I guess because of the post I wrote yesterday (”Knowing Him Best“), I dreamed about the movie “Forrest Gump”. Let me explain:
In my dream, I could see Forrest trying to run with his braces on his legs, and I could hear Jenny yelling, “Run, Forrest, run!”. All through the night, my mind kept flashing back to the moment when the braces fell off and Forrest began to run unfettered…like the wind.
This is what love does. This is what a soul mate can do. A woman can give a man the courage and strength to run - to break free of his failures and his past - to run and be strong. And a man can give a woman the shelter she’s never known. He can protect her from the things that haunt her…bulldozing the bad places and keeping her safe.
I don’t know why I dreamed of “Forrest Gump” - I wouldn’t have put it at the top of my list of romantic movies…
All around me Acoustic FULL

This song has been thundering around in my head lately.
The sound quality of this video is not the greatest, but you can check out the official video @ YouTube by typing in “Flyleaf All Around Me accoustic”.
The rock version is hardcore…awesome. [youtube=http://youtube.com/watch?v=COqhFdHsi6M&feature=related] It moves me.
Chris Daughtry: Over You

Another Sunday at C3…another day of inspiration…and closure.
If you watch the official “Over You” music video, you’ll see that’s it’s about letting go of things that hurt us…keep us in bondage…addictions.
We’re all addicts to something…or in recovery. One of the things that I’ve struggled with is the addiction of needing the approval of others. It’s like a drug, and I had to recognize it, turn my back on it, and get over it…
Now, every Sunday is another step in my recovery. Sometimes I’m tempted to miss the trappings of my disease…especially relationships that were lost…in some cases torn from me - and I really “never saw it coming…” - but, each new day is another step…
…another piece of my heart being put back together.
PaRaMoRe — We Are Broken
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSrvWsT75qs]
This song has played in my head for days…thanks to Kayleigh - I can’t get the words out of my head.
When I’m driving down the road - I hear it. When I’m doing laundry - I hear it. It follows me everywhere. I guess because it’s us…it’s me…it’s all of us who are…human. All of us who are broken…want to be whole…need protection.
healing.
restoration.
And that includes…all of us.
So, I guess that’s why I hear it - why it echos within me - it’s a part of who I am…like breathing . “…Tower over me.”
You cut me open and I keep bleeding love... 2011/03/25
Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it - some bathe in it like cheap cologne. 2011/03/24
