this road

A dear friend sent me a cd she'd burned for me. (Thanks again, S!) This song, the last one, seemed espcially fitting (although I think "suffering" to too drastic and too dramatic to describe my situation properly). These lyrics, and this post, and this blogger are unashamedly Christian.

This song is by Ginny Owens.

A million miles away from anything familiar
A thousand places I would rather be
So I choke back the tears and try to find the bright side
Though I find it hard to see beyond my suffering

In my heart I know Your plan is so much bigger
And this small part is all that I can see
And I believe You haven't left me here to wander
Still I can't help but ponder where You're leading me

And I ask why this road? Why this way and this load?
Tell me how far must I go 'till I see, 'till I know, why this road?

A million miles away from anything familiar
What was it like to be so far from home?
And though You came in love, the world misunderstood You
There must've been some days when You felt so alone

But You endured because there was joy before You
Joy that came because You sacrificed
Since You gave Yourself just to spend forever with me
Surely I can trust You'll lead me through my darkest time

When I ask why this road? Why this way and this load?
Tell me how far must I go 'till I see, 'till I know, why this road?

From here I cannot see why you'd choose this path for me
But I don't have to understand to believe
That You know why

You know why this road, why this way and this load
You know how far I must go 'till I see, 'till I know, why this road

I love it and I sing it. It so nicely sums up both the struggles and the faith I have about bringing d2b home.

And, once photobucket un-bans me for for violating tos (ummm...yeah. not me.) I'll change my photo to a better representation of this road.

(BTW, I found a sw to re-do my hs. Hooray! Now let's see how much it will cost...)
