Someone Like You

This has to be one of the beautiful songs I have ever heard. If you haven't checked out Adele's new cd you absolutely HAVE to. Love it so much.

post for the restless heart.

Ugh, somedays I just really wish Prince Charming would hurry up and sweep me off my feet already.

This song reminds me that the wait won't be too long. :)

hard questions.

i guess you could say i’m pretty confused about love. (love between a guy and a girl, that is.) i just don’t understand it. one day i’ll be watching a sappy love movie and think, “oh! that’s what loves supposed to look like!” and then i’ll read a book that says, “no. love is not what it looks like in the movies.”

WTF?!

i used to think that love was all about the fuzzy stuff. the symptoms, you know what i’m talking about! not being able to eat, that sick feeling, the “fireworks” every time you touch that special someone… is that even real? i have gone my whole life without feeling it, and now my belief in it is starting to fade.

i read recently that love ISN’T about the fuzzy stuff. that it’s all about the nitty gritty. it’s about being there even when your significant other gets fat and ugly. it’s about caring, and kindness, and honesty. it’s about putting someone else’s needs before yours.

but how can i know? i’ve never felt it, so how do it know when it’s real? i’d hate to think that i’m one of those cynics that doesn’t believe in true love, but honestly, i don’t understand it at all.

and then there’s the thought that haunts me the most: maybe i have felt love, but i got so wrapped up in all the fuzzy crap, that i overlooked the meaning of true love completely. maybe i’ll i never feel it at all…

this girl is finally getting ahead.

I have always been the type of person that has to work for EVERYTHING. I have to pay my dues and work very hard to achieve anything.

Or so I thought.

Lately, things have been going pretty good for me. I was awarded "Most Talented" and received a $200 scholarship through Junior Miss, I was recently cast in the role of Deborah-Sue in Bye Bye Birdie, and as of late, I have become a recipient of the Merit Scholarship for Voice at Belmont Academy. But instead of praising God for being so incredibly faithful, I automatically give myself all the credit.

Which is sooo not right.

After all, who got me here in the first place? Who provided me with a piano? Who gave me this passion for music? Who gave me my voice?

God did. And it seems completely unfair, for someone like me- who has doubted God so many times- to take all the credit. So many times I have underestimated his faithfulness and his ability to make everything right, yet He still proves his loyalty to me time and time again.

So now, everytime I fail (or succeed for that matter), I will still praise Him. I will thank Him, and rejoice in Him because it is HIM who got me here thus far. I have absolute faith He will make everything the way HE wants it to be. And although I don't agree with everything He does, I know it will all work out in the end.

till the rock crumbles,
