All my roads, well they lead to you

It's hard to believe another year has come and gone so fast.
I was driving home from an ACTS retreat meeting tonight, and had a sudden revelation- an answer to a question that connected with another decision I struggled with last year, and came to conclusions about on the JVC Silent Retreat... this revelation followed by one of my favorite songs (from middle school years, mind you), which I hadn't heard in a long time - It's all for You, by sister hazel (see previous post for lyrics).

It suddenly dawned on me that those lyrics could actually have a deeper meaning. I turned my singing along with S.H. into a quick prayer. My heart was filled with such joy- i wanted to cry, but did my best to stay composed, so I didn't drive off the road. God works in such mysterious ways.

Despite any falling, it's all for you, God. Help me to remember that.

I still have goosebumps thinking about it. Though, it really was just less than an hour ago.

Everything connects. God is in my life, even when I forget to keep that thought daily.

This year will take more leaps of faith, I can feel it. But I'm ready for what's in store- it feels like they will be great things. I feel like this will be a year of more growth- to build upon the past couple years. Everything comes full circle. When I feel this sure about something I should really go for it- since I'm usually so indecisive.

Finally I figured out...

It's All for You - Sister Hazel

Finally I figured out
But it took a long long time
And now there's a turnabout
Maybe cause I'm trying
There's been times, I'm so confused
All my roads
Well they lead to you
I just can't turn
And walk away

It's hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I'll always be with you
Words can't say, I can't do
Enough to prove it's all for you

And I thought I'd seen it all
Cause it's been a long long time
Oh but then we'll trip and fall
Wondering if I'm blind
There's been times
I'm so confused
All my roads
Well they lead me to you
I just can't turn
And walk away

It's hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I'll always be with you
But words can't say, I can't do
Enough to prove it's all for you


Rain comes pouring down
(Pouring down)
Falling from blue skies
(Falling from blue skies)
Words without a sound
Coming from your eyes

finally I figured out
But it took a long long time
And now there's a turnabout
Maybe cause I'm trying
There's been times
I'm so confused
All my roads
Well they lead to you
I just can't turn
And walk away

It's hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I'll always be with you
But words can't say, I can't do
Enough to prove it's all for you

It's hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I'll always be with you
But words can't say, I can't do
Enough to prove it's all for you

It's hard to say,
Yea it's hard to say,
It's all for you
