Grateful For Music Challenge Day 6

Song: All That Matters

Artist: From, Finding Neverland (the musical)

I technically already shared this song back in September, but it's so good, it's getting it's own, separate post!

As I begin my new week (aka LIFE!) of living more confidently, courageously and faithfully, I needed a "power anthem" song to pump me up and encourage me to stick to it! This one has been going through my head all day so I figure that's a sign! I love the lyrics and message about how our actions and the risks we take (or don't take) determine our future. "All that matters NOW." It's the choices we make NOW. If I wake up and choose laziness and fear, then I'll have a slothful, unproductive day. BUT, if I choose to wake up early, start my morning off right, I feel better overall and get more accomplished. We can CHOOSE to change the way we think. Each day is a new day of opportunity full of possibility, growth and change. "the mind is a powerful place and what you feed it can affect you in a powerful way. It's pretty cool, right? Yeah, but it's not always safe. Just hang with me, this'll only take a moment, OK? Just think about it for a second, if you look at your face, every day when you get up and think you'll never be great, you'll never be great—not because you're not, but the hate will always find a way to cut you up and murder your faith!" 🔥🔥👊 NF - The Search 

There are days when I feel so afraid

I can hardly remember to breathe

When reality crashes in wave after wave

Pulling me further beneath

So what's the point in planning for a future

If it all can be stolen away?

It's all I can do to hold on and survive

When the colors have faded to gray

But my children need so much more from me

And they give me the strength to go on

Whatever may come

All that matters now

Is where I go from here

There's an easier way if I live for today

The beating of my heart

Is all that matters

He makes sense of all of my chaos

In ways I could never explain

He turns all of my sadness into a smile

He's helping me live life again

It's the light in the eyes of my children

It's the sound of their laughter once more

It's a glimpse of a life I dared only to dream

And a dream only life could restore

And I know that some may not understand

But he's guiding me safely to shore

Not afraid anymore

All that matters now

Is where I go from here

There's an easier way if I live for today

The singing in my heart

Is all that matters

It takes me far away

There's an easier way if I live for today

The singing in my heart

Is all that matters
