Learning to Breathe

This song has been my week. I started writing this Monday as a way to get over....Monday. I had felt so empty, so fake. Like I wasn't fulfilling a purpose I was meant for. I went to my source of inspiration, my place to think and to be alone with God. Lake Michigan. I sat there in my emptiness and asked God what He wanted me to do, what was His plan for me? At the time, I didn't feel a concrete answer, but I felt like I should write something. I went home and started writing. This is what came of it. I feel like I'm doing what I should be when I write. I'm living again, awake and alive. The key word for me in this song is learning. In no way am I all together. I still am as sinful as anyone, no less then I was last Monday. What I am now, is living in Christ, in His purpose and in the knowledge of mine. Not to write for the fun of writing, not to write wise words for the attention of others, but to write, in my own insignificant way, about what God wants me to write about. With the hope that maybe, just maybe someone will read it and be encouraged, someone would understand something in a different way.

So this is the way I say I need You,
This is the way that I say I love You,
This is the way that I say I'm Yours,
This is the way, this is the way,
Learning to breathe, I'm learning to crawl,
I'm finding that You and You alone can break my fall,
I'm living again, awake and alive,
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies.
