Born to Believe

I have been trying to make sense of recent events in my life, that have been challenging.

On Wednesday I was tending to my garden and listening  Born to believe, by GBS

"We are the difference between the present and the past

We are the distance between the first and last.
My life will be unlimited and full shall be my past.
I am ready, I am willing, and I’m able for the task.
I was born to believe
I was born to belie-e-eve
We are one; we are strong;
We can sing a different song;
Let the right shine through the wrong
We’re all here where we belong"

I feel these lyrics hit may points of the foundation of who I am.

People matter, from a young age I stood up for what I felt to be true and fair. No one told me to I needed to.

  

As an adult I've been called an advocate, compassionate, and intense.  

I did ask for clarification on the the last one here is the kind response "i 

didn't mean "intense" in a negative way ... like: a. Deeply felt; profound: intense emotion.

b. Tending to feel deeply: an intense writer. ( yes I did  cut and paste that out of a message!).

That is me, and I do feel deeply which is a challenging way to live in a world that doesn't come with bumper pads.

 One voice can make a difference! 

As an adult I have learned that my voice can be a whisper of encouragement, or  laughter of pure joy, a prayer or a lullaby all can demonstrate my belief in you. The voice that projects a positive message to you has just as much of an impact, me.

But there are times when I can see a need not being met or a lack of understanding that has become a risk or a threat and I will not walk away or pretend I didn't see, because I do believe  there is a reason God has crossed our paths.

"We're all here where we belong"

                                                                               

                           
                                                             "And we can sing a different song"
