There may come a time, a time in everyones life..

where nothin seems to go your way
where nothing seems to turn out right
there may come a time, you just cant seem to find your way
for every door you walk on to, seems like they get slammed in your face
thats when you need someone, someone that you can call.
and when all your faith is gone
feels like you cant go on
let it be me
let it be me
if its a friend that you need
let it be me
let it be me
feels like your always commin on home
pockets full of nothin and you got no cash
no matter where you turn you aint got no place to stand
reach out for something and they slap your hand
now i remember all to well
just how it feels to be all alone
you feel like youd give anything
for just a little place you can call your own
thats when you need someone, someone that you can call
and when all your faith is gone
feels like you cant go on
let it be me


Let it be me- Ray LaMontagne
I'm 21 

This is my birthday post where I share the crap that I have learned thus far... should be fun. Let's see in the last year I learned I have a sick love for cheap movies. I quit smoking on November 16th of last year and I have only had half a cherry Black and Mild (only because I was curious, it was gross)and a few small flavored cigars. I loss some pounds this year and gained them right back so some habits will change this upcoming year. I found I have the ability to love with my whole heart which I thought I wasn't gonna do in this lifetime [I was so naive]. I can control my anger and use it when necessary. Stephanie Meyer's New Moon was a life saver... weird huh. I am real damn patient. Never would have thought it. I have the most depressing ipod... geez I need to revamp my music collection. Ironman has to be one of the greatest movies they have released in my lifetime. All the years I have claimed to hate reading was only because I was forced to read something. I've enjoyed stepping out on my own and picking up my favorites and rereading them... I've enjoyed finding comfort in books. My outlook on religion did a big flip this year... I think I'm back to square one which can be fun. Religion is for the birds...[Relationship is key] Someone told me this year "Change is the only constant" I thought about that phrase for a LONG time... My thoughts on it are different and I don't agree. God is the only constant, change is inevitable. I also learned my opinion, when it truly comes down to it, doesn't matter but that should not stop me from sharing my heart when the time is right... use caution. Sometimes it's better to just "take it on the chin" as William Elliott Whitmore would say. When the time is right fight the battle and if not don't back down just take the lick. I will travel this upcoming year and that my friends makes me super excited. Today I was approved for a loan [small but will do] its the first step to building credit without credit cards. It gets my foot in the door and my saving will finally pay off... HELLLLLZ yea. I can and will do anything I want or dream but only through Him. I have been knocked to my knees this past year and while down there I have prayed harder, cried more and exposed my wounds while balancing a full days work and being there for my family. I want to continue for God to meet me there and be my only constant.


21 should be fun... in the words of the greatest sponge guy I know "I'm READY"
I am open and ready for new things, new places and new relationships.



grace and peace
