My CD player in my car has been broken for a while now. I HATE that!! I am so spoiled to having a CD player, as I'm sure most of us are. Anyway, I finally got a new one. I had bought a CD around the time the player messed up, and I really hadn't had the opportunity to listen to it since. So, I popped it in a couple of days ago, and this song just blew me away. It's Awaken by Natalie Grant. The first verse sounds so much like where I am, and the chorus and following verses sound like where I want to be!!
SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I'M JUST EXISTING
I'M NOT REALLY LIVING
I'M ONLY WATCHING THE TIME SLIP AWAY
I'VE FORGOTTEN WHO I AM IN YOU
I'M NOT WHO I'M MEANT TO BE
I'M DRIFTING FARTHER AWAY FROM MY DESTINY
AWAKEN MY HEART, AWAKEN MY SOUL
AWAKEN YOUR POWER AND TAKE CONTROL
AWAKEN THE PASSION TO LIVE FOR YOU, LORD
AWAKEN ME
MY SOUL IS LONGING, MY HEART IS SEARCHING
I'M DESPERATE FOR YOU TO MOVE
GIVE ME A HUNGER, PULL ME CLOSER
I'M CRYING OUT TO YOU
AWAKEN MY HEART, AWAKEN MY SOUL
AWAKEN YOUR POWER AND TAKE CONTROL
AWAKEN THE PASSION TO LIVE FOR YOU, LORD
OPEN MY EYES SO I CAN SEE YOUR PRESENCE
SWELLING INSIDE
WAKE ME UP, 'CAUSE I CAN'T LIVE ANOTHER MINUTE
IF I'M NOT SHINING YOUR LIGHT
AWAKEN MY HEART, AWAKEN MY SOUL
AWAKEN THE PASSION IN ME
LORD, AWAKEN ME TO LIVE MY DESTINY
LORD, AWAKEN ME AND SHINE YOUR LIGHT THROUGH ME
Well...That just really spoke to me, so I thought I would share it with you. I don't think there is anything else to say about it...the words are pretty straight forward. Well, I guess I can say one thing about it...WOW!

Yes! I have been feeling like I am just 'here' for about a year now--unsure of my purpose, my goals, myself in general. Satan really tries to make us forget why we're here sometimes.
that was powerful...i'm behind the loop - who IS Natalie Grant and how do I hear some more?
thanks for the transparency...it's good to know others feel like that too. especially those as together as you.
thanks for all your comments. keep posting, you never know who is reading.
