I'm still here

I know it's been awhile and I'm sorry. I have the tendency to stay off of the computer. However, I do regularly check in with everyone to see how they are doing, and I occasionally comment. :) Anyway, I wanted to give you some lyrics to a Nickel Creek song that really hit home with me this week, and to tell you that if you enjoy reading, please check out Francine Rivers The Mark of the Lion Trilogy and Redeeming Love. These books have an awakening/healing/strenthening power that is God-given indeed. They will touch your heart. Anyway, here are the lyrics.

Where am I today? I wish that I knew
Cause looking around there's no sign of You
I don't remember one jump or one leap
Just quiet steps away from Your lead

I'm holding my heart out but clutching it too
Feeling this sort of love that I once knew
I'm calling this home when it's not even close
Playing the role with nerves left exposed

Standing on a darkened stage
Stumbling through the lines
Others have excuses
I have my reasons why

We get distracted by dreams of our own
But nobody's happy while feeling alone
And knowing how hard it hurts when we fall
We lean another ladder against the wrong wall

And then climb high to the highest rung
To shake fists at the sky
While others have excuses
I have my reasons why
With so much deception it's hard not to wander away
It's hard not to wander away. It's hard not to wander away.

In the Mark of the Lion books, there is a Jewish/Christian slave girl named Hadassah that has dreams of her own, but she stays strong in the Lord loving Him and trusting Him in everything, even when it is difficult and painful. I don't know if Nickel Creek meant this the way I took it, but it meant alot to me, and the thing is that I've heard it for years, and just connected the way I did this past weekend. Don't you just love it when that happens. :) Anyway, I've gotta run. Everyone keep posting, and know that even when I don't post, I am still keeping in touch. Love you guys!!
