with you

The real me is a Southern girl
With her Levi's on and an open heart
Wish I could save the world
Like I was Supergirl
The real me used to laugh all night
Lying in the grass, just talking 'bout love
But lately I've been jaded
Life got so complicated

I start thinking about it
Almost forgot what it was like
To know when it feels right

But with you I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby, as I do now
Now that I'm with you

With you
With you
With you
Now that I'm with you

You speak and it's like a song
And just like that, all my walls come down
It's like a private joke
Just meant for us to know
I relate to you naturally
Everybody else just fades away
Sometimes it's hard to breathe
Just knowing you found me
'Cause I start thinking about it
I almost forgot what it was like
To know when love feels right

Come and take me
Love you, save me
Like nobody else
Now I can be myself with you

Ever felt like you can't quite be yourself with another person? It can be anyone, a project mate, a close friend, even your family members. Everyone has an expectation about you, what you're going to do, who you're going to be. Everyone views you a certain way. And there is always that pressure to perform.

Listening to this song by Jessica Simpson, I can't help but be reminded that God is the only one that I can be true with. The only one I can be vulnerable with. He's the only one I can free fall with.

No matter how long anyone has known me for or see me to be, they're all wrong. I'm not a just a bubbly and fun-loving girl. I'm not the ice-princess who you can't approach. I'm not a really smart girl who can always get good grades. I'm not super confident or a go-getter.

At this point of my life, I don't know who I am. All I know is that I can be whoever in front of God. That He is the only One who can and will love me unconditionally.

As I was walking from the library back to my room today, I asked God why I was given the chance to come for this exchange program. His answer: to learn more about yourself. Each and everyday, I see a darker side of myself. I see how much I have fallen short of His perfect plan. I see how I fail when I'm alone. I'm learning that He is my saving grace.

And that is the only hope I have to bring me through it all.

+ AMEN
