STRENGTH WILL RISE AS YOU WAIT UPON THE LORD.
THIS LYRIC HAS BEEN THE THEME TO MY LIFE THE PAST YEAR. NEVER HAVE I HAD SUCH A PASSION AND HEART TO STAND UP FOR MY BELIEFS. MY CONVICTIONS. MY MORALS. I GOT TIRED OF CONFORMING TO THE WORLD. TO WHAT A RELATIONSHIP SHOULD LOOK LIKE, INSIDE AND OUT. ROMANTIC AND FAMILY. I HAVE LEARNED THAT CUTTING OFF A GROWTH IN YOUR LIFE, THOUGH IT MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE "BAD", BECAUSE IT'S NOT WHAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO, IS REWARDING. THOUGH MOMENTARY PAIN MIGHT ATTACH ITSELF TO THE HEART, THE PEACE THAT COMES FROM KNOWING THAT YOU CHOSE YOUR CREATOR OVER HUMAN EMOTIONS IS PRICELESS. I KNOW TO MOST I SEEM LIKE A SARCASTIC, UNREALISTIC CREATURE INHABITING THE EARTH, WHO'S ONLY PASSION IS HER OBSESSION WITH JIMMY FALLON, BUT FIRST AND FOREMOST MY PASSION FOR THE LORD OUTWEIGHS EVERYTHING. EVEN JIMMY. (CRAZY I KNOW. WE ALL KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT THAT MAN.) THE LORD HAS BLESSED ME WITH MANY TRIALS OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS THAT MAY HAVE SUCKER PUNCHED ME TO THE GROUND, BUT I HAVE ALWAYS RISEN, WITH STRENGTH, BECAUSE I WAITED ON THE LORD.
PS.
REALLY OVER THE 110 DEGREE WEATHER TURNING MY WORK PLACE INTO A MOCK HIGH SCHOOL LOCKER ROOM, CONSUMED WITH ENOUGH STENCH TO KNOCK OUT A NEW YORK SEWER RAT.
