this blog. The Bravest & Most Beautiful Affair H e lies stretc hed out in the dark and I lay long beside him. Listen to him breathe… the only sound there is. This is an epic, everyday love story, one written with years and skin and the rings. In...

Many the Miles

I find this song totally appropriate right now. And it makes me smile, so I'll share it with you. There's too many things that I haven't done yet Too many sunsets I haven't seen You can't waste the day wishing it'd slow down You would've thought by now I'd have learned something I made up my mind when I was a young girl I've been given this one world I won't worry it away But now and again I lose sight of the good life I get stuck in a low light But then Love comes in How far do I have to go to get to you Many the miles Many the miles How far do I have to go to get to you Many the miles But send me the miles and I'll be happy to follow you Love I do what I can wherever I end up To keep giving my good love And spreading it around Cause I've had my fair share of take care and goodbyes I've learned how to cry And I'm better for that Sing how far do I have to go to get to you Ma...

Art

I've blogged about this before, but it's been a little bit. I'm interested in photography. The art of capturing a image, a moment in time to preserve for all of time. I'm addicted. I stopped taking pictures for a while, but recently I've picked it back up. I'd really like to see where I can take this. Not as a means to make money; just as my little form of expression. Another form of release for my creative. I wanted to share them with you.
