What might have been lost.

Someday my pain
Will mark you
Harness your blame
And walk through

With the wild wolves around you
In the morning, I'll call you
Send it farther on

Solace my game, 
It stars you
Swing wide your crane,
And run me through

And the story's all over you
In the morning i'll call you
Can't you find a clue when your eyes are all painted Sinatra blue

What might have been lost -
Don't bother me

When my world is shaking

JJ Heller. never met the girl, but I am in love with her lyrics.
Here is just one meagre sample of her wonderful work:
Your Hands-- JJ Heller
I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn't there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That You would take my pain away
That You would take my pain away

I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crookedly lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands

When You walked upon the Earth
You healed the broken, lost, and hurt
I know You hate to see me cry
One day You will set all things right
Yea, one day You will set all things right

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands

Your hands
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave You when...

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave...
I never leave Your hands 



These simple lines touch so deeply. Sometimes I feel all alone with my problems. Its not true. I have somebody who is beside me all the time. He will never leave me stranded out alone in the dark. God has me in his hands. He loves us. I want to encourage you as you read this. That you have worth, you are loved and you are valued. Perhaps you don't feel loved or worthy of life, but you are. The quirks that make you you are unique to you. Everybody has things about themselves that they don't like. Everybody has things in their lives that they wish they wouldn't have to deal with. Its part of being human. If things have become too overwhelming, reach out to somebody around you, gather a support system around you and rely on them. 


There is my random advice. I don't claim to be an expert. I just know the life I live.
