That awkward moment when you're deep in thought, trying to sort out thought and feeling in a difficult, serious, life-effecting situation, and you're trying to distinguish between idealism and reality...
And then you have this moment and you're like...
"Oh, hey. I could actually totally leave the direction and the results of this situation up to God and let Him lead me in it and not worry about messing it up because I'm not trying to call the shots. Like, at all. Duh..."
Ugh! Why didn't I think of this days ago! I feel like a total noob right now xD

John 15:5New International Version (NIV)
5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
You know, I have come to realize this as a general or universal truth, but more specifically and personally...sometimes I feel like God helps me to just do what 'an average person' should be able to 'normally do by themselves'.
Seriously, without Him, I just can't get it together, and I'm reminded of this on the occasions when mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, or however else...I experience the feeling of everything unraveling and falling apart. Then, I am reminded... "Apart from me, you can do nothing."
You're right, Lord Jesus, and thank you for allowing us (and me) to be a part of you.
There are times others see me excel in ways that might seem moderately extraordinary, and they are in that they come from God. He's literally the only reason! ...not in a self-deprecating way or anything, but just with the realization that most days I wouldn't even want to live or get out of bed on my own. It's God that provides me with who I am and what I need (and even quite a bit of what I want) every day.
Like the song, He's a good good father. That's just who He is, and for that (in the many realities of who He is) I am eternally grateful. Truly.
Man, the roller-coaster of thoughts and feelings and states of being I've gone through tonight...just in the past 8-10 hours!

Well, the notebooks I write my songs in are not at my disposal currently (I'm at work), but I'll try to post what I can off the top of my head. I've written about 100, and that's not one I've played in quite some time since writing it (which is far from uncommon for me):

"A paper-thin edge deep inside,
which is etched throughout spaces and time,
lays before every one of our eyes,
but we just act blind.
The difference between wrong and right...
The boundary between truth and lies...
The moments we run from or fight...
are had to define.
C
...and I'm always afraid of that line.
Will I step over this time? Will I cross over this time?
It steals your attention and mine.
Will we step over this time? Will we cross over...this time...?
*can't think of the next verses, so cutting to the bridge and shift in chorus*
B
A voice that I've heard deep inside...like a thousand-one times X a thousand more times...
Echoes inside me tonight, and answers my cries...

He says, "I'm here, have no fear!" and it dies!
Can it really be fine?! Will this really be fine?
"Come with me, and see..." he replies. "You'll step over as mine. You'll cross over...as mine."

I'm kinda in the same boat as you are in lol... So much happening to me and my husband right now. one attack after the other... but I've been the same thing from 6 different people thus far... God's gonna work something awesome and amazing in our life...something huge is gonna happen... I just have to praise the Lord with all I am and thank him for everything we are going through.
it's been a rough couple of weeks, but I am trusting HIM and I Know in my heart, WE can do this!!! Just being Patient and doing what God wants me to do is the hardest thing ever to do. Don't worry... many times I feel like I'm a total noob... xD
