:: *Sniffles* ::
It's Monday again...NOOOOOOOO!!! I don't like Mondays. And I have homework. I feel like crying.
You know, my parents don't quite catch on to the whole BarlowGirl thing. I played one song for my mom about this girl that runs away and about the people she leaves behind. And it's really sad. But after it's finished my mom gives me this whole lecture about how running away doesn't solve problems, it just creates new ones. I mean, I got that from the song. I totally understood it. All I wanted was for her to give a nod and a "Oh, that is sad." It kind've ruined the moment.
And then I tell my dad about some of their songs (namely, Surrender and Superstar) and how the lead singer, Alyssa, inspired these in a way. When she was really little, she dreamed of hitting Broadway and stuff. She was going to hit it big time. That was her dream. And then she started to feel like God was telling her, "No Broadway for you. I have better plans." And the way she put it, "I pretty much pitched a fit!" So she was rebelling and all when she falls down these stairs and one thing led to another. She ended up getting diagnosed with this muscular disease (don't remember what it was called). But they basically said, "You'll never walk normally again. If she couldn't walk normally, how could she dance?
She and her sisters end up forming a band called BarlowGirl. And from what I read, Alyssa totally healed. Like, completely. The disease thing was GONE. But by this time she had surrendered her dreams to God and decided, hey if you want me in a band, I'll be in a band. And I think BarlowGirl is way better than Broadway. I never would've heard of her if she'd been on Broadway.
Anyway, then my dad gives me this little speach about not giving up my dreams. He pretty much said, "Just because you think God is telling you that He has more in store for you doesn't mean He really is telling you that. So keep dreaming and keep reaching for what you want." But part of my dream is that God would use me. That I'd fulfill His purpose here on Earth (getting the Word out, in case you didn't know.) My dream as of now is to be a writer. But to be a writer and not to have some of my beliefs shining through my thick and complicated plots would be a total waste. So unsatisfactory. So if I felt God wanted me to give up my dreams and let Him work in my life, I'd have a new dream. His dream. I wouldn't give up mine, just change it a bit.
Get it, Daddy?
