my favorite verse in isaiah 55 says "where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow..." while this is true, life is not always full of thorns that are later completely replaced by trees/new growth/something else pretty...sometimes there are thorns on the new growth, like on a rose...the bad things and the good things go hand in hand, but if you look at a rose the bigger part is the pretty part...the thorns are just bumps along the way, and good can't be good without the bad you have to go through to get to it
i see moving away as one huge thorn, but that thorn is attached to something bigger and better than i can see right now
so i am still waiting for my tree, but i am more accepting of the sucky parts along the way because God will use those things to grow me in ways i am not able to imagine
this song ripped apart my insides one night when i listened to it over and over and over again, but now it's deifnitely more encouraging than ripping... and God is amazing
What is life?
A thousand roads, a thousand ways
Why am I so afraid to move
I crossed the line
I'm stepping out so come what may
I give it all cause I'm drawn to You
As long as my heart is beating...
Where You lead me I will follow
Where You lead me I give my life away
Where You lead me I will follow
Forever and a day
Forever and a day
I can't deny Your very presence is my life
And why would I ever turn away
Cause deep inside I know that I cannot rely
On anything less than faith
As long as my heart is beating...
Where You lead me I will follow
Where
You lead me I give my life away
Where You lead me I will follow
Forever and a day
This is all I'm dreaming of
To live completely in Your love
So this is life
Where You lead me I give my life away
Where You lead me I will follow
Forever and a day
Where You lead me I will follow
Where You lead me I give my life away
Where You lead me I will follow
Forever and a day
Forever and a day
