Let It Be

This song has been stuck in my head a lot the last few evenings... it's a great song (listen to it if you haven't heard it!). It's by SuperChick. It helped to get me through some pretty tough times in high school, and continues to be a great reminder for me today to "let go, and let God" (as they say). I know it always applies to my life, and maybe right now it applies to your life too. I hope that you are blessed today and this new year, for coming here and checking in on me, for your support, and maybe it's you who needed these words today, not me...

SuperChick - Let it Be

Some people bring you gifts, some bring you bricks to weigh you down

So they can swim a little higher while you drown

Some people mean so well, their way was the best way that they've found

But any other way you choose is a brick that weighs you down

So tell me

What do I do with this backpack full of bricks

Of sticks and stones and words that stuck to me like ticks

Let it go, let it be

brick by brick we can be free

Of all the words we say til we were our own enemies

Let it go, let it be brick by brick we can believe

in the person God intended us to be

Let it be.

Some people give themselves a brick, I know most people do

When we compare, we fall short somewhere, its always true

If all we see is where we fall, weve bricked the prison wall

Instead of trying to learn to fly weve taught ourselves to crawl

So tell me what do I do with this backpack full of bricks

Of sticks and stones and words that stuck to me like ticks

Let it go, let it be

brick by brick we can be free

Of all the words we say til we were our own enemies

Let it go, let it be brick by brick we can believe

in the person God intended us to be

Let it be.

We could believe in ourselves more

We could try for unique instead of trying to conform

We could defy what they tell us

And dont buy the lies they sell us

And we're brave we can believe in what we are

Let it go, let it be

brick by brick we can be free

Of all the words we say til we were our own enemies

Let it go, let it be brick by brick we can believe

in the person God intended us to be

Let it be.

New Years Baby!!

I could take this opportunity to write a sappy blog about how wonderful 2007 was, or how much my life has changed and how much I learned... buuutttt I think I'd rather show you pictures of New Years :) - maybe later I'll sit down and try to be slightly intellectual? ha... or not!
