You will be my wings.

i should use more visuals in my blogs...they're fun to see in everyone else's blogs.

so. on a lighter note than my last blog, this has been in my head for the past few months off and on, and i feel like sharing it. it's a kid's movie love song that probably every girl my age has seen and owned at some point...

yay. so like i said the love song in it that is the foundation for almost every other song in the movie is one that i've always loved for its unique melody and wonderful imagery. yes, i thought of these things even as a seven-year-old with blonde bedhead watching the movie at 6am on a Saturday morning. for those who can't recall it from memory, enjoy...

yay again. well i don't love this song because it's the most realistic or romantic thing i've ever heard...if it were to actually be sung between two people, i'd probably throw up. i love it because this song actually IS a reality for me, and it has been for nine years strong now.

He captured my heart and i was brought to my shaking knees in awe and wonder. i didn't understand a love like that...how could every dream, wish, and passion i had be satisfied by a single source in a single moment. all i knew was that i had discovered both a treasure and a mystery i had no intention of throwing away, and almost a decade later i've barely comprehended the surface area of the surface, let alone scratched it.

nine years...hard to believe. some days He was the air i breathed, other days i'd blown Him off for some boy with pretty eyes. sometimes it was all i could do not to explode with joy, other times i questioned whether He really ever loved me at all, or i, Him. but here we are. He and i. though my human condition sends me all over the place with emotions and mindsets and circumstances, i have been ruined by His love. for the rest of my life, i have no choice but to run towards it or fight against it; for it is there regardless of my actions. and i'm running hard.

but who wouldn't run toward such a life?

Let Me be your wings

Let Me be your only Love

Let Me take you far beyond the stars

Let Me be your wings

Let Me lift you high above

Everything we're dreaming of will soon be ours

Anything that you desire, anything at all

Every day I'll take you higher, and I'll never let you fall

Let Me be your wings

Leave behind the world you know

For another world of wondrous things

We'll see the universe and dance on Saturn's rings

Fly with Me and I will be your wings

Anything that you desire, anything at all

Every day I'll take you higher, and I'll never let you fall

[You will be my wings] Let Me be your wings

[You will be my only Love] Get ready for another world of wondrous things

[Wondrous things are sure to happen]

We'll see the universe and dance on Saturn's rings

Heaven isn't too far [Heaven is where You are]

Stay with Me, and let Me be your wings

welcome to my life. not my dream, not my prayer, but the reality i am living in every day i am given. i pray that it is yours as well.

bed time. can't wait for His songs in my ear. :)
