Let go

"They say the reason why breaking an addiction is so difficult is because no matter how bad something hurts us, letting it go hurts even more."
-- Meredith Grey

What If?

Nichole Nordeman

Excellent song for rethinking your dedication and beliefs:

What if you’re right?

And He was just another nice guy

What if you’re right?

What if it’s true?

They say the cross will only make a fool of you

And what if it’s true?

What if He takes his place in history

With all the prophets and the kings

Who taught us love and came in peace

But then the story ends

What then?

(Chorus)

But what if you’re wrong?

What if there’s more?

What if there’s hope you never dreamed of hoping for?

What if you jump?

And just close your eyes?

What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?

What if He’s more than enough?

What if it’s love?

What if you dig, What if you dig

Way down deeper than your simple-minded friends

What if you dig?

What if you find

A thousand more unanswered questions down inside

That’s all you find

What if you pick apart the logic

And begin to poke the holes

What if the crown of thorns is no more

Than folklore that must be told and retold

(Repeat Chorus)

You’ve been running as fast as you can

You’ve been looking for a place you can land for so long

But what if you’re wrong?

What if you jump?

And just close your eyes?

What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?

What if He’s more than enough?

What if it’s love?

Dream Big

"If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life."

--Abraham Maslow

It was You

12 Stones

(This is for You. I've only become what I am this last year because of You. Thank You for always being there for me and never giving up on me. I wouldn't be here without You, Lord...)



It was you
That showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand
For what I know is real

I was sick of all the pain
Tired of all the shame that I felt
But you showed me a way
To never have a doubt
And always to believe in myself
Now I see

It was you
That showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand
For what I know is real

Now I'm breathin for the first time
And I'm leavin, all this behind
I've become, what I am because of you
It was you

I'm so sorry 'bout the ways
but I can't take away my past
But you love me anyway
And now I wanna do
Everything for you that I can
Even though it won't erase
The foolish things that I've done
Things that blinded me
But now I see

It was you
That showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand
For what I know is real
Now I'm breathin for the first time
And I'm leavin, all this behind
And I'll stand
For what I know is real

So how can I make this up to you
I'll fight and I'll push and I'll strive
Now that I'm living my life for you
I'll fight and I'll push and I'll strive
Can't you see

It was you
That showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand
For what I know is real

Now I'm breathin for the first time
And I'm leavin, all this behind
I've become, what I am because of you

I can see the writing on the wall
As time begins to crawl away from me
And I've become what I am
Because of you
It was you
