Risk

I have to admit that I find it rather interesting that two of the most important lessons I have been learning over the last few weeks happen to be found in my two new favorite songs, yet it was only after listening to them quite a few times that I discovered this fact. Perhaps instead of attempting to explain, I'll just let the songs speak for themselves this time...

"You know we don't have to wait until the end of the night just to say that somethings wrong and maybe nobody's right...steady now, we're in this thing together." (Steady Now -Brandon Heath)

"Love does not run, Love does not hide, Love does not keep locked inside." (Love Never Fails -Brandon Heath)

In the end it all boils down to taking risks. The risk of letting yourself feel instead of denying, the risk of sharing those thoughts and feelings with others. The risk of being perfectly open and not hiding, the risk of trusting and loving. They've been some of the scariest risks I've ever taken, but the results have been oh, so rewarding, and I cannot help being happy that I am walking down this path, as frightening and uncomfortable as it may be at times.
