This time, Where I Belong will be multi-faceted. I know. It's revolutionary! Who would have ever thought of blogging about more than one idea? The title of the blog is a tribute to a Chris Rice song, "Belong". I'll post the lyrics below. However, the meaning of the song is only a small part of my purpose for blogging.
I am 37 1/2 years old. I still feel as if I have not "arrived" at the place God has planned for me. This blog will be about me discovering where I belong spiritually, intellectually, as a mother, as a wife, and as an individual. This will include spiritual ideas, educational pursuits, and ways I relate to my children, my husband and my mother. Also, since I am well on the path to losing at least 75 pounds, I will probably include some pictures and anecdotes from that journey.
I warn you: it won't be pretty. Any of it. I hope you'll stick around. Leave a comment occasionally if you'd like. I'd love to hear from you.
Belong
Chris Rice
Fading memories ignored
I crawl across the forest floor
Pool reflects an orphan child
Dirty, lost, alone and wild
Fatherless and nameless still
Fallen heart and broken
Will there ever be a place where I belong
I cower ‘neath the monster trees
And try to stand on tired feet
But gravity knocks me to the ground
Where I give up, and tears roll down
I claw the dust and beg the end
Curse the day that I began
To hope there’d be a place where I belong
I hear a sound I recognize
You lift my chin and seek my eyes
Song of love You sing to me
I ache to sing it back to Thee
"Father Love prepares a place
Brother Jesus leads the way
Follow to the place where you belong!"
How did I miss this wondrous song?
The forest sang it all along
"River rinses all your shame
Father offers you His name
Father Love prepares a home
Brother Jesus leads you on
Follow to the place where you belong!"
"Father Love prepares a place
Brother Jesus leads the way
Follow to the place where you belong
Follow to the place where you belong!"
