Have you ever been running through life and catch a glimpse of an image that immediately reminded you of a significant moment in your life. How about a certain smell that you rarely experience that causes a memory in your mind to come flooding to the forefront in your life at that very moment? How about the power of a song? When a song comes on the radio and you immediately find yourself drawn into the memory of a scene that you once experienced. This happened to me this weekend as I was flipping through Kate's IPod as I was driving on a long road trip by myself. I heard a song by Ginny Owens called If You Want Me To. I think because I was alone and able to relax and enjoy the quiet drive I immediately found myself recalling feelings of long ago. This memory was probably placed in a time in my life when things were at their worst - those close to me will know what I'm talking about. A time where everything seemed to be falling apart all around me and no friends or family to help me out. I was all alone in the world and it did not care what happened to me. I was on a spiritual journey of sorts at this time. I had always proclaimed to be a Christian all of my life but this was probably the first time in my life that I actually backed up those claims by dedicating my life to really living that way. So here I was trying to do the right thing in every situation under my control (which by the way we have none), and so many things were falling apart at my feet. The emotional pain - forggedda 'bout it. One day I happened to run across this song for the first time on my XM Radio and I don't know what it was that drew me to it because I barely caught any of it but I decided to go buy the album anyway. When I heard the lyrics it pretty much summed up all that I was going through at the time and seemed to bring much peace to my situation. It was the worst time in my life, yet I had much joy because I knew that God had been there for me all along and He would continue to be there for me always. I have it HERE if you would like to listen. Even today as I remember those difficult times, while listening to the lyrics what really stands out for me is God's comfort through this song in my situation.
