Hey Lindsey, welcome to your life!

Have you ever wanted to sit down and write a letter to yourself from God because you feel Him speaking to you so clearly that it overwhelms you? Okay, well God and I had a talk last night and He said some stuff. I won't be writing out a letter on blogger....way too public (even though like two people read it..ha). But, just an interesting and LATE night of my feelings, desires, and fears confronting God's truth about my life and encouraging me to press on because not only Has he given me this life but He has CALLED me to it and, therefore, He has provided me with everything I need for it, even when I think He has given me too much to handle for this moment. So, having said all that, and since I'm not going to write out a letter from God (it will remain in my head), I will share some lyrics that speak to me and where I'm at.

When the weight of the world bears down so strong
You leave footprints on the street
And there's too many miles to face
Without a few more hours of sleep

The storm clouds overhead won't shed
Any rain to quench your thirst
I wanna be the One you reach for first

When your faith is stretched so thin
That you can see straight through your soul
And you can't find a nickel to buy a smile
'Cause your pockets all got holes

You wanna shut the door and hide
Before the day can get much worse
I wanna be the One you reach for first

Before you turn the key
Before you fall asleep
Before you drift away to fight those demons
Waiting for you in your dreams

Before your arms are stretched wide open
Before you're reaching for the sky
Before you're searching for direction
And all the answers to your why's

Fall into Me
Well, my arms are stretched wide open, you don't have to say a word
Because I already see
That it's hard and you're scared and you're tired and I know it hurts
Yes, it's hard and you're scared and you're tired and it hurts
And I wanna be the One you reach for first
