I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head saying,
You’ll never reach it.
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction.
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I’m gonna to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I’m gonna to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith

Beautiful dreadnought guitar, oh how I wish….

I love when mainstream bands aren’t afraid to show their reverence:

by Carolina Liar

Wait, I’m wrong
Should have done better than this
Please, I’ll be strong
I’m finding it hard to resist
So show me what I’m looking for

Save me, I’m lost
Oh Lord, I’ve been waiting for you
I’ll pay any cost
Save me from being confused
Show me what I’m looking for… oh Lord

Don’t let go
I’ve wanted this far too long
Mistakes become regrets
I’ve learned to love abuse
Please show me what I’m looking for

Save me, I’m lost
Oh Lord, I’ve been waiting for you
I’ll pay any cost
Just save me from being confused
Wait, I’m wrong
I can’t do better than this
I’ll pay any cost
Save me from being confused… oh Lord.

Time, where did you go?
Why did you leave me here alone?
Wait, don’t go so fast.
I’m missing the moments as they pass.
Now I’ve looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer,
So wait for me this time.

I’m down I’m down on my knees I’m begging for all your sympathy.
But you, you don’t seem to care.
You humble people everywhere.
Now I’ve looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer.
I’ll take what you give me. Please know that I’m learning,
So wait for me this time.

I should’ve known better.
I shouldn’t have wasted those days.
And afternoons and mornings
I threw them all away.
Now this is my time,
I’m going to make this moment mine.
(I shouldn’t have wasted those days)
I’ll take what you give me.
Please know that I’m learning
I’ve looked in the mirror
My world’s getting clearer

So wait for me this time.

{Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear}

[Lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel]

Whatever tomorrow brings I’ll be there
With open arms and open eyes.

Cause I am a Superwoman,
Yes I am (yes she is).
Even when I’m a mess,
I still put on a vest,
with an “S” on my chest, ohhh yes,
I’m a Superwoman, yes I am.
-Alicia Keys

We’ve all been sick the past couple of days… Logan getting the worst of it with his fevers getting as high as 103.8°F (39.8°C) on Thursday and Friday night. He’d break his fever in the morning and then it would come back again. Last night though it didn’t come back and he’s happy as a clam so far today. Now we’re just a group of coughing, sneezing, kleenex clutching sickees.

I try to drink as much vitamin c as possible and if I even sense a small headache coming I take a couple of Tylenol right away. My being sick won’t put me out of commission as “mommy” any day. I still have to trudge along and make sure my mini-me’s are taken care of and getting better– especially James, who attends kindergarten and can’t miss too much of school. There’s also hubby of course, who is sick along with the three of us, so it definitely doesn’t give me much room to be sick myself.
I don’t mind so much though, because on the rare days when I am the one who is sick, my boys all take care of and pamper me and make my job all worth while.
