It Is What It Is.........

I saw a show tonight so profound it may quite possibly have changed my life. About a man dieing from Cancer. A noble, brave, honorable type of man. The kind of man that has left footprints in the souls of almost every person he has crossed....

While the man's courage and conviction of his destiny left me in awe, his wife who will one day be the survivor of the legacy he leaves behind, affected me just as much.

When speaking of her husband's impending death she said, "It is, what it is." Simple and pure, spoken in truth and compassion. A fact she cannot change but instead embraces with knowledge that how she deals with her loss may be greater then pretending it never existed.

We all experience loss, lose grasp of the very things that make us feel alive, make us feel loved, makes us part of who we are. Somewhere along the line, someone takes a left, when we take a right and as we look over our shoulder in search of our destiny, the plan we envisioned, the dream we nurtured we find it running in the opposite direction of no fault of our own.

Maybe, just maybe our destiny, is bigger then a person, place or thing. Maybe our destiny is a chance not taken on their part, a path the lazy man cannot follow, a destination not achievable by all. Maybe our desires are greater, grander, felt with more conviction then theirs. Maybe, just maybe, life 'It is what it is.' Maybe it's God letting us know, that there is something so much more in store for us, then that little thing, person, goal that we thought meant everything......

Maybe it really isn't maybe. Perhaps things happen for a reason. To learn and grow bigger then the things we thought were possible. Maybe God believes we are capable of so much more. I think beliveing in ourselves is far more important then believing in those around us...... Maybe surviving has everything to do with ourselves, and maybe we deserve so much more then "that" person is capable of giving, maybe we give "them" so much more then they deserve. Maybe it's up to us, Maybe, "It Is What It Is".............

Have A Litte Faith In Me........

When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Just let my love throw a spark,
baby Have a little faith in me

When the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try,
baby Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

When your secret heart
Cannot speak so *easily*
Come here darlin’
From a whisper start
To have a little faith in me

When your back’s against the wall
Just turn around, you will see I will catch ya,
I will catch your fall
Just have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

Well, I’ve been loving you for such a long, long time baby
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend *for you and me*
Cause for us there is no end
All you gotta do is have a little faith in me

I said I will hold you up, I will hold you up
Your strength gives me enough
So have a little faith in me

Hey baby, oh, baby
All ya gotta do is have a little faith in me
All ya gotta do is have a little faith in me
A little faith in me

I'm happy to say, today, I believe in me..............
