Seasons of Love - Nov. 30, 2005

Seasons Of Love

525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear. 525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In 525,600 minutes -
how do you measure a year in the life?

How about love? How about love?
How about love? Measure in love.
Seasons of love.

525,600 minutes! 525,000 journeys to plan. 525,600 minutes -
how can you measure
the life of a woman or man?

In truths that she learned,
or in times that he cried.
In bridges he burned, or
the way that she died.

It’s time now to sing out,
tho the story never ends
let's celebrate
remember a year in the life of friends.
Rememberthe love! Remember the love!
Remember the love!
Measure in love.
Seasons of love! Seasons of love.

There was a post recently on the Sonlight Forums that asked if you hear music in your head, all the time, some of the time. I hear music in my head all of the time. It is random. I can't control it. I can't change the channel if I don't like the song. I thought everyone was life this. For the past two days, this has been the song in my head. It is from the musical/movie Rent. I don't want to change the channel. I want to be reminded of fragility of life and inspired to make the most of every moment. I haven't found anyone to discuss this movie with ... most people I know just want to argue that it isn't a movie a Christian should see. I saw it Monday with my 19 yod. Emotions, questions, challenges are still pounding in my head. What to do? How to live? How to die? More, much more. I hope that in the near future, the dark clouds will blow away so that I can make sense of the pounding waves of thought. There is an important message in the midst of it, I know. Trying to hang on until it is revealed.

Cynthia, this post and the previous one are so TRUE! I feel the Lord desperately trying to 'get me to see' the big picture. The only picture that really matters. His picture. And His is soooooo vastly different from the world's picture.

He desires for us to abandon ourselves and lives to Him and live in freedom in Him while the world says freedom is to do what we desire which actually leads to bondage.

May God bless me with His grace today to grab with both hands what He puts in the front of me ..... instead of clinching my fists and trying to manipulate my agenda for the day!

This was a quote from my devotional this a.m. :
"Self-pity is of the devil and if I wallow in it I cannot be used by God for His purpose in the world. Doing this creates for me my own cozy 'world within the world,' and God will not be allowed to move me from it because of my fear of being 'frost-bitten.' " (Oswald Chambers)

Embrace Life!! I love that thought. Now.... if only I can surrender and abandon myself to Jesus moment by moment through the power of His Spirit and Might!! God Help Me!!!
