This road

For those privvy to the inner workings of my life, you'd know that my life has been a huge pile of mish-mash matters that have come to a head these past months. Its been an emotional roller-coaster ride, its been a seemingly endless tunnel of unnverving moments and not-always-very-nice surprises, and most of all, its been a real test of faith, patience and the belief I've had in many things. But its also been a time of renewal, of new learnings, of discovering new knowledge and a greater understanding of the mechanics of many things, and of a greater appreciation for family, friends that have kept the faith and gone the distance for me- and are continuing to do so- and the simple faith that God has His plan.

Earlier today I found my Ginny Owen CD. Ginny has come a long way for me and some of my friends; suffice to say she's been a Charmed singer of Felicity proportions. Its been a long while since a song got to me like This Road did. Its a beautiful summation of where I'm at and I remain grateful to you all who have kept the faith.

We may not see what lies beyond the bend, but thank God we have good people to make the journey that much easier.

Ginny Owens: This Road
A million miles away from anything familiar
A thousand places I would rather be
So I choke back the tears and try to find the bright side
Though I find it hard to see beyond my suffering
In my heart I know Your plan is so much bigger
But this small part is all that I can see
And I believe you haven't left me here to wander
Still I can't help but ponder where You're leading me

And I ask why this road
Why this way and this load
Tell me how far I must go
'Til I see
'Til I know why this road

A million miles away from anythig familliar
What was it like to be so far from home
And though You came in love the world misunderstood You
There must have been some days when You felt so alone
But You endured 'cause there was joy before You
Joy that came because You sacrificed
Since You gave yourself just to spend forever with me
Surely I can trust You'll lead me through my darkest times

When I ask why this road
Why this way and this load
Tell me how far must I go
'Til I see
'Til I know why this road

From here I can not see why You'd choose this path for me
But I don't have to understand to believe that You know why

You know why this road
Why this way and this load
You know how far I must go
'Til I see
'Til I know why this road
