Still

Sometimes a song just jumps out and hits a chord with my life. Sometimes it wraps up all my jumbled thoughts and feelings and plays it out all nicely in a way where I just *sigh*, and nod along, "yeah, that's it exactly."
I had that this morning.
Yesterday I went to bed feeling so... so... grateful. So blessed. And there was no doubt in my mind where this all comes from. And it leaves me feeling... in awe at His love for me. To bless me with such an amazing life, amazing experiences. And maybe it leaves me feeling a little overwhelmed at the richness of the goodness that surrounds me. I'll say it again. I am blessed. And I went to bed last night with the feelings of awe and thankfulness at this life that is mine. This morning I still felt the same, and this song hit me while I was driving to work.

Still
Sung by Tim McGraw
There's a place I like to go
Where I can hear the cotton grow
Midnight train whistles blow
A dozen miles down the road
All I really have to do is just be still
There's a place I love to be
Mom and Daddy my sister and me
First time I ever saw the beach
Back to 1983
All I really have to do is just be still
When this road gets crazy
And tries to break me
And I've had all I can stand
I can close my eyes no matter where I am
And just be still
There's a place that I can see
Where my baby's next to me
Close enough to feel the heat
All wound up beneath the sheets
All I have to do is just be still
When the road gets crazy
And tries to break me
And I've had all I can stand
I can close my eyes no matter where I am
And just be still
There's a place I need to go
Where the stained glass windows glow
Every part of me is known
Thank God I can go there
Thank God I can go there
Still
Still
Oh
Thank God I can go there still

And I don't know if it's the lyrics, or the feel of the music, or all of it tied together, but this is it. I have so much. I get to do so much, and experience so much and my life is just so full. And maybe it's because even when the road gets crazy and tries to break me, I can close my eyes no matter where I am and just be still. With Him.
