Blue

Last Sunday, as I was staring out of a greyhound bus on the way to my brother's house in Orlando, I looked up into the sky. Every time I see the clouds and the clear blue backdrop, my heart longs for Jesus to come back soon. I took a drink of the bottled water I purchased back in Tampa. It occurred to me that someone else may also want Jesus to "break open the sky" and be without any water somewhere else in the world. I enjoyed the trip and listened to different tunes that I connect with emotionally. There are lines from different songs that stand out to me.

"Everything I know is wrong. Everything has fallen apart. And that's the hardest part."-Hardest Part by Coldplay

"Did I get lost while I was gone? I traveled space for much too long. But there's a planet I have found, and you are far away for now."-Space Travel by Yellowcard

"All we know for sure, is all that we are fighting for. Baby don't forget. You haven't lost it all yet."-Syndicate by The Fray

Maybe these lyrical phrases are strange to others, but they are special to me. "Hardest Part" is when I finally decided to hang up my music career. "Space Travel" is coming back to reality after dating someone and being really grateful that they're miles away. "Syndicate" re-affirms that there are some things worth struggling for, and also the fact that I will never lose Jesus, even if I lose everything else.
