"Every Heart"
A summer sunburn
The smile you earned
Stumbles and falls
The lessons you’ve learned
Choices you’ve made
Your first heartbreak
Getting too old for the batman cape
Simpler times
Wanting to fly
Mesmerized by Christmas lights
Holding out
Giving in
All the what ifs and might have beens
EVERY HEART has a story to tell
Some dreams have wings, some are torn at the seams
and just sit there on the shelf
If you were to walk in my shoes
You’d see we are all the same
So find the love inside yourself
Cause EVERY HEART has a story to tell
A starburst rush
Your first real crush
Your bit by a dog a yellow school bus
Sweet 16
That concert you missed
Your best friend and your first kiss
Learning to fall
Wanting it all
Believing in Santa Claus
A letter you wrote
A promise you broke
Knowing when to say yes and when to say no
EVERY HEART has a story to tell
Some dreams have wings, some are torn at the seams
and just sit there on the shelf
If you were to walk in my shoes
You’d see we are all the same
So find the love inside yourself
Cause EVERY HEART has a story to tell
So far away
Life can take you
Never forget
The hearts that shaped you
The love of your life
The fourth of July
The times that you laughed so hard you cried
The first day of ballet
Hardships you faced
All the memories along the way
It’s the love you lost
The love you made
Makes us who we are today
EVERY HEART has a story to tell
Some dreams have wings, some are torn at the seams
and just sit there on the shelf
If you were to walk in my shoes
You’d see we are all the same
So find the love inside yourself
Cause EVERY HEART has a story to tell
This is my heart
This is my story to tell

Did you listen to the song? (Reading the lyrics counts too.) Isn't it beautiful? It came up on my Pandora and I tuned in about a fourth of the way through the song. I went and looked up the lyrics, found the song and listened to it about six more times. It really hit home to me.
Anyways, this week has been crazy good! It's also been crazy rough. I've experienced a lot of tender mercies, but I've also experienced some not so good moments. However, I have to say:
I am happy! I am optimistic! I smile a lot! Life is beautiful, wonderful, and so great!
The last couple months have stretched me. I had to learn to exercise faith and COMPLETE trust in the Lord. It was hard. It was worth it. So I say again:
I am happy! I am optimistic! I smile a lot! I love myself!
Yes, I love who I am! I love who I am becoming. I have confidence in myself. Heavenly Father has been refining me in the best way possible. It's not always easy and it's not always fun, but it's worth it. It's a beautiful refining process. It's been great learning new things like Zumba and hula dancing. It's also been great doing things that I love like reading and running. Running. I love running! Happiness!
I love learning about the gospel. This month I have been studying all about light and characteristics of God. My studies this month have greatly impacted my life. My testimony of God's love has been deeply rooted within me. I've been filled with His light.
My heart sure has had it's moments. I think that's why the song (above) really hit home. It's been stretched in a lot of different ways, but it's still going strong! It's getting stronger as I go through experiences.
Life is good, it is oh so good! Happy Saturday! I need to get ready for Nerd Fest! :)
