Time of My Life!

I’m having another one of those moments again. Those kinds of moments that just tend to take my breath away and make my heart melt with bittersweet feelings. So Wednesday night was an awesome American Idol finale. My favorite throughout the whole season seven won. Congrats to David Cook! I’m so excited for the future he will bring to music. Like I have said in many previous blogs I really cannot wait to hear what god has in store for his music. The true rocker has prevailed; the most deserving David beat the media giant. Watching and listening to that last song even made me cry. Yesterday I was in this amazing fog of life. I have never felt more alive and listening to Time of my Life I realize that this is my time to taste every moment I have. Last night I went to the park, the beauty before me and I drank it in like an elixir of life. I listened to music and pondered what life might have in store for me. I love going to the park to swing it gives me clarity and I have the grace of god so close to me. Listening to how close the music is to my heart it just fills me with so much. It is like the new David Cook song. I feel so inspired by David Cook’s ‘Cinderella story’ and want to do everything I can with my life.

I’ve been waiting for my dreams

To turn into something
I could believe in

And looking for that

Magic rainbow

On the horizon

I couldn’t see it

Until I let go

Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn

Now I’m coming alive

Body and soul

And feelin’ my world start to turn
And I’ll taste every moment

And live it out loud

I know this is the time,This is the time

To be more than a name

Or a face in the crowdI

know this is the time

This is the time of my life

Time of my life
Holding onto things that vanished

Into the air

Left me in pieces

But now I’m rising from the ashes

Finding my wings

And all that I needed

Was there all along

Within my reach

As close as the beat of my heart
So I’ll taste every moment

And live it out loud

I know this is the time,This is the time to be

More than a name

Or a face in the crowd

I know this is the time

This is the time of my life

Time of my life
And I’m out on the edge of forever

Ready to run

I’m keeping my feet on the ground

My arms open wide

My face to the sun
I’ll taste every moment

And live it out loud

I know this is the time,

This is the time to be

More than a name

Or a face in the crowd

I know this is the time

This is the time of my life

Time of my life

More than a name

Or a face in the crowd

This is the time

This is the time of my life.

This is the time of my life


One other thing that is on my mind involves innocence and growing up whether we want to or not. I saw the Chronicles of Narnia last week and was reminded of that idea of growing up of a loss of something precious, childhood. Susan and Peter are gone from Narnia, they don’t need it anymore. They have grown from the magical worlds of their younger years. I feel like that too, like my magical worlds are being slowly going away with every month of college behind me and every bill that piles up. However I am reminded also by the amazing Switchfoot song on the soundtrack that ‘This is Home’. It is a beautiful song stating that no matter where you go you can belong and that you are never far away from the love and support you need. So… I will leave this message still not having found what I’ve been looking for, but with a little more insight.
Once again CONGRATS DAVID COOK!
