Free To Be Me

It's the 10th song on my playslist and I.love.this.song. The artist is Francesca Battistelli. Her beautiful name matches the song. (Mom tell Dad to search this song at playlist.com. It's the one Es and I were singing when we were painting your bd.rm.)

-

At twenty years of age I'm still looking for a dream

A war's already waged for my destiny

But You've already won the battle

And You've got great plans for me

Though I can’t always see

-

(Chorus)‘Cause I got a couple dents in my fender

Got a couple rips in my jeans

Try to fit the pieces together

But perfection is my enemy

On my own I'm so clumsy

But on Your shoulders I can see

I'm free to be me

-

When I was just a girl I thought I had it figured out

My life would turn out right, and I'd make it here somehow

But things don't always come that easy

And sometimes I would doubt

-

(Chorus)

-

And you’re free to be you

Sometimes I believe that I can do anything

Yet other times I think I've got nothing good to bring

But You look at my heart and You tell me

That I've got all You seek

And it’s easy to believe

Even though

-

(Chorus)

-

Aren't we, as people, a little scarred and bumped? We're all just trying to do our best and figure this precious gift called LIFE out.

Along those lines.....I'm going back to school. Yeah. College. I'm 1 hr. away from taking my initial exam and my heart is pounding. I'm going to earn my ASA (Associates of Arts) to enable me to be a elementary teacher's aid. AND I can apply the time/work that goes into the AS degree to a BA then a MA in Teaching if that's were I'm supposed to go. We'll see. I'm just nibbling on this HUGE bite of AS so we'll see what happens. I honestly don't want to think about more school at this moment. a AS degree is just fine with me!

-

Oh, and Ben's going back too. He'll be earning a BA in Business. I'm SUPER proud of him. So when we can't do a certain activity because we've got to study.....it's not just the kid's!

One.Two.Three.Here.We.Go........Cowabunga!
