Hello, my old heart,
How have you been?
Are you still there inside my chest?
I've been so worried,
You've been so still,
Barely beating at all.
Oh, don't leave me here alone.
Don't tell me that we've grown for having loved a little while.
Oh, I don't want to be alone.
I want to find a home, and I want to share it with you.
Hello, my old heart,
It's been so long.
Since I've given you away.
Every day I add another stone
To the walls I've built around you
To keep you safe.
Oh, don't leave me here alone.
Don't tell me that we've grown for having loved a little while.
Oh, I don't want to be alone.
I want to find a home, and I want to share it with you.
Hello, my old heart,
how have you been?
How is it being locked away?
Don't you worry.
In there you're safe.
And it's true, you'll never beat,
But you'll never break.
Nothing lasts forever.
Some things aren't meant to be.
But you'll never find the answers
Til you set your old heart free.
Til you set your old heart free
Some people may look at my life and think I'm living it up, frolicking around without a care -- with lots of mulah to support myself. Although, close friends tell me I shouldn't care what people think, I do want to address that assumption a bit...
My time in Hawaii consisted of exploring the beautiful beaches and tropical landscapes, yes, but I also got a job (Daylight Mind Coffee Company) that I worked 5 days a week while trying to start a business; there's not much in my bank account that I can call my own (due to a lovely thing we like to call "school loans"). Josie and I made a simple decision to say "yes" to a call and the beautiful thing about our friendship and our relationship with that Caller, is that we are two crazy lady's that desire to make it all happen!
When Josie said, "Hey, I'm gonna visit you in Los Angeles... Hey, I'm gonna come to Ohio!" -- she did! I knew I had found a friend who was willing to lay down some things for a friendship with me and to pursue a deeper relationship with God together.
I have been reminded by many of my close friends, the freedom of just saying "yes" ... Stepping out of your security and comfort and answering a higher calling. It's been tough financially, physically and emotionally in the last three months. But, I am beginning to name that fear inside my heart and replace it with hope. I am taking small steps in moving past being motivated by fear; the fear of missing out, failure, the fear of pain and loss of control. &when you step out of that safe zone, you discover what drives you... And you learn so much about people and about yourself.
Bottom line, if you want to do something... and it's a desire in your heart, and you hear a whispering, calling you to a scary place, I say... Jump.
