I love days like today. Where I can sit for hours and look out the window over God's wonderful creation, listen to beautiful music, talk to friends as they pass by and enjoy the bright sun of a mountain afternoon. Even with the horrid reality that I have a paper due in 9 hours that I have barely touched, a project due monday, a presentation due monday, clothes to wash and a room to clean, I'm still content to sit here and soak up the day while attempting to work on these things thats seem to hang over my head. This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!
As I've been sitting here enjoying my afternoon, this song by Kings of Leon began to play, and for some reason, maybe its just the sound of Anthony Followill's voice, but it's words and the movement of the song place really well with my feelings today.
"I'm on the corner waiting for a light to come on
That's when I know that you're alone
It's cold in the desert water never sees the ground
Special unspoken without a sound
Told me you love me, that I'd never die alone
Hand over your heart let's go home
Everyone noticed everyone has seen the signs
I've always been known to cross lines
I never ever cried when I was feeling down
I've always been scared of the sound
Jesus don't love me no-one ever carried my load
I'm too young to feel this old
Here's to you
Here's to me
On to us
Nobody knows
Nobody sees
Nobody but me"
Maybe the words don't identify too much. But sometimes I feel as though they do. My life is constantly in transition and I have to continue to be careful to not cross lines in relationships, no matter the extent of the relationship. I want to continue to guard my heart. To not be afraid of sadness, but to realize that its okay to let people help me carry my burdens. And that sometimes the burdens I bear, are not mine to carry.
