Most people have been sending me e-mails or bloggers have been writing blogs relating to new years, their plans, and overview of their life or their expectations of the year to come. So to some degree I feel it necessary also do something of that nature.
However, I don’t feel like it. This year feels simply like the one between 2003 and 2005, meaning the two years its’ sandwiched in between have and will have more relevance on the scope of eternal matters.
So my version of a New Year’s related blog will be the lyrics of a song off of Jeremy Camp’s newest album that really captures the mood of how I feel.
It reminds me of this time of year last year because that’s when I first heard a different version of it. I know it was a year where I grew, developed some more character in some areas, and had some experiences good and bad that I’ll always cherish and remember. However, I feel like different things are in place at the beginning of this year, to accelarate some of the promises of God on my life and the long term directions he’s given me concerning His future for me. So, that is all for now, and my sentiments are best described in this song.
Gripping on so tight
With the security I have inside
Knowing what is right
Holding onto my pride
Letting go of the things I hold so dear
Letting go of all my pain and all my fears
Letting go of the things I hold so dear
Letting go of all my pain and all my fears
I have been brought to a place
Where I want to give up everything
Where all I can do is seek Your face
And my brokeness I will bring
Letting go of the things I hold so dear
Letting go of all my pain and all my fears
Letting go of the things I hold so dear
Letting go of all my pain and all my fears
Holding on to the things I deem so strong
Holding on even though my faith has been built so long
Holding on to the things I deem so strong
Holding on to what I know
I’m letting go
