I struggle with that feeling sometimes. It overwhelms me and humbles me. Some days I get so happy that I want to cry and other days I get so frustrated with waiting my turn. Knowing that I am capable of fulfilling my God-given potential is just as scary as the prospect of falling short.
I had my Ipod on shuffle today and a song by Nina Simone that I would usually skip right over snuck its way right into my playlist while I was studying. I listened to it once, then again... then again. Lol. It's amazing how someone else's words can speak so clearly to your own sentiments.
I know this seems like I'm rambling, but I just wanted to share the song with you in the hopes that one of you can relate. Here's to you, my readers, my loves...
I SHALL BE RELEASED:
they say everything can be replaced
they say every distance is not near
so i remember every face
of every man who put me here
i see my light come shining
from the west down to the east
any day now, any day now
i shall be released
they say every man needs protection
they say every man must fall
so i swear i see my reflection
somewhere inside these walls
i see my light come shining
from the west unto the east
any day now, any day now
i shall be released
i see my light come shining
from the west down to the east
any day now, any day now
i shall be released
they say everything can be replaced
they say every distance is not near
so i remember every face
of every man who put me here
i see my light come shining
from the west down to the east
any day now, any day now
i shall be released
they say every man needs protection
they say every man must fall
so i swear i see my reflection
somewhere inside these walls
i see my light come shining
from the west unto the east
any day now, any day now
i shall be released
i see my light come shining
from the west down to the east
any day now, any day now
i shall be released
Simple, but poignant.... Soon, ya'll. Soon.
