My ipod jack has died.

So now I depend on scratched CD's and terrible radio to provide noise for my car. I heard the song titled "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri, and even though I know it's supposed to be for a boy from a girl, in a moment of simplicity and half sanity, the lyrics to this pop song became a whisper of God's promise to me. God had things to say to me, and he used a pop song...this is new. 

(This is me:)
Heartbeats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer

(And Christ responds:)
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer

And all along I believed that I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
