So I got an answer to my prayers about the girl I'd been worried about before. Unfortunately, it wasn't the answer I more or less wanted. This does mean that it's being taken care of ... I trust ... and that I can't really do anything to help. I hate that. And what worries me the most is not that I can't do anything to help, but that I might not be ready to do anything to help.
I just feel like I could really do something to help, and then I realize that first I'd have to be able to talk to her, and she hasn't really talked to me beyond, "Hey Dave, how're you doing?" "Blessed, absolutely blessed. How's everything going with you?" "Well, fine, I guess ..." and then she got whisked away by someone else and then I never got a chance to really talk to her the rest of the evening as first she was talking with one of the younger kids, and then there were more than 30 people over at Van and Cindy's and I wasn't able to even start a conversation with her as I was too busy working with the main group.
I was going to post this song on Friday after I got back from the group thing, but I wrote and posted that poem/song on faith instead. But I think that this covers it almost as well ... it's almost a description instead of an answer.
I watch you smile, you steal the show
You take a bow, the curtain falls in front of you
You're magical, on display
I gaze into your eyes and you turn to look the other way
But I'd really love to know, I'd really love to climb
My way into your heart, and see what I could find
I'd walk into your skin, swim through your veins
See it from your eyes, I'd really love to try
You're standing still, but in my mind, trying to escape
Looking for a place to hide
Well it's not safe but I'm so near
Invading every place you go to disappear
I'd really love to know, I'd really love to climb
My way into your heart, and see what I could find
I'd walk into your skin, swim through your veins
See it from your eyes, I'd really love to try
I'd really love to know, I really want to climb
Into your soul
Walk into your skin, swim through your veins
See it from your eyes
I'd really love to try
I'd really love to try
But I'd really love to know, I'd really love to climb
My way into your heart, and see what I could find
I'd walk into your skin, swim through your veins
See it from your eyes, I'd really love to try
But I'd really love to know, I'd really love to climb
My way into your heart, and see what I could find
I'd walk into your skin, swim through your veins
See it from your eyes, I'd really love to try
Yeah, I wanna get inside the you you're hiding from
Yeah, I wanna get inside the you you're hiding from
I wanna get inside the you that you are hiding from
Kiddo, if you're reading this ... I really would love to know, to climb into your soul, walk into your skin, swim through your veins ... I want to help you. But I'm trusting that you're working it out with others. If you're not ... even if you can't talk to me, please talk it through with someone else. You're not alone in what you're going through.
And I have no idea whether she'll read this, but ... I think I needed to say that. Even if she never hears it.
