so today, I'm gonna share a beautiful song of bravery by britt nicole! the song brings memories of the years when i was so wide eyed with so much hope that my plans were gonna play out. you know, when i thought there was no way God was going to deny me the scholarship i wanted with all my heart right after I completed uni. The world was before me and i couldn't wait to make a change.
oh, but He had other plans. plans that i thought were too different from who i thought i was. plans that seemed way, way, way too good to be true to the point that they completely freaked me out.
but as the years have been passing by, I'm beginning to realize how perfectly faithful Father is. so not getting the scholarship for the program i wanted stung. buuuttt, He's so gooood. He's provided me with a scholarship to study what He wanted me to study for my masters all along! And me + God, we're still gonna make the change I always wanted. And it's gonna be waaaayyyyyy better than my dreams. some dreams must die for better things to be birthed.
so, yah, enjoy the song.
still that girl// britt nicole
Dreams, they come
Plans, they change. Yeah, we’re gonna break
Things we face make us who we are
Baby, you’re a star shining in the dark
Let’s go back to the summer,
The summer when we dreamed in love
Let’s go back again, let’s go back again
Yeah, back again, my friend to the summer when…
I’m holding a picture from 7 years back
I smile at the memory, it’s smiling right back at me,
and I see
Brown hair and bright eyes, such a beautiful blue,
A heart full of laughter with nothing to lose
That’s how I remember you
You were young, you were free
And you dared to believe you could be the girl
Who could change the world
Then your life took a turn
And you fell and it hurt
But you’re still that girl
And you’re gonna change this world
Woa oo oo o o o, you’re still that girl
Sometimes life don’t go the way you planned
And we all have days when we just don’t understand
Searching for meaning, it’s not always easy
But your story’s not over, it’s still being told
Your sunrise is coming, brighter than gold
Lets go back again to the summer when
What if the picture is bigger than you see
And God has you right where He wants you to be
Just listen to your heart
He’s telling you with every beat
You’re still that girl
You were young, you were free
And you dared to believe you could be the girl
Who could change the world
Then your life took a turn
And you fell and it hurt
But you’re still that girl
And you’re gonna change this world
Woa oo oo o o o, you’re still that girl
I see it in your eyes, I see it in your smile
You’re still that girl"In their hearts man plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps."// proverbs 16:9
Remember that no matter how twisted your plans get, God has better plans for your precious life. It's gonna take some time, but things will pan out so well and fine if you truly trust in Him and never give up. no matter where your story has gotten to, you're still that girl and you're gonna change this world one person at a time. :)
and it doesn't even matter that i've blogged about this song before. ;)
