HUSTLIN'

So I've been working tirelessly on getting these songs I'm trying to get finished. I feel like the creativity in me is flowing non-stop. I'm grateful and super tired. It's funny though, I actually have thought about this...I couldn't even write until I let go of my issues...specifically my father. Since I let go of all of that garbage I've been a song writing maniac. I'm not the best writer in the world just like I'm not the best singer, but I know I have a special talent that seems to attract people to who God made me to be. What's also funny to me is that my husband can't believe what I've been able to do...just yesterday he said, "I can't believe you wrote this stuff, I love your lyrics..." From a guy who listens to anything from Wu Tang to Jay-Z to Soldier Boy to Naz, I can't be mad at that!

I'm excited about the task God has placed in front of me and hope I rise to the occasion, but I'm sure as I continue down this road to victory I will undoubtedly have lows as good as my current high...

Matthew 6:33

Substance of things hoped for, evidence of things not seen...

Believe

Is that really all there is,
Nothing is that easy,
No physical labor, no work involved?
That’s hard for me to see…

Because my people have been through a lot
We’ve learned you work hard for what you’ve got.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress,
But this progress You alone have blessed.

Seriously, Lord, I don’t understand,
I’m confused about your plan,
I want to put my life in your hand,
But tell me how can I stand?
I feel like I’m planted on sand,
So I shrink because I think that’s all that I am.

I ask you what do I do
And I always get the same answer from You.
I ask how do I do it,
You say, your faith has already gotten you through it.

But why do I feel the same.
“Your faith is so little, I’m ashamed to say.
Just continue to pray.
Believe in what I say.
I won’t change or go away.
And I AM the only way.

Your peace is important to me
I will set you free,
All you have to do is believe.”

So many painful thoughts travel through my mind

and I wonder how I will make it through this time

But I trust you, Lord it’s not easy Sometimes the pain in my life,

makes you seem far away

But I’ll trust you, I need to know you’re here

Through the tears and the pain

Through the heartache and rain

I’ll trust you

Everything that I see tells me not to believe

But I’ll trust you Lord you have never failed me

My past still controls me will this hurt ever leave?

I can only trust you, no one loves like you do

God will make a way

God will make a way

God will make a way

God will make a way
