Something worth fighting for.

I have this song by Shawn Mcdonald that I just love. Someday I want to play it at my wedding reception for my first dance with my future wife. Every time I hear it, it makes me think about that part of my future. The song always puts back some hope into that part of my life too, a remembrance to keep fighting and to keep pushing forward.

If I want something bad enough, I know I need to fight for it and sometimes I forget about that. I forget how much of a fight fighting is. I forget I'm in a war for my soul that I cant see, that there is a real enemy who wants me to quit and die. I also forget how much of a victory I have in Jesus Christ.

The choices I make in life are either going to move me forward in the Lord or not. Am I going to do my part and fight for the dreams and passions the Lord put in my heart or am I going to forget that there is more to my life than just myself?

I cannot sing you a song
about what happens when you're gone
my whole world seems to fall
and I don't feel like myself at all

I must confess that its true
that I'm nothing without you
We are two souls turned into one
cuz without you I feel undone

I cannot sing you a song
about what happens when your gone
everything around comes crashing down
I find myself on the ground

Shawn Mcdonald, Ripen, Confess -- right now a love song to my Lord.
