Free to Be Me

At twenty years of age
I'm still looking for a dream
A war is already waged for my destiny
But You've already won the battle
And You've got great plans for me
Though I can't always see, 'cause...

I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
And on my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me

When I was just a girl
I thought I had it figured out
See my life will turn out right
And I'll make it here somehow
But things don't always come that easy
And sometimes I would doubt, 'cause...

And you're free to be you

Sometimes I believe
That I can do anything
Yet other times I think
I've got nothing good to bring

But You look at my heart and you tell me
That I've got all You seek
And it's easy to believe, even though...

And you're free to be you


That song is my theme song right now. It's called Free To Be Me by Francesca Battistelli. It's one of those roll down your windows and sing at the top of your lungs songs. I just absolutely love it!

I'm going back to College Station on Tuesday. And I can't wait! I'm looking forward to what is ahead this next semester for me. I am looking up at God for guidance and looking forward and around at my encouragement and those who pray for me and bless me daily.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. -Hebrews 12:1-3

And that's where my strength is coming from--my cloud of witnesses and the joy of my Lord.


When you get a chance, check out Nehemiah 8:10. It's a great verse!
