Winter Song.

My love a beacon in the night.

My words will be your light
To carry you to me.

Is love alive?
Is love alive?

Winter Song-Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson 

i cant tell you how much i like this song. its beautiful. melodically-simple, innocent, bare. but the lyrics are incredible. whether this was their original intent for the song or not, from the moment i heard it, i heard Jesus talking. the lyrics are His words, speaking to me. what a great thing,  that because our Creator is the Creator of all things, He can teach through any possible medium. you know what else is awesome about Him? He IS yesterday, today, and forever. i saw the movie "Up" tonight. go see it, i think it's more of an adult film than a childrens film. but at any rate, Jesus used yet another aspect of Pop culture to teach me something-a big something. the main character in the movie is an old man named Mr. Fredrickson. he lived his entire life knowing the love of his life, and falling more in love with her every day. the kind of love that only fools can dream about. a Noah and Allie. but Ellie, his wife, passes away before him, and he looses his sense of life. i sat in the mushy seats, slightly cold from the airconditioned air, continually pushing up my 3-D glasses, and thought to myself "I want a love like that. but what if i'm not Ellie, what if i'm Mr. Fredrickson? what kind of despair would i endure? what happens to my heart?" and Jesus said immediately- in the most gentle, kind, and patient voice, 

"You have Me, Anna. You have Me."
