Define: Meaning

I've been realizing the last few days how much I really miss being close with God.


Through talking with Becca, and that TFK song, I realized how not tight we are.


Again.




I've already typed a book about what happened with Becca, but that TFK song was amazing too. I think that it's probably written about someone's wife or something, but to me it's more about God.

I like the part that says, "This place is many things, but I can't call it home, home is the place you are." I've gotten really wrapped up in drama about me moving out of my house lately, but in reality, it's not that big of a deal (I've noticed that I have been overreacting a lot lately). My real home is not even on earth; it's where God is.

And I like the lines that say, "I've done a few things that I wasn't proud of, I've said a few things that hurt you, but you're still the only one who fills me up, and all the tears that we've shared were worth it."
We've all done things we aren't proud of. And those things have hurt God. We don't always stop to think about that side of our actions. We get pretty wrapped up in their earthly effects. God is the only one who can fix us, though. He is the only one who can totally recharge us.
And it's not like He's sitting up in heaven just watching us mess up down here. He is involved in our lives, He cries when we cry. We do share tears. He doesn't enjoy seeing us in pain, He is in pain right alongside us.


I want God to be my heart, to be the one when it all comes undone, and even when I've got things together (if that ever happens...). I love talking to my friends when things are rough, but they're not the ones who can really fix it. My Father is the only one who can do that, and I want my heart to be just like His; I want Him to be the one in everything that I do.

My Home

This place is many things
But I'd never call it home
It's just a building in a city everywhere I go
This place is many things
But I can't call it home
Home is a place you are and I just wanna let you know
That I've done a few things that I wasn't proud of
I've said a few things that hurt you
But you're still the only who fills me up
And every night spent alone was worth it
You are my home
You are my everything when I feel so alone
You are my home
You are my shelter when all my hope is gone
And I've seen many things
But they don't look like home
They're just the bright lights from a city glowing all night long
I've seen many faces
But they don't look the same
Home is a place you are and I just wanna let you know
That I've done a few things that I wasn't proud of
I've said a few things that hurt you
But you're still the only one who fills me up
And all the tears that we've shared were worth it
You are my home
You are my everything when I feel so alone
You are my home
You are my shelter when all my hope is gone
You are my home
You are my everything when I feel so alone
You are my heart
You are the one when it all comes undone
