"Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:12-13We may not like the things happening around us, and we ourselves at any given time may be a part of, have contributed to, or been affected by those things, but it is the relationship with Jesus, God that will refresh and restore us to what He intended us to be... our willingness, in His Perfect Timming and for the plans He has for us. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11 This song formed the basis of this writting, although I needed to understand why there were certain elements contained in the video that presented questions for me. Please watch and share your views, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqLkRdTKCL4 . The Lyrics: Why would I chase your shadow all my lifeAnd be afraid of my own?I'd rather be with youI'd rather not know Where I'll be than Be alone and convinced that I knowWhen the world keeps spinning roundMy world's upside downYou and I wouldn't change a thingI've got nothing else to loseI lost it all when I found you And I wouldn't change a thingNo, you and I wouldn't change a thingEverything I know has let me downSo I will just let goLet you turn me inside outCause I know I'm not sureabout anythingBut you wouldn't have it any other wayWhen the world keeps spinning roundMy world's upside downYou and I wouldn't change a thingI've got nothing else to loseI lost it all when I found youAnd I wouldn't change a thingNo, you and I wouldn't change a thingSpinning turning watching burningAll my life has found its meaningWalking crawling climbing fallingAll my life has found its meaningYou and I wouldn't change a thingNo, you and I wouldn't change a thingWhen the world keeps spinning roundMy world's upside downYou and I wouldn't change a thingI've got nothing else to loseI lost it all when I found youAnd I wouldn't change a thingNo, you and I wouldn't change a thingNo, you and I wouldn't change a thing Once I found you, life has meaning.God bless you!

In the beginning I thought from the video it was a pro-life message. IN a way, it is, just not in the traditional political view we are so used to. No, it\'s a pro-life message for all of us perhaps. That in spite of everything, however life gets hard or ugly against the back drop of what is beautiful, we are to keep on living...as you suggest in your above entry, for God knows the plans for us all.
I loved that, Joe. It was just what I needed to hear right now.
This is great nourishment for the spirit and heart, bro. I am still contemplating the meaning within the words of the song. I am refreshed by your sharing of God\'s Word and your personal perspective and relevance to the truth God\'s laid before our hearts and eyes to treasure. Thanks for being a treasure of a friend and brother in Christ, Joe. God bless you, bro. ~Jenn
