Sometimes life gets hard. At times you wish it would just fly by, and it's in those times that it normally creeps by. Maybe you are unhappy just because you've had a bad day? Or maybe family life or friends life just isn't going so well? Maybe you got a bad grade on a really important test? Or maybe someone hurt you? Just like everyone, I sometimes allow my heart to form into a heart of stone. It tiring, dreary, and a very lonely state of mind. Once I get over that mood, I actually become quite an optimistic, which is why I really like the lyrics of this new song I found. I hope it can maybe relate to someone who reads this. (Sometimes I often feel that I shouldn't blog about anything negative, but I realized if all my posts were always happy [like life is great all the time], I would by lying to myself. God gave us all feelings and we can't neglect them. It's often those hard times that form us into who we are supposed to be and it's important to embrace those times.)
"Heart of Stone" by JillandKate
"Are you waiting for the time that nobody runs? Are you afraid of the nights when nobody comes? When you're screamin, you're barely breathin on your own. All the unraveling, you're coming undone.
Is it heavy? Is it heavy, your heart of stone? Is it heavy, your heart of stone? Are you fighting yourself and losing again? Everybody's out for themselves and that's how it's been. Are you busy keeping busy so nobody asks? You gave everything you had away, now you want it all back? Is it heavy? Is it heavy, your heart of stone? Don't you want to rest easy? Aren't you tired of feeling alone? Is it heavy, your heart of stone?
You can't save yourself baby, so brace yourself. Maybe the worst is over. You can't save yourself baby, so brace yourself. Maybe the worst is over. The worst is over.
When I have a heart of stone, the biggest mistake I often make is I forget about Jesus being with me. He is the one who never changes and is sufficient for me. This is another song by JillandKate that I picture Jesus telling me. It's called, "My Love."
I will never change my mind. I will never change my mind about you. I've been crazy about you since I found you. So you can fall right to pieces on the floor tonight. You can break down if you need to cry, but I will never change my mind; I will never change my mind about you.
So come on, take a walk with me. You can take my hand. You can scream into the darkness and tell me your plans. You can cry all night until you understand my love. Cause I'll be here in the morning when the sun is bright. And when you see it there shining, you will come to find, that it's always going to be here till the end of time, my love.
I am never gonna leave. I am never gonna leave you stranded. Life is never gonna go; It'll never go like you planned it. So you can run yourself down, try to figure me out. You can love me later if you hate me now. But I am never gonna leave. I am never gonna leave you stranded.
So come on, take a walk with me. You can take my hand. You can scream into the darkness and tell me your plans. You can cry all night until you understand my love. Cause I'll be here in the morning when the sun is bright. And when you see it there shining, you will come to find, that it's always going to be here till the end of time, my love.
Don't ever forget what you mean to God. Sometimes this world can make us feel worthless, but we are far from it.
No matter what grip life has you in right now, K-E-E-P G-O-I-N-G.
KEEP GOING can apply to more than one thing in life. At the beginning of fall semester, I made a promise to myself. I promised myself and my brother that I would eat healthier & work out at least three times a week. My workouts have turned into 4-5 times a week, and my fries have changed into apples.
After weighing myself today, I have officially lost 30 pounds in a little under 3 months; &&& it's only the beginning.
For once in my life I've decided to make that change.
