note to self: i’ll be there for you, always

written june 6, 2021. Photo by Kristine Cinate on Unsplash I have always looked for myself in other people. I think the idea was that they would somehow hold the pieces of me that I felt were missing. That maybe, if I wrapped my identity up in theirs enough, we would somehow make a whole person. It's not healthy to live like this, but I did it anyway — burning through relationships and searching for something I couldn't quite name. It was never enough, not to be myself, but it was never enough to latch my identity to other people, either. I got close, several times — I thought I had reached the pinnacle of self discovery. I thought I had completed myself. But in the end, relying on other people to help build yourself is never a viable way to do things. It's only recently that I've started to become comfortable with the idea of being enough, as I am, on my own. Several years ago, in this same position, I would have searched for another person to attach my identity onto,...

{Day 12: A Wedding Song}

Well, I'm obviously not married, and will not be getting married for a while. ;)

There are so many songs I'd like to play. So get ready for a bunch of them. :P Of course, it all depends on what my husband wants and what songs God is impressing on my heart at the time, but these are some songs I really like. I couldn't pick just one. xP

This is a song that's really romantic (and clean! Gotta love clean love songs!) I love playing it on my guitar.

You and Me - Lifehouse


And then there's this. It's my life's message. My life's song. It's gotten me through all the hardest times in my life lately. I. Love. It.
I want it to be a reminder to my husband and I that no matter what happens in our life together, Christ is our light, our strength, our song.

In Christ Alone - Owl City


This song is beautiful too. But I don't know if I'll play it at my wedding. I might cry if I do.

Cinderella - Steven Curtis Chapman


I thought I could post this entry until I remembered one more song. This song has consistently remained one of my favorites. It's a beautiful reminder of how much God loves us, and how we truly are his beloved. Like the song says, "it's a mystery."

Beloved - Tenth Avenue North

    What wonderful songs!!! They're all SO great! I never thought of Cinderella, but it really is the perfect song for a wedding! Don't worry, I'd probably cry too ;)

    I love it when songs are clean! But what I hate is when you think a song is clean and you really like it and then you look up the lyrics or something and realize that it isn't.

    Good songs!

    [quick note... okay, when I tried to publish Tarissa's comment, I accidentally deleted it. :-/ So, I'm really sorry, Tarissa!]

    Here is what she said:

    Wow! These are beautiful songs. I did not know that Owl City has sung "In Christ Alone".... I'm just shocked! I guess I never realized the band had some Christian influence, as I've only heard a couple of their other songs. I'm amazed and now I need to know more about Owl City!

Thank you for stopping by! I read every single comment and love them all. Seriously, it makes my day. I do my best to comment back!

My only rule is basic respect and honor. Disagreement is accepted, but hate and trolling is not. Otherwise, say what you need to say, and have fun. And don't forget to grab a free complimentary mint on your way out.
