For me, future me, and my mama.

The Elevator Speech.

How was New York?  How was camp?  How is home?  Where is home?  So you’re dancing up there?  What are you doing up there?  Why are you there?  What are you going to do when you go back up there?  What did you major in?  What are you going to do with that?  Don’t you want to do broadcasting or journalism?  Do you think you are going to stay for a while?  When are you going to move back?  What do you want to do with your life?

I don’t know.  I don’t know.  I don’t know.  

As  result, hopping on and off planes and in and out of bygone worlds, I’ve given up on concise explanations.  Now I’m not frustrated that you asked (though generic questions usually prompt generic answers, just saying), but the fact is that there are a lot more questions marks than periods in my life and the process of me going through it all is indeed, quite the process.  I will, however, offer the following song as nails it right on the head.  It speaks of and summarizes all of my feelings of this past season.  It’s actually rather weird how accurate it is and personal it seems.

With that, here is Gungor’s “Please Be My Strength”  [click title for link to song], my elevator sing-songy speech for the year.

I’ve tried to stand my ground
I’ve tried to understand
But I can’t seem to find my faith again
 
Like water on the sand
Or grasping at the wind
I keep on falling short
 
So please be my strength
Please be my strength
‘Cause I don’t have any more
I don’t have anymore
 
I’m looking for a place
Where I can plant my faith
One thing I know for sure
 
That I cannot create it
And I cannot sustain it
It’s Your love that’s keeping me
 
Please be my strength
Please be my strength
I don’t have anymore
I don’t have anymore
 
And at my final breath
I hope that I can say
I fought the good fight of faith
 
I pray your glory shines
In this doubting heart of mine
And all would know that You
 
You are my strength
You are my strength
You and You alone
You keep bringing me back home
 
Oh, You are my strength
You are my strength
You and You alone
Keep bringing me back home
 
It’s You and You alone
Bringing me back home
 
—–

You ask me what I am doing?

Do life with me and you will see who I am becoming.
