A new beginning?
Well, today is my last day at work - and I figure it's a good way to start off my blog.
Was walking into work, listening to the Lifehouse CD (it's really awesome btw) - and "Everything" was playing. When I'm nervous, I tend to put the music up and block things out - and when that happens, I feel like I'm walking in a movie - everything kinda slows down, and I'm the only one there. Alot of thoughts rushing through my head, what am I doing, where am I going, etc. Today's my last day at work, and while it's exhilerating to some extent - I mean the shackles are being untied - its also a little scary. For a while there, things had slowed down alot, but suddenly over the last two weeks - life has been full speed ahead Alhamdullilah, and I know that its going to speed up over the next month with Mo's wedding date approaching. I almost feel, even though I'm not really doing much with it, that its a date that I'm shooting for, and that everything has revolved around. Once its over, I'm not sure what I'll be shooting for.
InshaAllah all will be good - everything comes in due time, and I'm really looking forward to India. Looking forward to lazy breakfasts (and lunches and dinners ;), catching up with the fam and friends, getting to know the new babies, driving (or crawling) through mad Bangalore traffic, heading out with my camera maybe. Alhamdullilah, alot to look forward to.
But this morning, I needed to slow down, and "Everything" was my remedy.
"You are the strength,
that keeps me walking.
You are the hope,
that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose...you're everything.
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?"
