You are strong enough to take my dreams. Come and give them wings. Lord with You, there's nothing I cannot do (from Set the World on Fire).
A year or so later, Miss Nicole released an amazingly heartfelt and deeply personal song on her followup album:
Even if my dreams have died, and even if I don't survive, I'll still worship You with all my life (from Have Your Way).
I've been a fan of this singer for quite some time, yet the correlation between these two songs never hit me until the past several months (I was actually walking along the beach with my iPod!). Obviously, it seems as if something major has happened - or perhaps not happened - from the exciting and hopeful declaration of the first song and the broken yet peaceful resolve of the second.
Probably just like me, you can truly relate to this sequence, to these emotions, to this struggle. I share this song with you for your encouragement. It is a fantastic reminder of the response God desires of me always, whether in times of great "success" or in the loneliness of the "valley."
Soon enough, I'll join you again to share with you my own "even if" story...I'll be looking forward to it.
