Let It Begin

Mondays always feel like an opportunity to start fresh, but if you read my post from yesterday, you know I think every moment is an opportunity to do so, AND that I am at a point in my life where I am focusing in again on my health and wellness after a rough couple of years.

I also have recognized that I haven’t been writing the way that I need to be. Writing is how I process life, and how I sort through things I am learning. This is understandable as over the last 3+ years I have been only writing papers for seminary that were REQUIRED, and of course sermons to preach that were NECESSARY. But I miss writing for fun and just because I want to write!

So, in addition to getting back on track with my health and fitness, I am going to work on getting back on track with blogging as well. So, let’s kick it off with Music Monday!

This morning, as I was sitting in my contemplative corner listening to some music at the start of my devotion time, anticipating re-starting my soulmate workout that kick-started my weight loss a few years ago, thinking about some things the Lord has stirring in my spirit, and even wondering what I might do for today’s post, this song came on and it felt like a gift just for me this morning. Take a listen. See if maybe it re-lights a fire in you to stop waiting and start taking a chance on something new!

This Could Change Everything
Francesca Battistelli

There’s a fire inside, you can feel it burning
It’s a neon light glowing like a furnace
And the night is long but the world keeps turning
You gotta know it, it’s not the end

Every new sunrise is one step closer
It’s a sign in the sky that the fight’s not over
So face the world, it’s now or never
This is the moment, let it begin

This could change everything
Can you feel it now, something’s in the air?
This could change everything
I know we’re gonna know it when we get there
No more waiting, I’m taking the chance
This could change everything
Let it begin

See the world outside in technicolor
Be the one who paints outside the numbers
Like a child who is lost in wonder
I don’t wanna lose it, I’m breathing it in

This could change everything
Can you feel it now, something’s in the air?
This could change everything
I know we’re gonna know it when we get there
No more waiting, I’m taking the chance
This could change everything
Let it begin

You can feel it coming like a flood
Wash over us, wash over us
Let the future we’ve been dreaming up
Wash over us, wash over us
You can feel it coming like a flood
Wash over us, wash over us
Let the future we’ve been dreaming up
Wash over us, wash over us

This could change everything
Can you feel it now, something’s in the air?
This could change everything
I know we’re gonna know it when we get there
No more waiting, I’m taking the chance
This could change everything
Let it begin
