So Blessed :)

As I run through the streets of insecurity and Affliction Lane, God has really allowed me to see the beautiful scenery through this obscene town. He's provided a light for me when the darkness closed me in. He's provided friends for me when I feel lonely. He's given me love, when the winter cold is overtaking me and I just want someone to fall back on-- He is there. I've made mistakes that I regret, but taken the consequences and running back into my Savior's Arms again. He's provided for me the gift of singing and the love of music, to embrace life with a song and a smile and using my vocal talents for His Glory. He's blessed me with memories, to run through my veins and take me back to "that place" when everything else is dim.

I know I've encountered hurts, hurdles, and hard times. But I know that God has used the hurt that He never wanted to happen, for it to have a good purpose and use it in my testimony and reach out to others. But when I think about it, life is like a puzzle. You think its going to look so bad because you don't have all the pieces yet, but in time when you finish the puzzle, you realize..its a pretty good life. His Will has guided me along the valleys, along the rocky road, along the crystal stair...and I wouldn't have it any other way. :) I am so blessed. =]

"In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end"
