HEYA!!!!!!! So I'm at a much better place in my life right now. I cried so hard last night i don't know if they're aren't any tears left in me. It feels so great to be able to have such great people at church who love our family and care about us. So I wrote a new song called "To Save A Life." Not trying to copy The Frays song, "How to save a life" which is a big favorite of mine. But basicly the song is about the life around us and how we never really know how much longer these people will be with us. And it's one of my favorites that i've written. and i came to a realization. I took out the song (after re-coping it on another page) and riped it to peices. I then took some tape and peiced it back together. I hung it up on my wall and thought it just looked really cool. But there was more to it than that. It was a symbol of something. It was my life. It had been riped to shreds and slowly peiced back together. It was more than just words on a page. It was a story. Somthing to be heard. To be learned. That's what we are. We're broken, incomplete. God spends hours taking tape and piecing us back together. Is it perfect? No. But we were never perfect to start with. That's why the world is such a broken and messed up place. Because there is so much brokeness and so many people who are not willing to be peiced back together.
So basicly the song is kind've like that too. I remeber this story someone once told me; This boy passed this girl everyday on his way to school. They never said a word to each other, but they saw each other everyday. One day the boy said one simply word to her; hi. They next day the girl stopped him and said "thank you". He asked what for and she replied "When i passed you, i was on my way to go commit suicide, but your words stopped me. It made me think someone acctually cared." That story has been on my mind for a long time. So basicly my song is about if you knew all you had to say was "hi" and you could save someones life wouldn't you do it?
