Brave

I wanted to share with you some lyrics that I'm sure some of you are familiar with. It's a song called 'Brave' by Nichole Nordeman. I'll let you read them first, and then I'll add my own little insight, cause I know you all want to hear! lol.

So without further adieu:
The gate is wide, the road is paved to moderation
the crowd is kind and quick to pull you in
welcome to the middle ground, it's safe and sound and
until now it's where I've been

Cuz it's been fear that ties me down to everything
but it's been love, Your love that cuts the strings

(Chorus) So long status quo, I think I just let go
you make me wanna be brave
the way it always was It's no longer good enough
You make me wanna be brave
brave, brave

I am small and I speak when I'm spoken to
But I am willing to risk it all
To say your name, just your name, and I'm ready to go
Even ready to fall

Wided-eyed, take this fowl compromise
Why did I try to keep it all inside (back to Chorus)

I've never known a fire that didn't begin with a flame
And every storm will start with just a drop of rain
But if you believe in me, that changes everything
(Back to Chorus)

So there it is, and now I'll tell you why I put them on here. As I listen to the song and really meditate on the words, I start to get the greatest feeling inside, like I just wanna jump out and be someone new. It's incredible, how the words are so relevant to all of us. Sometimes I think we get so caught up in our lives: preperation for tomorrow, 'fitting in' with the crowd, pleasing everyone around us; that we forget to have fun on the journey. We've just got to break away from the everyday routines and do something new. Somehow, that's usually not a problem for me =) (no comments please, mom!)
Well, I think that's all I've got for now. I'll probably post later about my day!
