It's late, and I should be asleep, but....

I thought I'd share this really cool song with you all. First, before I write the lyrics, I want to say: I am not sad or depressed or anything! Actually, this past week has been one of the best in this year! I'm sort of at a mountaintop... but it's these times when I actually need to remind myself that no matter how happy I am here, it's really nothing compared to what God has in store. Sometimes, if I get too caught up in being happy with the things around me, I forget that God is the one that made me happy in the first place. I still need to have at least a little pain, a little feeling of the cruelty of this world. I need to have that longing for Him. So even when I'm so happy, this song that I'm about to write down connects with me deeply.

By the way, don't watch the music video. It scared me, seriously. It took me awhile to get over that, but now the song's one of my favorites.

"Light Up Ahead"
by Further Seems Forever

Take this heart of darkness
I give it up
and all the emptiness
You fill it up
the times that I feel nothing
You bring enough
so I can live for something
You lift me up!

and all these bad dreams
I wake up to the light
and when I can't see
I wake up to Your eyes
Wake me up!

there's a light up ahead
there's a light up ahead
there's a light up ahead (here we are)
there's a light up ahead (here we are)

it gets so complicated
if you live enough
turn into what you hated
you're breaking up
the times I feel like nothing
You bring enough
so I can live for something
You lift me up!
