Life; what an adventure! Right now, and truthfully, for awhile, I have been a place where I need some help.  Anyone who knows me, knows that is NOT easy for me to say.  I am a strong willed individual and doesn't like needing people.

Candidly, though, I need guidance from all of my friends with faith.  How do you do it?  How do you get through life with faith? How do you find comfort and peace with your life when your plans don't match up with the path God has created for you?

I am trying to find a way to accept that I am right where God needs me to be.  I need to take time to soak it in and remember that I will never be here, in this moment, again.  However,  I constantly find myself comparing 'my plans' to where I am at now and feeling inadequate or as if I am failing.  

While listening to music the other day, I stumbled upon a song by Ty England that Matt shared with me in college; it seems perfect for right now.  Any other advice from anyone out there is greatly appreciated!

Thanks Friends!

Video and Lyrics for Backslider's Prayer  

He said "I know this ain't the time or place
Bur Lord I need to talk"
In a business suit in a corner booth
In a crowded little restaurant
We all tried not to listen
We all tried not to look
But a whole room full of customers
And the waitress and the cook
All stopped what we were doin'
When he bowed his head
In that silence we heard every word he said

"I been tryin' to do things my way
Down here on life's highway
Slippin' slidin' sideways
'Tween no way and nowhere
If I could only gain a foothold
Up there on your high road
Lord if you hear me help me
I'll do anything you tell me to
All I've got to offer you is this
Backslider's prayer

Well the waitress made the first move
When she filled his coffee cup
She said "You ain't alone here mister
You're speakin' for the rest of us"
I heard some scattered "amens"
And a couple of "I've been there's"
Then things got back to normal
The dishes and the silverwate
Were clangin' in the kitchen
Like an angel's band
As I took my place in line
To shake his hand ('cause)

"I been tryin' to do things my way
Down here on life's highway
Slippin' slidin' sideways
'Tween no way and nowhere
If I could only gain a foothold
Up there on your high road
Lord if you hear me help me
I'll do anything you tell me to
All I've got to offer you is this
Backslider's prayer

If I could only gain a foothold
Up there on your high road
Lord if you hear me help me
I'll do anything you tell me to
All I've got to offer you is this
Backslider's prayer
