"Everyone knows that I was the good girl

I did my best to make everyone happy with me

But then I found out that it was impossible to please the whole crowd

So I spoke up

And I spoke out

I learned that love don't hold its tongue

And passion doesn't bow to what they think

It's You and me

Sometimes it's painful to be brave

To look fear in the face and know your name

To find your strength"

        These are the lyrics of Steffany Gretzingers song I Spoke Up. The first time I hear these lyric, I cried. I honestly did because they touched my heart so much. 

        If you don't know me, I've always be the "good girl". I've always tried to please everybody. My family, my friends, and even the people I didn't know. And to this day I still try to please everyone around me and get there approval. I want to make everyone happy and I want them to like me. But like Steffany said in her song; "its impossible to please the whole crowd". In this past year especially, I'm becoming coming to learn that. There are times that I've been in tears because there are things I'm truly passionate about that I want to pursue but other people want me to pursue something different. Or there are two people I love so much but they both want something different, and I can't decided who to please. How can you choose one other the other?

        This doesn't have to be this way though. What I've learned, and I'm still learning, is that you only have to please God. No one else. Not even your family or closest loved one. Passion doesn't bow to what they all think. Its just you and God. 

        Sometimes, God matches up what He wants and what your family or loved one wants so you all can agree. But not always… and when that happens… always follow God. His will for you will appear for you the more and more you pray and read His Word. All you have to do is earnestly ask with all your heart. Sometimes is can be as simple as, "Jesus, please help me. What do you want me to do, what way should I follow. Whats Your plan and will for me?".  

        I know sometimes it's "painful to be brave" and "to look fear in the face" but God will always be there for you and always have your hand on you. Even when it doesn't feel like it. You have just to have faith.

Today has been a tiring day for me. That doesn't mean I'm giving up on this write 31 day challenge. Oh no, not this early. I still have energy to write out a post. It just may be shorter today. I hope you don't mind to much. 

Yesterday I posted a video of Steffany Gretzinger's song, Out of Hiding. Today I'm posting a video about how the album, The Undoing (which features the song Out of Hiding) was written. Steffany talks a little bit about how she wrote the album and her life. I find this video so inspiration. It moved me to go sit down at my own piano and just pray and worship to the Lord.  I hope this does the same for you. 

If you are interested in buying Steffany's album The Undoing, click here.

P.S. I know I've been posting a lot of videos lately, but I assure you, I do have more "writing" blog posts coming! I just have to have the time to write them all out and not be so tired when I do so. :)

"Come out of hiding your safe here with me. Theres no need to cover what I already see…" That is the opening lyrics to Steffany Gretzinger's song, Out of Hiding. 

This is absolutely adore this song. It cut into my heart and it leaves me knowing that I am not alone. That I can totally be myself when I'm with Jesus and I don't have to cover anything. I can just bring it all to Him. 

I hope you enjoy this song and it speaks to you like it has to me.
