today's wow moment.

last night i sat down to write a song about myself and my boyfriend collin. instead, i ended up writing the one below. it's just what came out of my brain instead of some cheesy love song. i didn't exactly know why but then today i figured it out. i was doing my devotional and the verse that was listed in the book to read along with it said the SAME thing that my song did. and i didn't even know this verse. SO COOL. here's the song:

just believe-


a brand new beginning
for me and for you
forget all the rest
and take hold of the new


we finally found
a reason to live
just open your eyes
and see what this is


you hear the call
this time you won't fall


just believe there's an answer
even when there's no hope
just believe there's a way out
even when there's no hole
the light is right above you
but you're scared to look up
just believe someone loves you
after all that you've done


your eyes they just sparkle
from tear after tear
and i know you've been fighting this
year after year


you hear the call
and he won't let you fall


just believe there's a glimmer
of hope in the dark
just believe there's a fire
that can come from your spark
the darkness is below you now
and you can make it through somehow
just believe that God loves you 
forever and right now


you see an easier way
and you're sick of the pain
but don't give up on life
just because it's so plain


just believe there's a hand
reaching out for your hand
and believe there's someone who can
teach you to stand
the pain it's behind you
just fully let go
and believe that your heart beats
even when you don't know


just hear the call
and don't give up
cause you won't fall
inside his love



here's the verse: psalms 37:23-24 "if the Lord delights in a man's way, he makes his step firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand."

i love when God shows me stuff like this:)

terrified.

You, by the light [[the best boyfriend ever]]
Is the greatest find [[the most valuable treasure]]
In a world full of wrong [[friends who gave up on me]]
You're the thing that's right [[the one who'll never give up]]

Finally made it through the lonely [[the pain and the tears]]
To the other side [[a life with you]]

You set it again, my heart's in motion [[my heart beats for you]]
Every word feels like a shooting star [[the most amazing thing]]
I'm at the edge of my emotions [[i've never felt this way]]
Watching the shadows burning in the dark [[the pain fades away]]

And I'm in love [[forever]]
And I'm terrified [[of the future]]
For the first time and the last time [[you're the only one]]
In my only life [[my time here on earth]]

And this could be good [[we have time to find out]]
It's already better than that [[the last 19 years]]
And nothing's worse [[not anything ever]]
Than knowing you're holding back [[not giving everything]]

I could be all that you need [[the only one for you]]
If you let me try [[just give me a chance]]

You set it again, my heart's in motion [[you move me]]
Every word feels like a shooting star [[something to wish for]]
I'm at the edge of my emotions [[feeling everything]]
Watching the shadows burning in the dark [[everything else doesn't matter]]

And I'm in love [[for real]]
And I'm terrified [[in a good way]]
For the first time and the last time [[and the only time]]
In my only [[my one life]]

I only said it 'cause I mean it [[i love you]]
I only mean 'cause it's true [[it just happened]]
So don't you doubt what I've been dreaming [[our life together]]
'Cause it fills me up and holds me close whenever I'm without you [[five hours away]]

You set it again, my heart's in motion [[you brought me back to life]]
Every word feels like a shooting star [[like it could disappear]]
I'm at the edge of my emotions [[they're a blur]]
Watching the shadows burning in the dark [[letting go of the hurt]]

And I'm in love [[it's really true]]
And I'm terrified [[of getting hurt again]]
For the first time and the last time [[i somehow trust you]]
In my only [[my one last chance]]
