Heres something I use to do on another site I'm gonna try to do it here now. If you have a song that touches you everytime you hear it leave me a comment I wanna know!
She is running A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction She is trying But the canyon's ever widening In the depths of her cold heart So she sets out on another misadverture just to find She's another two years older And she's three more steps behind
Chorus: Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see? Lord does anybody even know she's going down today? Under the shadow of our steeple With all the lost and lonely people Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
She is yearning For shelter and affection That she never found at home She is searching For a hero to ride in To ride in and save the day And in walks her prince charming And he knows just what to say Momentary lapse of reason And she gives herself away
Chorus
If judgement looms under every steeple If lofty glances from lofty people Can't see past her scarlet letter And we never even met her
If judgement looms under every steeple If lofty glances from lofty people Can't see past her scarlet letter And we never even met her
Chorus 2x
He is running a hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction
Personal Thoughts:
When I first saw this video I had to watch it in between the tears flowing down my face. I dont know how I found this song but I did. Is this my testimony right now or what. We need to look past peoples "scarlet letters" and into their scarlet eyes. Eyes scarlet from crying from long days without the inlinking of hope just pressing their nose to the grindstone. Is their someone who use to sit in your congregation who isnt there now? First send up a prayer for them. Then give them a call. Mail them a card. Let them know they are loved. Dont put it off for tommorrow. Today may be too late. They need you! Wanna know how I know just ask me. That girl in the song is me. I read someones blog on xanga and for them to confess something so big so bold on a public forum well thats big and I want to follow in their steps. I was not talking the talk and walking the walk. I was a Sunday christain and I had heaps of people fooled. Or so I thought. I got got by God and good lol He gave me the most wonderful stop sign a woman could ask for two beautiful kids. I literally was spirialing down the rabbit tunnel towards nothingness. I was living the HIGH life if you know what I mean during the week and on sunday my uniform was clean and pressed looking like the A1 soilder ready to fight the good fight. Did I have you fooled? I had my self fooled at times. Heres the kicker my true confession to all my christain brothers and sisters. I was seeing a married man who is now the father of my children. All the while Doing the Most Good. I wish I would of had a partner in Prayer to keep me accountable but the blame is on me because I knew right from wrong. For a year I ran from Christ because we know Christ will be right there waiting on us no matter what. I met him on again on the operating table the day I prayed for the first time in a long time. I am still fighting everyday with my demons of the past. I know my hope of ministry is not over. I am just building my testimony. I know I need to return to the corps, we have a new leader I just may go this Sunday. Someone hold me accountable ask me on monday what the sermon was about and remind me that the corps although good for fellowship is the place where weary moms of twins go to be refreshed and renewed in the spirit.
Wow Shannon! Thanks for sharing. I definitely encourage you to come back to the corps. We as Christians have no right to judge your past. We all have done things we're not proud of... trust me. The most important thing is what you do now; for yourself and for your children. God forgives and makes new. All is not lost. Keep seeking the Lord.
THANKS MY SISTER FOR SHARING,HOLD ON WHEN THE DAY,IS NOT GOING THE WAY IT SHOULD, WHEN THERE ARE MANY CLOUDS IN YOUR SKY, WHEN THE PATH YOU WALK ALONG,TAKES A TURN FOR THE WORSE, HOLD ON
WHEN SOMETHING YOU ARE WORKING ON,DOES NOT WORK OUT, WHEN IT SEEMS THERE ARE LESS SMILES THAN FROWN AND JUST WHEN THING SSEEM LIKE THEY ARE ABOUT TO FALL APART.... HOLD ON.
ITS OKAY TO GET DISCOURAGED BUT DON'T EVER GIVE UP, THE SUN IS ALWAYS SHINING UP THERE SOMEWHERE,SHINING IN THE SKY.......
REACH OUT AND DO YOUR BEST, TO CHASE THE CLOUDS AWAY, AND REMEMBER THAT EVERY TOMORROW IS A NEW OPPORTUNITY,TO BEGIN A NEW, IN THE LIGHT OF A BRAND NEW DAY, SO HOLD ON MY SISTER,KEEP THE FAITH,TRUST IN THE LORD AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT..HE SAYS THE BATTLE BELONG TO HIM AND NOT US, GOD BLESS YOU, AND MY SONG IS,GOD BLESS THE BROKEN ROAD[BY SELAH]
