this song was the song that went along with the talk i gave at a youth retreat sponsored my by church that i attended for 5 years as a camper one year and counselor/young adult for four.
every time i hear this song i remember that talk, and how it felt to finally let the past out in the open. i had kept my struggles of my teen years and freshman year of college a deep dark secret for so long and would brush off excuses every time someone asked why i was home.
every day can be the first day of your life;
especially when you know there is a greater plan watching over you
and have faith in the way you're living it.
it gives me chills, if not tears as well, every time i hear it. it also reminds me that even though i have not been living a life of utmost purity since those years of unruliness, i am on a pretty damn good track, and i have a good perspective in my head of where i am going, despite my past decisions and actions.
