To Where YOU Are

I was reminded today of my blog, and I realized that is has been a long time since I have posted something on it. Well, today that changes.

"Do you ever feel like your walking
In a way with no direction
Trying to reach your destination, step by step

Do you ever feel like your fading
Into a world that's always changing
Where it seems your existence isn't real"

These are lyrics to one of my new songs that I am coming out with soon. It is a song that took me by surprise.

I believe that when you write a song, it is an expression of who you are or what has gone on in your life. It is one of the purest ways to describe different things...like the joys in life, pain, or trials. When I started writing this song, I was shocked at what I was putting onto the page. I was seeing words that described being lost and unsure of what is to come, and these lyrics are words of helplessness.

When I read those lyrics, I saw something that was relevant to my life. Something that I am dealing with right now.  It was one of those things where you don't really realize that you are feeling a certain way until something triggers it...and these lyrics triggered it for me. I spent days, weeks, thinking about those lyrics. I wasn't able to continue the song, because I knew that was not a message I could share without something to go with it. That something was hope.

The next part of the lyrics are:

"I will hold on
I will be strong
With You alone"

After recognizing that I felt lost and drowned out in a world that has so much going on in it, I realized that I needed to hold on to something. I needed to be strong, but I knew I cannot do it alone. I need Him!

"You will carry me on
Guide me to where I belong"

I had to grasp that God will bring me through, and that He will guide me to where I belong. And that is it, I do not know what, or to where, God is taking me right now. I know that I am to supposed to be a light where I am right now. But sometimes I like to see what the future has for me...what His will is for my life...where I will be in 10 years from now.

When I took a second to realize that I do not need to know, and that He is in control, I was able to let go and be who I am supposed to be right now, in this very moment. I was able to see that I needed to be that light to my co-workers, friends, and strangers that I come into contact with everyday. It is only when I realize all of this that I can glorify God, because that is our design for life. We are to glorify God with our life, and share by example what we have through the act of worship.

"Holy is your name
Worthy of my praise
I lift my voice to you
God almighty"

That is the place I need to be right there. I need to declare that God is holy, He is worthy of my praise, and that He is almighty. He will take care of me. He is my heavenly Father.

I really love this new song, because it is a story that meets WORSHIP.
