it's been inside of me all along...


So one of my new years resolutions was to start going to church at least twice a month. So far the month of January is right on track. I've been going to Crossroads of course, which makes me feel good just stepping in the place with the connections I've made to it's missions and people. I went last week and this week and really enjoyed it. I guess it was just a matter of stepping out there and doing it because now I look forward to going.


Last weekend the band opened up with a song that I have always really really loved. It's called Strength Courage and Wisdom by India Arie:




If I ever feel weak or just kind of helpless this song always makes me feel better. Funny that they play this song when I'm trying to get in touch with going to church and just really feeling good about just being me. I truly can say that I'm comfortable in my skin, and love that I've become who I am after what I've gone through. I've shed some pretty heavy things in the past 6 months. I feel really good about it. I've always known I've had this tremendous Strength, Courage, and Wisdom. I just didn't always use it. I'm confident that 2011 is going to be pretty great; with this song as my soundtrack.

Fly..

I was talking to a close friend of mine at work and she was talking about the birds that died in Arkansas. Then she asked me if I remembered the Beatles song called Blackbird. My heart sunk. I know that song and I'll never forget it. I can still hear my dad singing it. He sang it all the time; he'd whistle along with it. He changed the lyrics a little, he'd say 'take these broken wings and learn 'em to fly.' I miss him lots.

I'm hoping to fly this year...
