Deuteronomy 6: 4-5

God our God!
God, the one and only!
Love God, your God, with your whole heart: love him with all that's in you, love him with all you've got!

Slow Your Breath and Take it Slow

This chest is full of memories
Of gold and silver tears
I’ll give you more to own than
All of this
And I’ll give you more than years
For you were once a child of innocence
And I see you just the same
Your burdens couldn’t win or
Lose a thing
Oh, I’d tell you once again
But you’re always on the run

Slow your breath down
Just take it slow
Find your heart now, oh
You can trust and love again
Slow your breath down, just take it slow
Find your smile now, oh
You can trust and love again

If you leave I’ll still be close to you
When all your fears rain down
I’ll take you back a thousand times again
I’ll take you as my own
I would sing you songs of innocence
‘Til the light of morning comes
‘Til the rays of gold and honey cover you
In the sweetness of the dawn
But you’re always on the run

You’re not alone
You’re now a part of me
You feel the cure
I’ll feel the toil it brought you

Changes

Funny how I've planned so many things in my life and yet a lot of the stuff that I've tried to control and "make happen," hasn't happened that way at all. The only thing that I've gotten that I've wanted is becoming a teacher (and even with that, it was ALL BY THE GRACE OF GOD). The rest, God has showed me time and time again that it's really in His Hands and I just need to enjoy the moments of the ride He's placed me on. I'm not the driver, but the passenger. Is this a bad thing? No...but it used to drive me crazy. I'm calmer these days and things are good. :) Rest easy; sleep peacefully....
