I'm sure it's you (the wedding song). . .

It's just the little things that tell you
That you are right where you should be
And whether we're in love our out of it
There's something deep inside my heart that tells me

Do you take notice of the little things that cross your path on a daily basis?  I never really took notice at the best of times, but I sure took notice at the worst of times.  I would spend time trying to make sense of things and most importantly, my emotions.  When a woman is strong and knows herself, she doesn't have room or space to allow someone to try and venture in your feelings, let alone your DMs.  We learn to figure out what acceptance really means.  Whether we choose to accept being alone or being ready for a relationship.  Do you think you would know when you are ready for anything that takes you by surprise?

I'm sure it's you, I'm sure it's you
None could ever change my mind
Or convince me otherwise
My heart belongs to you
I'll know we'll make it through
I'm sure it's you

How do you even know for sure though?  How in tune with your heart are you, really?  We can often rely on others to bounce back our emotions when we are checking for how accurate our arrows are when Cupid decides to smile in our direction.  Have you met someone who has managed to change your mind?  What kind of life did you envisage for yourself?  Did you have plans that you have now completely abandoned?  Not because of COVID-19, I'm just talking generally in broad terms, where you are able to attribute a change in yourself because someone new has decided to show up and make you take notice.

If we could do everything over
I wouldn't try to change a thing
Cos every inch has made us stronger
I'm glad we took the time to wait for God's sign

Are you built to deal with intensity?  I'm not sure if I can handle more intensity after the past couple of years that I've had.  I just think it would be nice to have a quiet, unassuming kind of life, at least for the rest of the year.  Are there things that you wouldn't change?  I don't know that I would necessarily change anything either.  I've been taking on board new experiences in unfamiliar territory and it's definitely taking me out of my comfort zone in more ways than one.  Are you able to say that you are categorically stronger for having taken chances, taken risks, take a long look at yourself in the mirror and winked at yourself before you stepped out the door?  There are more trials to come, but if someone is prepared to be there for you and remind you of God's signs along the way, what can you possibly do?



I'm sure it's you, I'm sure it's you
None could ever change my mind
Or convince me otherwise
My heart belongs to you
I'll know we'll make it through
I'm sure it's you

Are you a hard person to convince?  I guess it depends on what you're being asked to consider, right?  How do you know where your heart belongs?  I sometimes wonder where my heart is most of the time.  I misplace it so often like I lose my work keys, or house keys.  Reliable objects that open places that are meant to be familiar and provide some sort of sanctuary, depending of course on how these places make you feel.  You only allow yourself to be convinced because you are prepared to listen.  Do you accept what you hear?  Why should your heart belong to anyone other than yourself?  Sometimes when you freely give your heart away, it just makes it that much easier to break.  Is it any wonder you are cautious with it.  I would be. You've only got one.  Unless you need to get a transplant maybe?

Today I'm standing here without any fear
You see every moment lead me right to you
But when the cares of life make it hard to believe
I'll remember you were meant for me the one to set me free

When I think back in my life about places I have arrived, and who I have had standing there looking into my eyes, I have noticed those moments that have to lead me there.  They never really make sense in isolation, because all moments are connected.  All moments take you to somewhere that is predestined for you to discover, whether you like it or not.  When those moments are divided into negative or positive feelings, you need to steel yourself to be able to respond accordingly.  You might let everyday distractions take you away from recognising these unseemingly, but obviously interconnected moments.  It becomes magic doesn't it when you can both see those moments together.  Because you thought only you noticed those things, you didn't realise that someone else was watching just as closely hoping you would see the connection.

I'm sure it's you, I'm sure it's you
None could ever change my mind
Or convince me otherwise
My heart belongs to you
I'll know we'll make it through
I'm sure it's you

What do you need to make it through?  We never really know the troubles that other people are facing.  We can sense that something is wrong but you might not have the nerve to gather up the courage to ask.  But sometimes, when you do have the courage to ask, you are faced with something completely left field and then you don't know how to deal with it.  It's not necessarily a bad thing - it's just not what you expected.  It's different.  It's something surprising.  Then you have to figure out how you are going to cope with any potential changes. But I guess, it's time to start thinking about living life for a change, rather than existing through it,  Learn how to feel again, especially with your heart.

Oh baby 
I know in my heart it's you
That's why I'm gonna say I do
I'm sure it's you

I hope that you give yourself a second chance.  Just a chance.  Any chance.  There are too many missed opportunities, particularly in matters of the heart.  Whatever your cynics, that come in the form of well-intentioned friends, they are not responsible for living your life.  There are expectations (extremely high ones I might add) that you may have to contend with, but I'm sure that you are able to see those through and prepare yourself.  Rely on God's signs that are sure to be revealed to you in good time.  Keep relying on the unseen.  Smile wryly and sheepishly at the silly moments.  There may not be many things in your life that you may be sure of, but I know that when it comes to how my heart can feel again, I'm sure it's you. . . .

God provides. . .

There's no more need to fight. . .  God provides, so why do I worry about my life When you come to my rescue a thousand times Every other voice it is a lie God provides It is easy to worry about your life.  It's what humans are built to do. We worry about so many things.  What people think of us.  How we act towards said people.  We worry about things that we cannot control, things we cannot hold.  We spend far too much time worrying about things that we shouldn't be worrying about.  When we think that nothing can come from anything, that's when God provides, above all else.  How many times have you been rescued?  Did you ask to be rescued?  Did you ask to be placed in those situations that required God to step in and save you?  Maybe yes.  Maybe no.  But one thing that I've come to know is that God has never lead me to a place that I couldn't get through, that I couldn't understand why I was lead there, that I di...

You look so much better when you. . .  I dedicate this song to recession Depression and unemployment This song's for you When you think about songs that have dedications at the beginning during the introduction, how does it contribute to the song?  I often think about how those dedications speak to my own situation.  We may all be going through some trials at the moment and nobody around us is none the wiser.  I've often spoken about it to friends when we do that usual - how are you?  The expected answer is - I'm good. But really we're not.  Why do we do that to ourselves?  We don't want to burden others with our problems or issues. Sometimes the flip side might be true and you have friends who dump their problems and issues onto you, but don't reciprocate.  I hope people get to know you and what you're about.  They need to see that they might be potentially ruining the friendship or connection by doing that. Today's a new day but th...

Closer. . .

I was cruising down the street with my head in the sky Going nowhere fast trying to stay high oh, oh Windows down my arms are waving Oh Lord I can't feel ma face no no, no no, aye, Sister please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free Brother please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free The original version of this song is upbeat. I prefer this acoustic version as it resonates more with me, something about it going deep down in my soul (or it could just be the piano accompaniment). We might think we are heading nowhere fast because we keep comparing ourselves to our peers, our contemporaries and the timeline that we set for ourselves to complete all of our dreams and goals. We forget that life happens and things outside of our control, start to take control - and this is where the real work begins within ourselves - whether we have the right support systems of brothers and sisters to sing us songs of freedom - what can we collectively do toge...
