I'm Letting Go

On September 15th, I wrote a post entitled "A Life Changing Conversation" and the day when we had that conversation (I believe the post came a few days later) we got in the car after church and heard a song that cemented everything I had been feeling. I LOVE the feeling when music says so perfectly everything you are trying to say. If only I had one ounce of musical talent I'd like to think I would be a song writer, but that would probably also require having talent with words :)

I have been trying to remember anything about the song, since all I could remember was that it related to us giving our life over to God 100%. I have been boycotting country music to only listen to Christian music with the hopes of hearing it. Well, that day finally came and tonight heading home from my Holiday Quarterly Class at Banana, I heard just the opening music and knew it was the song I had so patiently been waiting for (ironically enough, that was the lesson I taught to my preschoolers at Sunday School this morning!)

I hope that one day I'll be able to look back at my blog and find good memories in each post. Maybe I'll even make it into a book or something, so I want to have the lyrics for the theme song from the early months of my marriage. I even hope that this song will continue to keep our relationship centered on what is truly important to us: God, each other, and those closest to us. I would love for this to be something we can look back on long after the song is off the radio and remember how excited we were to do just what Francesca Battistelli is singing about in this song.

I'm Letting Go

My heart beats, standing on the edge
But my feet have finally left the ledge

Like an acrobat
There’s no turning back

Chorus
I’m letting go
Of the life I planned for me
And my dreams
Losing control
Of my destiny
Feels like I’m falling and that’s what it’s like to believe
So I’m letting go

This is a giant leap of faith
Trusting and trying to embrace

The fear of the unknown
Beyond my comfort zone

Chorus
I’m letting go
Of the life I planned for me
And my dreamsLosing control
Of my destiny
Feels like I’m falling and that’s what it’s like to believe
So I’m letting go

Giving in to your gravity
Knowing You are holding me
I’m not afraid

Feels like I’m falling and that’s what it’s like to believe
Feels like I’m falling and this is the life for me
