Here's Looking At You, Kid

I felt in the mood to post some lyrics to a song by Corey Crowder. It's called "Here's Looking At You, Kid." If you haven't heard of Corey Crowder you should search for him on iTunes or YouTube. He's great!

I’ll keep on driving so we can talk a while
I know I could drive all night just to stay here with you
At the end of the night we’ll embrace and stare at the star filled night
Would it be alright if we didn’t say goodbye this time?

Ill wait and wonder when our next time will be
Ill see you next week, hopefullyI wish it were sooner
At the end of my trip we’ll embrace and stare at the star filled night
Would it be alright if we didn’t say goodbye this time?

Every time we’re away I feel a distance I can’t take
Watching you drive away, oh it kills me

I’ll be alright
Have no worries
I’m just a bit over anxious
And maybe a little impatient
At the end of the night next time after we look at the star filled night
Can we escape to a far away land where we will forever remain
Living as one and walking hand in hand

Leaves will change, but my heart remains the same...

With the outcome of the election, interesting conversation has sparked in our office. Some ladies were talking about this being a strong sign of the endtimes. When people talk about Jesus coming back soon, it always makes me think about the things that I want to do before I spend eternity in Heaven. I know that it is going to be great, but I guess my human instinct makes me want to finish and tie up loose ends before I leave this world. The main thing that consumes my thoughts is wanting to find Mr. Right, get married and have children.

Is it wrong for me to want to experience these things?

Part of me feels like a bad Christian for wanting these experiences.

I don't think God would place a strong desire in my heart just to keep it from me. I need to step back and remember that God is in control. He knows what is best for me. He has someone chosen for me already and I need to trust that He will bring this guy to me when He feels it is the right time...not when I do.
