Let That Be Enough
Let That Be Enough Switchfoot
I wish I had what I needed
To be on my own
'Cause I feel so defeated
And I'm feeling alone
And it all seems so helpless
And I have no plans
I'm a plane in the sunset
With nowhere to land
And all I see
It could never make me happy
And all my sand castles
Spend their time collapsing
Let me know that You hear me
Let me know Your touch
Let me know that You love me
And let that be enough
It's my birthday tomorrow
No one here could know
I was born this Thursday
22 years ago
And I feel stuck
Watching history repeating
Yeah, who am I?
Just a kid who knows he's needy
Let me know that You hear me
Let me know Your touch
Let me know that You love me
And let that be enough
As i was driving to work this morning i was listening to this song, and i realised that it said exactly what i was feeling at the time. (except for the bit about turning 22 tomorrow!)
I so want to be out on my own, but i feel like i cant. I mean, i know i will get there eventually, its just that the road there is harder than i would have liked. Wouldnt it be great if all i had to do to get from one place in my life to another was to sing "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" a few times??
But i know that that isnt going to happen, coz this other stuff is happening for a reason. I dont know what that reason is atm, but i might figure it out one day. Until then i just need to know that God hears me when i pray, to be able to feel his presence around me, to know without a doubt that he loves me, and for that to be enough to get me through the hard days.

Babe. i know only to well exactly what your talking about it. And as a wise woman said to me not that long ago, i may never feel ready to spread my wings and fly away to be on my own until i step out and do it..

You'll get there Princess.
Keep following the yellow brick road :p
gasp! I saw "turning 22 tomorrow" out of the corner of my eye and was like "GASP!! I missed Katie's birthday?!!" Then was confused because I thought our age difference didn't add up....then I realised it was just part of someone else's song and your birthday really is in November as I suspected all along (Ooh, and that rhymed - confirmation!!)
mm...I SO focus on everything I think I can't do until I forget what I definitely and maybe can do. And then maybe I don't need to be as independent as I think. Maybe it would be a lot more mature of me to stop trying to prove myself and just get used to asking for help when I need it.
I had doughnuts for breakfast this morning :)
