You'll Be In My Heart

Feel free to mentally come back to the Present at any moment. Today's song is You'll Be In My Heart by Phil Collins. This song comes up in the disney classic Tarzan. When Kala first discovers the baby Tarzan in the treehouse the song plays.

When destiny calls you
You must be strong (you gotta be strong)
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
I'll be there from this day on,
Now and forever more

Maybe I should just start posting all of the lyrics... Good Idea? It is so hard to pick just a fragment because it is all so good! Especially in this song. It talks about how you are never alone. I will be there for you to comfort and love you. Always. You are loved. Isn't that such a great message? Plus Phil Collins is just amazing anyway so there isn't a song of his that isn't great... 

Bless the Broken Road

So, this is technically the song of yesterday, but since it was the Olympics opening ceremony I spent the whole day dressed as a Canadian. So obviously I couldn't do anything else. If you could imagine the rest of the post is coming from yesterday that would be greatly appreciated.

The song of the day is Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flats. One reason I really like this song is because it is basically the story of every single persons' life.

Every long lost dream led me to where you are

Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars

Pointing me on my way into your loving arms

This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road

That led me straight to you

Everything we've done in life has led us to meeting a certain person. Everything happens for a reason; even the hard times shape us to who we are today on the long, winding road. I just want you to imagine one single event in your life. What would have happened if you didn't meet someone, or something didn't happen? Your life would be nothing like it is now. You would be a completely different person. God really did bless the broken road to shape you into who you need to be today, even if it was a hard road. So really cherish everything that happens to you! It is there for a reason.

Song of the Day!

Hello Everyone! (More Like "Hi Self!") So if you are going to want to continue viewing my song of the day, you will have to do so here. I've decided this seems like a good way to practice my writing and let my thoughts flow more freely. Today the song is Place in this World by Michael W. Smith. The story of how I discovered this song is an interesting one. It first entered my life when I was in 8 grade and that year's madrigals sang it. At that point, the song meant nothing to me. However, when I found it again on Mrs. Hayward's website the next year, it really hit home! It really reminded me of one of my friends, so I downloaded the piano music and fell in love with it. Just recently, I have started reflecting on myself in this song. I am to this day ever so grateful to have discovered such a beauty. (Remind me to go off on a tangeant about the word grateful sometime.)

 "Looking for a reason, roaming through the night to find my place in this world. Not a lot to lean on; I need Your light to help me find my place in this world." Isn't that so beautiful?! Just help me discover who I am and who I need to be! I need to know my purpose so that I can fulfill it and not wander in the dark wondering where I'm going. Help me discover myself. Yeah, I would really recommend listening to this song. It changes my life!
