When I Get Where I'm Going

"Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

...But when I get where I'm going
And I see my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
Hallelujah
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
Yeah when I get where I'm going"

I just wanted to share some words that I have been listening to these past few hours. Despite feeling terrible the last 2 days, and despite seeing a part of my world crumble a bit, I must keep walking through these days even though it feels like the world is raining down upon my head. There are always a million things I could say or do to change how my days go but this crazy bit of my mind says that everything happens for a reason. I am holding on to that notion for fear of thinking it was my fault. I followed my heart and though it feels like a dead end right now, I must keep on keepin' on.

I've got the entire world ahead of me and to have stumbled now only makes me stronger. Of course having been dealt such a blow hurts, but I will continue to be a shoulder to cry on when the weight of the world gets simply much to heavy for you to hold. I know that I don't have all of the answers and I know that rough seas are ahead but you must build your vessel strong and thorough to make it to calm waters. So my advice to whoever has a heavy heart these days: take pride in what you consider your foundation, seek the pleasures of your heart, surround yourself in the fruit of your labors, adventure is the joy of finding the right answers, life is all about taking risk for the better. Here I am, 20 years young, I can't imagine how much more in life there is for me. It's very possible that in the next 10 years I will be reading this surrounded by wife, kids and a loving family that I know was worth all of the heartache I experienced on my adventure that I call life. Yeah, it feels good knowing that I get a smile on my face each time I think about when I get where I'm going...
