Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.

You wanna go where people know,
people are all the same,
You wanna go where everybody knows

Ok so if you watched any tv in the 80's or 90's you are very familiar with this tune. Cheers! Thats right. Well I sent it to a good friend and then I meditated on the words for a bit and felt to write and get something off my chest, out of my head or however you want to classify it.

Sometimes we feel that we are the only ones facing our particular situation...and truth is we are not...Sometimes we feel alone in a crowded room but obvisously we are not...Sometimes we feel used, forgotten, mistreated, overlooked, ignored. But Truth is if we have Christ as the center we will realize that those things doin't line up to his word...He said he would never abandon us. He would never forsake us. We choose to meditate on things, just like me meditating on this songs lyrics. I thought to myself isn't that why we congregate in certain places...some of us go to church- where hopfully everyone knows our name, were we know that we will connect and know that we don't face things alone. Some of us it might be band nights, bars, clubs, music stores, our favorite coffee shop or our favorite venue...what draws us to keep going back is that sense of acceptance. That there is a place where we are known and loved for who we are.

So this is wrote to the one who feels like they are the only one going through something right now...you are not alone.

It is for the one that feels forgotten...He knows your name

For the one that feels the fool or the failure...Get back up, you have more fight left and you never fight alone if you have Christ as the center. He fights for you!

For the one that feels unlovable due to the worlds standards on when and where and how you should live your life...God loves you...He has since the beginning of time...he has the perfect college, career, mate, house, car....and all the other things that we seem to worry about all planned out. He declares that he knows the plans....we just need to go to the one that knew our name since the womb!!!

Acceptance is important to every living being....and all you need to know is that He accepts you just the way you are and there are a whole lot of others "cheering" you on.

If you know Christ, then I am so excited...because we are friends forever!!!
