Hi, my name is Garreth
So there are a lot of things that make me sad. Not sad like I want to cry or sad like I'm gonna be all pitiful about crap but sad because there's just some stuff that should never happen. At least there are things that shouldn't happen to us if we're Christian. Like personally.
For example, I've been listening to Shawn McDonald this week religiously and it's almost like I'm falling in love with Christ all over again. Well not even like that; it's like I'm falling in love with Him for the first time. Well the last song on the CD I have is a cover of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. He sings it so well and I have never even thought of it in a Christian sense. Listening to it you can hear all kind of metaphors that can make it so Christian and all, but I don't really care about all that anymore. I don't want to analyze what stuff means anymore and ruin the fact that I hear Love dripping from the words and music my God allows me to enjoy.
There are 2 parts of this song that get me everytimeI hear him sing it. The first one is "those of you who dare to dream, your dreams really can come true." For the most part I am cynical about everything and get down about the fact that people aren't nicer, that days aren't happier and that smiles aren't more plentiful. I've always just said that it's just how I am and I can't change it, but I think that a cop out. I have a few dreams that I really, really, really want to come true. More than anyone can imagine I want them to come true. But somehow when a little bit of Hope or a glimpse of a dream maybe coming true, I just tune it out and tell myself it won't happen. That's what makes me sad.
I love God. God loves me. But I don't believe He wants me to have my dreams come true. That makes me sad. I think I'm going to change that or maybe He has already started changing that. Either way there's hope there right? God is so good. If He were my neighbor I would cut His grass for free.
