If my life had a soundtrack....

I am woman, here me roar!
I am an intelligent, funny, enthusiastic, and generally warm  person. 
I graduated college Cum Laude, and recently ended my almost 12 year career as a veterinary technician and assistant to be a stay at home mom to my now 4 children. 
I have a loving, and hard working husband who is committed to ensuring we have what we need on a daily basis. 
We have a lovely home in a beautiful condo, in a wonderful small, close knit community. 
We belong to an equally small, wonderful, and close knit church.   

But my life is far from perfect. I am far from perfect....
... I have been married, and divorced. 
I bought my own home... and lost it to foreclosure... 
I had a boyfriend, and a baby, and now a seemingly never ending custody battle...
...I have endured postpartum depression... 
... and I struggle with anxiety... 
I know I put too much thought into what others think of me, 
I know I over analyze... 
I know I don't give myself enough credit
and I know I will probably always wonder if I'm good enough. 
BUT I AM MORE.

MY husband is our SALVATION
And we our READY to feel the LIGHT on our FACE
Are you???

Tenth Avenue North, You are MORE
 
There's a girl in the corner
With tear stains on her eyes
From the places she's wandered
And the shame she can't hide

She says, "How did I get here?
I'm not who I once was.
And I'm crippled by the fear
That I've fallen too far to love"

But don't you know who you are,
What's been done for you?
Yeah don't you know who you are?

You are more than the choices that you've made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You've been remade.

Well she tries to believe it
That she's been given new life
But she can't shake the feeling
That it's not true tonight

She knows all the answers
And she's rehearsed all the lines
And so she'll try to do better
But then she's too weak to try

But don't you know who you are?

You are more than the choices that you've made,

You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
...


'Cause this is not about what you've done,
But what's been done for you.
This is not about where you've been,
But where your brokenness brings you to

This is not about what you feel,
But what He felt to forgive you,
And what He felt to make you loved.

You are more than the choices that you've made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You've been remade...
Sanctus Real, Lead Me 
 I look around and see my wonderful life
Almost perfect from the outside
In picture frames, I see my beautiful wife
Always smiling, but on the inside

Oh, I can hear her saying

Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, but what about us?

Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone

I see their faces, look in their innocent eyes
They're just children from the outside
I'm working hard, I tell myself they'll be fine
They're independent, but on the inside

Oh, I can hear them saying

Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, what about us?

Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone

So Father, give me the strength
To be everything I'm called to be
Oh Father, show me the way
To lead them

Won't You lead me?

To lead them with strong hands
To stand up when they can't
Don't want to leave them hungry for love
Chasing things that I could give up

I'll show them I'm willing to fight
And give them the best of my life
So we can call this our home
Lead me 'cause I can't do this alone

Father, lead me 'cause I can't do this alone
Third Day, Salvation
 
Lift up your face, lift up your face
Salvation is calling, salvation is calling

You have fallen so far now
You don't even know how, you are going to survive
(But) Just above the horizon
A new light is shining, breaking through the darkest night
Love is coming and it's calling out your name

Lift up your face, lift up your face
Salvation is calling, salvation is calling...

You feel like your life is fading
You're tired of waiting, for your moment to arrive
But tomorrow will bring a song that you can sing
And your hope is gonna rise
Love is coming and it's calling out your name...

Lift up your face, lift up your face
Salvation is calling, salvation is calling your name...

Oh yeah...
Do you hear Him calling?
Can you hear Him calling?
He's calling out your name...

...

Just above the horizon
A new light is shining
Salvation's on its way
