Keep Believing!

While yesterday, I turned on the radio and began searching for a station that I could tune into (seeing as I was about 75 miles out from my familiar radio stations).  

So, the first thing that I actually came to was Journey's Don't Stop Believing (lyrics follow).
I have heard the song before, but have never actually taken the time to listen to it. Something about it inspired me and from then out I searched it on youtube and listened to it on repeat the entire way back into town.

While it is a good song with a good message (Don't stop believing), it is not really clear on what exactly it is that we don't stop believing... But to me, it just reinforced within to keep believing in God. To keep my focus on Him and continue to aspire to be great things--as long as it is what God Wills for me.

And oh how I did need to remember this today. This afternoon God took me and broke me down again to rebuild me into something beautiful. Amazing how I can look back on that and see God's hand in it. It certainly was not seen as it was happening. I asked God at one point just to take my burden from me, only to realize a short while later that He was using all that to strengthen my relationship with Him!

While life certainly is not going to be easy, I just need to remember to keep believing (in God!!!!!) and continue to surrender my will and do His will and live my life for Him. Amen!



Journey- Don't Stop Believing

Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

(Chorus)
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night.

Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

(Chorus)

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights people

Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlight people

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights people
