Everything is Beautiful...

I am a big believer in the power that song lyrics can have...music in general is an escape and I truly am amazed by what musicians out there can create. It's not only the music that comes from their instruments, but their words...many times they inspire...often times, they encourage...

The following are lyrics to a song called 'Everything is Beautiful' by a band called 'Starfield'. The lyrics speak for themselves...


Worn out, wasted
Like a bird with broken wings
Sometimes grace reminds me
I don't get to be the king

But love it washes over
Love it pulls me closer
Love it changes everything

Everything is beautiful
Even when the tears are falling
I don't need a miracle to believe
Even in the crashing down
I can hear redemption calling
And everything is beautiful to me

Sweetly, You release me
From the weight of what I've done
The trigger trips the hammer
But the bullets never come

And love like a landslide
Like the wind
Spins around me pulls me in
At it's unveiling, I begin

Stumped...

You know…I’m amazed at what I have…what I’m privileged to have…yet, I so often take advantage of those amazing things…

I think I can get so wrapped up in the things that don’t make sense, the things that maybe don’t go the way I’d like, and well, I begin to think that I am not the lucky person that I know I am…

Hmmm…

I love life…I love and appreciate all the beautiful things and people that I am privileged to have...to know...thank God for my husband...my sisters...my mom and dad...my friendships...

Another thought...

Happiness is what you make it right? Even a starving, homeless child can be happy; despite his or her dire circumstances…I suppose it’s the choice we all make…Even though there is no hope around them, they CHOOSE hope because that really makes life worth living...

I’m amazed by people’s emotions, I am stumped by my own at times…

Life is indeed a mystery, but an amazing one at that…
