Strong Girl

Strong Girl
It's time to move on girl
Dont try to stay
Just walk away
You are strong Girl
Dont bend your knees girl
Dont count your tears
And cry yourself to sleep
It's time to be strong
And move on.

Sweet Girl
You are sweet girl
Dont harden your soft heart
Dont miss this fresh start
You are sweet girl
Just love who you are
And open your arms
Your future's not far
Sweet girl
Smile at life
And embrace this new sight

Free girl
Its time to be free girl
Spread out your wings
Breath the life that it brings
Run fast and run strong
Dont look back long
You are free girl
You are ready to fly girl
Step off the ledge
Don't be fooled by the dread
Just set yourself free girl
Let go of it all
And let yourself fall

Strong Girl
Youve moved on girl
Its time to see
Who youre suppose to be
No more hiding in fear
Or counting your tears
Love who you are
Because you are who you are
And thats all you can be
So stand up strong
And set your self free

Not in control

I've realized this past week that i am really not in control of my life. That I am only responsible for what has been placed in my hands. The question is what do I do with the great beautiful things I have been given.

It boils down to the day to day, the conversations, the time spent, the friendships recognized and enjoyed. It all boils down to that. It involves just doing what you love and watching life being born out of it. It entails you just walking forward in who you are with the people you are around and watching miracles happen.

By just being, God has suddenly poured a well spring life and friends, and new opportunities into my lap! I am so overwhelmed and amazed. I see now that my life is really not my own, that i can only do so much.

Its a beautiful, wonderful peace giving thought. And yet still a weighty repsonisiblity.

Someone said to me the other day, life is not accepting the goodness of God but still waiting for the culmination of your dreams to happen. Life is accepting the goodness of God and being content in the season you are in. There is no better time than now, than today, than this second. And there is nothing better than to enjoy the people, the places, the circumstances that surround you in this moment. This is life! grab ahold!!!

Growing up

its time to grow up.
to stop looking, longing for childish desires
its time to grow up
to no longer look to you nor you nor you
for who i am, or who i should be or want to be or try to be
its time to grow up
to be the woman i long to be
strong
secure
and seeking the One who gives me all my worth
its time to grow up
move on
past all these childish desires
i will grow up
by breaking down my insecurities
letting go
giving in to unknown
and accepting peace in what i can not control
its time to grow up
move on
and let go of all i use to long for

Waves

it comes and goes like waves
yesterday i was ok
today...
today is a different wave...
a wave that will recede
only to return again another day
today... today was a day
with the waves that overcame
overtook
washed me away
into memories
today was a wave
tomorrow it will recede
how long will i stand in this tide
of letting go
and remembering?
