I haven't updated in a while.. not that anybody reads this anyway...
My birthday's tomorrow... My 18th... I don't think that there's going to be much of a party. My mom always told me that we'd have this huge party and it would be a total surprise. lol... well, my dad doesn't really plan stuff like that. My sis does but she's got a lot on her plate. I need to just stop being selfish and start thinking about what I do get for my bday. My family and their love. *sigh* "Happy 18th Cate" I tell myself. *smile* I'm glad...
on a diff note, this song seems soo appropriate for the after graduation, end of summer, and people moving away time... We've all been through so much. We all grow up, get married and lead diff lives than ever b4. Just pray that our true friends stay close to us. We all need someone who will love us all our lives. My mom had so many friend like that. Ya know, if I were her, I'd have no regrets. I want to live like she did. She was selfless, dilligent, kind, faithful, gentle... ya know this makes me think of the Fruit of the spirit... For those of you who haven't had those drilled into your brains since you were two(lol): they are :
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. I think that's all of them... lol... anyway, i was thinking, we grow up learning all those things that we should live our lives by, and we don't ever really use all of them at once. I've found that in any relationship whether it be friendship, dating, teacher-student, and in the business world, if we apply ALL of those qualities to our lives and live by them, our lives are sooom uch simpler... seriously... it just seems to profound to me, when actually , it's one of the most simple ideas. God sure does know what he's talking about. hmm... maybe I should listen to him. *steps off soap box* lol...
I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself
I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I'm movin' on
I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they're always the same
They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it
They'll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone
I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
