Lyrics to two songs that impacted me tonight. Maybe you know them. Maybe you don't. If you don't, I think you should. Which is why I'm posting them. The first, I have to disclaimer...I only know the lyrics, haven't actually heard the song. Don't even know who it's by. And, it's country so I might not even like it. But, my best friend sent them to me, and coupled with hearing the other one on the radio moments before I read her email, the combination was pretty powerful.
Title and Artist not known(will find for credit soon)
You can spend your whole life buildin'
Something from nothin
One storm could come and blow it all away
Build it anyway
You could chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway
God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like i think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway
This worlds gone crazy
And it's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway
You can love someone with all you heart
For all the right reasons
And in a momemt they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway
God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like i think it should
But I do it anyway
Yeah I do it anyway
You can pour your soul out singin'
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yeah sing it anyway
I sing
I dream
I love anyway

My Savior, My God - Aaron Shust
I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed, what God has planned
I only know at his right hand
Stands one who is my savior
I take him at his word and deed
Christ died to save me this I read
And in my heart I find a need
For him to be my savior
That he would leave his place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my savior
My savior loves, my savior lives
My savior's always there for me
My God he was, my God he is
My God he's always gonna be
Yes, living, dying; let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring
That he who lives to be my king
Once died to be my savior
That he would leave his place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did
I Before I knew my savior
My savior loves, my savior lives
My savior's always there for me
My God he was, My God he is
My God he's always gonna be

Back in college, in 2004 when blogging was hardly even a thing yet, I was here. Blogging before blogging meant anything to anyone. You can look in the archives for my past writings, but it was much more like a journal in the past. When we started fundraising, I messed around with the idea of launching something new for this new phase of our journey but actually hated that idea. I am a sum of all of my life and so much of it is here already. So I'm keeping it here. At least for now.
My main focus these days is blogging about our newest journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of gestational surrogacy. Posts dated 2013 and forward will trend heavily toward that journey. I don't promise everything I write will be about though. There might be other things that sneak in occasionally.
Please come along our journey with us. As the saying goes, "The more, the merrier!"

Anyway by Martina McBride
Of course...you know, you could have included that in your email
:-)
This way was more fun!
So, I haven't read your blog in a awhile and I come across the Martina McBride song. If there were comforting words that anyone could say to me right now, that totally hit the spot! We need to talk and catch up! My spring break is coming up next week, so I promise I will try to call you so we can chat!! I miss you so much babe!! Texas is way too far away. Love you!
JRM!!! I love you! I'm glad the words hit the spot for you. Let God wreck you babe. We'll talk soon.
