FREE: By Shawn McDonald

For L--
FREE by SHAWN MCDONALD
 
I feel like the weight of the world is all
Crashing down on me
And some how I just don't believe this how
It is suppose to be

And all this expectation on
The way I'm suppose to live
Becomes my minds distraction
With nothing left to give

You said your burden is light
And your load is no more
You said your ways are right
And in you I will soar

I want to be free
Free to dance and free to sing
Free to live and love and free
Oh, free to be me

I feel like my heart is being beat
Down into the ground
In you I'm longing for some peace
To be found

I know the heaviness that's
Making me cold
Is stealing my youthful soul and
Making me old

You said your burden is light
And your load is no more
You said your ways are right
And in you I will soar

I want to be free
Free to dance and free to sing
Free to live and love and free
Oh, free to be me

I want to be free, yeah
Free to dance and free to sing
Free to live and love and free
Oh, free to be me

Wanna be free
Free to dance and free to sing
Free to live and love
And free to be me

Wanna be free, yeah
Free to dance and free to sing
Free to live and love and free
Oh, free to be me

LOSS: KEROUAC STYLE

 
Daily Kerouac (@DailyKerouac)
He was out to get back everything he'd lost; there was no end to his loss; this thing would drag on forever.

My feelings exactly.

AWAKEN

 
matt dallas (@themattdallas)
“A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born.
— Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I look back at who I was, and she feels like a complete stranger most of the time. Especially if I see a picture of the old physically healthy me.
 
There's a huge difference between physically healthy and spiritually heathy. If I had to choose, I choose spiritually healthy. Most of you wouldn't. Don't. I know I wouldn't have before Stills.
 
I hope that blogs like mine and books by my favorite authors and with God's help and guidance throughout your story, you get to live, so that you can be slowly born.
 
My birth got kickstarted, forced, with the tragedy of a single event.
 
My hope is for yours to occur more slowly, more beautifully.
 
But if that single event is thrust upon you, may the stranger awoken within be slowly born into the spiritual child God created you to be.
 
Us to be.

WHEN GOD SAYS "NO"

 
Bob Goff (@bobgoff)
Sometimes we won't get our way. We need to stop acting like we're going to run away with the circus every time God says “no.”

CHRISTIAN: ADMIT IT

 
Nicky Gumbel (@nickygumbel)
I'm not a Christian because I'm strong and have it all together. I'm a Christian because I'm weak and admit I need a Savior.

TRUTH VS. FEELINGS

The measure of all of the good God’s doing in our lives isn’t always how we’re feeling about it. @lovedoes

OFFERING

 
Daily Kerouac (@DailyKerouac)
They never asked, I kept offering.

This is truly beautiful. I just wish people did this for me. I bet we all do.

INTENTION

 
C. S. Lewis (@CSLewis)
The question is not what we intended ourselves to be, but what He intended us to be when He made us. #cslewis

I intended to be an athlete or an athletic trainer and serve MY interests.
God intended me to be a writer and serve HIS interests.
I am glad He let me live a little of both. I didn't deserve that.
And I'm glad He got the final decision.
