I am in the middle of a rigorous program right now, I have some big changes coming up, and I have some tough conversations panned for this week. I spent much of the late evening with my stomach in knots, trying to figure out how I was going to survive it all. I read, I wrote, I prayed, I drank a ton of water, and I talk to a friend who was having a rough day. Then this song popped into my head.
I heard it at a BYU Songwriter's Showcase once, and I loved it so I memorized it. I didn't write it, no idea who did write it, but it seemed very applicable to calming my fears. The fear isn't totally gone, but the song did help, a lot. No matter what happens, I am going to be fine. I can handle hurt and pain and stress. It's just going to pass through, and we'l move on to other things.
"The Journey In Between" (I think that's the title, anyway)
Standing at the edge, just trying to decide if you're
about to find, among the brush, a piece of the puzzle
you think you've been missing. You're just not listening! Stop this struggle.
Count to ten, take a deep breath, look left then right again
head held high, eyes wide--just begin now.
Take a leap of faith. You'll never learn how unless you just stop looking back!
Good things come to those who act--cross the bridge between the future and the past
you'll learn things you never ever knew.
Before you know it, you'll be on the other side, so stop along the way
just to say
from point A to point B, enjoy the journey in between.
I often say to myself-- "Will this get easy?"
Well, life's not meant to be a book left on the shelf.
We're meant to live until it hurts.
We were born to feel! And time will heal--
it's time you learned. We bleed, we cry, we fear--deep sigh.
Hold on, be strong, you're alive!
Take a leap of faith. You'll never learn how unless you just stop looking back!

I know you're scared to try-- I feel the pain you feel inside.
I feel you going out your mind; just cross the bridge to the other side!
But, take your time.
