Today's blog is going to begin with a chris g. fun fact :)
I have been a writer of poetry, song's, short stories, and play's since I was about 14 years old and have often used the written word to attempt to express in words what my heart feels (Maybe one day I will share some of my writings). I'm not saying that I have done a great job but I have won $, rewards, and scholarships based on my past writings. I was actually about to go to UNCG for their creative writing program but I felt God leading me to finish college at John Wesley College which I found to be a blessing to me in my life, ministry, and spiritual growth (I find I need to keep growing so much everyday).
We all hear songs that we have to share, or read story's that touch us, and sometimes we even hear a song in which the lyrics touch us so deeply that we have to share them as an extension of what we are feeling in our own personal lives. Today is just a small blog about a song that recently has touched me. I have had a rough time for a little while now with some thing's that I have been dealing with and this song seems to express it better than I can. How often in life have we felt tossed about by a storm? How often do we feel as if we are drowning in life's troubles? How often do we feel as if our world is upside down?
As you read the lyrics I encourage you to maybe share with me some of the storms in life you have gone through recently... if you want to place it anonymously, than there is no way for me to know who it is that sent it (not that I would even try to search), so feel free to send your "Storm story" to me anonymously.
Storm by Lifehouse
How long have I been in this storm?
So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
Water's getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head
If I could just see you
Everything would be alright
If I'd see you
This darkness would turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be alright
And everything is alright...
I know you didn't bring me out here to drown
So why am I ten feet under and upside down?
Barely surviving has become my purpose
Because I'm so used to living underneath the surface
If I could just see you
Everything would be alright
If I'd see you
This darkness would turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be alright...
