Heaven Stands

I had a really emotionally bad day yesterday. I don’t want to get into all the pitiful details, but to summarize, I went in for my first dress fitting for my bridal gown and it didn’t go as planned. I just didn’t look the way I wanted. Not even close. This all happened in the morning and still at 5:00 I was in depression so my wonderful fiance took me out for a fancy dinner at Steak n’ Shake. We get in the car and this song by JJ Heller was on the radio station KLove. It really put things into perspective for me. So read these lyrics and listen on. Hopefully it will strike a chord with you too. I’m sure you have bigger problems than a bridal gown not fitting right.
I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn’t there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That You would take my pain away
That You would take my pain away
I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crookedly lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands
When You walked upon the Earth
You healed the broken, lost, and hurt
I know You hate to see me cry
One day You will set all things right
Yea, one day You will set all things right
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands
Your hands
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave You when…
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave…
I never leave Your hands
Taylor Swift Kicks Music Butt!!

Taylor Swift
I realize I may sound extremely girly by saying this, but I feel it appropriate after The Grammy’s last night where Taylor Swift won the most honored award: Album of The Year. It is true Taylor Swift doesn’t sing the best live. Not many people do. And let’s face it, she is 18 or 19, just starting her career and singing in front of millions of people. I would be just a smidge nervous too. It is also true, that she is young and therefore her lyrics have that same naive feel to them. But does that somehow make them less extraordinary? I think that is exactly why she is reaching so many girls, young ladies and even women. I remember what it was like to be a teenage girl. All the boy drama and insecurities. Taylor writes about things that I wish I had been brave enough to write or talk about at that age or even now. And she writes about all the most important feelings and experiences that teenage girls go through. Yes, mostly involving boys and the first feelings of love. I love putting in her cd and for just 30 minutes or so feeling like an unfazed kid again. At the ridiculous age of 14, she was writing hit songs for other artists and she got the guts to decide she wanted that life for herself. Who does that? Any of it? Remarkable. She decided what she wanted and went after it and I think she is darn talented. I’m not sure what I mean when I say this, but her songs have this limitless feel to them. You can tell that she is a girl that has the whole world in the tiny palm of her hand. She hasn’t really experienced the normalcy of this life, because she never even thought it possible. Normalcy that is. She’s always been a big dreamer and it’s paid off. I think she’ll be around for years to come. And I can’t wait to see her grow through her music. It will be amazing and fun to watch.
