{fix my eyes.}

what is seen is temporary. 

driving this morning i heard one of my favorite christian songs that i've probably 100 times but this morning it felt different, and i turned it up and listened even more closely than normal. 

it's called fix my eyes by king & country. 

you can listen here...fix my eyes by king & country

"Fix My Eyes"

Hit rewind, click delete

Stand face to face with the younger me

All of the mistakes

All of the heartbreak

Here's what I'd do differently, I'd

Love like I'm not scared

Give when it's not fair

Live life for another

Take time for a brother

Fight for the weak ones

Speak out for freedom

Find faith in the battle

Stand tall but above it all

Fix my eyes on You

On You

I learned the lines and talked the talk

(Everybody knows it, everybody knows it)

But the road less traveled is hard to walk

(Everybody knows it, everybody knows)

It takes a soldier

Who knows his orders

To walk the walk I'm supposed to walk, and

The things of earth are dimming

In the light of Your glory and grace

I'll set my sights upon Heaven

I'm fixing my eyes on You, on You

I'm fixing my eyes on You, on You

I'm fixing my eyes

-------------------------------------------------------------------

here's what hit home:

we get one chance here on earth to follow in those footsteps, to fix our eyes on him & do good for others.

i found myself reflecting and questioning that a lot. 

life is fast. it is not promised for tomorrow. 

do we get caught up in what seems like the "BIG" stuff? i know i can sometimes...

--OR--

do we sit, see whats in front of ourselves and have no regrets?

the lyrics say it all "but the road less traveled is hard to walk"  - Yes, yes it is. 

but here's the good thing, it's not too late. we have been granted another precious day to do with it what we feel led to do. 

how can you change the world? or maybe just one little moment in the world around you? 

one line touched my heart specifically "live life for another...fight for the weak ones" 

reflecting on personal things happening, this just touched me. 

just another reassurance that while we are continually living in darkness and still trying to figure out our family's normal - we MUST live for another (my brother) who didn't get the opportunity and FIGHT for the weak ones and continue to make good change along the way. 

isn't it just crazy how one song you've heard a million times can take on a whole different meaning on a random, gloomy, cold sunday? 

this morning completely changed my mood:: no matter how easy it would be to give up...

--I WILL ALWAYS BE FIGHTING FOR THE WEAK ONES--

 

we have one beautiful life to live on this earth, what will you choose to do with your days? 

CHANGING > COMPLAINING

thanks for letting me ramble.

happy glorious sunday y'all. 

now crank up that song & change the world!
