Alright, I know. It's been 2011 for a few weeks. But, as I am not very consistent with this blogging thing, I have not been on in 2011 until now. So, happy 2011!! One of my resolutions (that I just made this morning~btw, in case you don't know me, I don't do much on time) is to post something at least once a week. In the past, I have used this blog for venting on really bad days, and that's not what I made it to be. And, no one wants to read that, as evidenced by the fact that no one has read this. Go figure. So anyways, my goal is to try and post every Monday. Here goes!
My weekend was great. I spent Friday night watching Dr. Who with my friend, Saturday with my sister, got my new iPod(!!!), and then got all dolled up to go with my boyfriend to his work party, which was awkward at first, but turned out great. We ended up sitting next to a wonderful Christian couple (God thing!) and chatted for hours - I loved it. Sunday I taught my pre-k class about God choosing David to be king of Israel, but that he had to wait until God was done using Saul. Once again, a message that hit home with me - God has a plan for you, but it will not happen on your timeline, it will happen on His. I think God wanted me to teach these kids so that I could learn a thing or two. =]
Song for this week... I know it's a secular song, and wasn't written with God in mind, but I really feel that these lyrics speak my heart and where it's at right now. So, as you read this, think of it in that light, and I think you'll find that it fits.
What's Left Of Me
Watched my life pass me by
in the rearview mirror
Pictures frozen in time
are becoming clearer
I don't wanna waste another day
stuck in the shadow of my mistakes - yeah
Cause I want you
and I feel you
crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger, like a burnin
to find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken, and I'm faded
I'm half the man I thought I would be
But you can have
what's left of me.
I've been dying inside
little by little
Nowhere to go
I'm goin outta my mind
An endless circle
runnin from myself until
You gave me a reason for standing still
And I want you
and I feel you
crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger, like a burnin
to find the place I've never been
Now I'm broken, and I'm faded
I'm half the man I thought I would be
But you can have
what's left of me.
Fallin' faster
barely breathing
Give me somethin to believe in
Tell me it's not all in my head
Take what's left of this man
Make me whole once again
Cause I want you
and I feel you
crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger, like a burnin
to find the place I've never been
Now I'm broken, and I'm faded
I'm half the man I thought I would be
You can have, all that's left, (yeah, yeah, yeah)
what's left of me
I've been dying inside you see
I'm goin outta my mind (outta my mind)
I'm just runnin' in circles all the time
Will you take what's left? x3 -- of me
I'm just runnin' in circles in my mind
Will you take what's left? x3 -- of me
Take what's left of me
