Weight Watchers, lunch and lyrics

So today I did something different. I met a friend at WW, we weighed in, had lunch and went to the meeting. I loved this. Not only did I spend some good quality time with a good friend (thanks again Donna, you ROCK) but I lost 3.6 lbs! Not bad I say.

So I am running on about 90 minutes of sleep and will soon crash.

I have really been paying attention to music lyrics lately. Sometimes I will have a favorite song that I sing to but I don't really know what I am singing. I noticed it Sunday when they played one of my favorite worship songs (I call it the Oh No song, but that's not its name) and listened to the words and was amazed at how quickly my eyes began to water. Music is powerful. It can give me hope or take me back in time or just give me a reminder of how blessed I am.

This past weekend, we went to Celebrate Freedom and I really enjoyed Chris Sligh. He is a great songwriter and I spent some time just reading the lyrics. Well done I must say!

Random Thought: This weekend for some reason, I have really been missing Lucy. I went back and read the posts after she died and the quilt overwhelmed me again. I used to wonder why people blog about their dogs but dang, I was so emotionally attached to my pooka puppy. I miss all of her right now.

There is a point to that. I get in the car today and on the radio is a song I had not heard in 10 years, when I went on a college short term missions trip to New Orleans. I have not heard the song since then so it was very odd that it was playing.

Here are the words (cool music too, check it out sometime)
I know there are times
your dreams turn to dust
you wonder as you cry
why it has to hurt so much
give Me all your sadness
someday you will know the reason wy
with a child-like heart
simply put your trust in Me

CHORUS:
Take My hand and walk where I lead
keep your eyes on Me alone
don't you say why were the old days better
just because you're scared of the unknown
take My hand and walk

Don't live in the past
cause yesterday's gone
wishing memories would last
You are afraid to Carry On
you don't know what's comin'
but you know the one who holds tomorrow
I will be your guide
take you through the night
if you keep your eyes on Me

Take my hand and walk where I lead
Keep your eyes on me alone
don't you say why were the old days better
just because you're afraid of the unknown
take my hand and walk where I lead
you will never be alone
faith is to be sure of what you hope for
and the evidence of things unseen
so take my hand and walk

Just like child
holdings daddy's hand
don't let go of mine
you know you can't stand
on your own


I needed this. I tend to live in the past, trying to remember the good times (which is important) but sometimes I am afraid there wont be days as good as the ones that have passed. I needed this.
Lyrics are cool!
