I saw what I saw and I can't forget it I heard what I heard and i can't go back I know what I know and I can't deny it something on the road, cut me to the soul your pain has changed me your dream inspires your face a memory your hope a fire your courage asks me what I'm afraid of and what I know of love we've done what we've done and we can't erase it we are what we are and it's more than enough we have what we have but it's no substitution something on the road, cut me to the soul chorus I say what I say with no hesitation I have what I have but I'm giving it up I do what I do with deep conviction something on the road, cut me to the soul chorus 2x your courage asks me what I’m afraid of your courage asks me what I am made of your courage asks me what I’m afraid of and what I know of love and what I know of god

There are changes coming to my life. i have a job for the spring and summer. it is on a farm up in Leland. i will be living on the land in a one room cabin. working six days a week. it is all so exciting! today i was thinking about how i will miss my family so much. one thing i am happy about is that one of my good friends will also be working there. so i will not feel to alone. i am so glad to have found a job out in the country. the past winter was quite a hard one for me. both financialy and spiritualy. Thru everything i have went thru i have found God. Knowing this gives me hope that i can go thru what is ahead of me.   

This is the last day in my life that i will be 22. I am thinking of all the happenings of the past year. I have leared so much. i have found true love. I have come to know God in a way that i have not known before. my eyes have been opened. the wound of my heart is healed. the sadness that surounded my soul with a great darkness has been taken away. i see light. there was a fear of death in me. it has been taken away. i have met so many people in the past year that i have leared so much from. i have leared to see God in my brother, saving grace in my sister. there is a great circle, never ending, timeless. there is no fear or pain or any kind of suffering. there is only light. i am in and i feel it. For so long i felt like i had no home, i realized that i did not know my heart. i am finding out who i am and where i am and what i am. i know where my home is now. It is here, in me and in you. it is all around me. In the sky, sun,water,and earth, I have found that life is a dance. Before i took my first breath and after i breath my last, i will walk this path that is before me and take each step as it is given to me. there is music all around me. my soul is singing a song. it is so beautiful when we sing together. I hear you calling me.... i must go and run to you and find you where you are. I will rejoice in you and be glad, i will extol your love more than wine, draw me unto you and let us run together. I will rejoice in and be glad.

very comforting

Psalm 37

¹Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

²For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

³Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

⁴Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

⁵Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

⁶And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

⁷Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

⁸Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

⁹For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

¹⁰For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

¹¹But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

¹²The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

¹³The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

¹⁴The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

¹⁵Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

¹⁶A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

¹⁸The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

¹⁹They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

²⁰But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

²¹The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

²²For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

²³The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

²⁴Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

²⁵I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

²⁶He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

²⁷Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

²⁸For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

²⁹The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

³⁰The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

³¹The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

³²The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

³³The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

³⁴Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

³⁵I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

³⁶Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

³⁷Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

³⁸But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

³⁹But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

⁴⁰And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
