There’s a radio in my head and it’s always switched on. Songs pop in and out of my head at their own leisure. Sometimes it’s easy to pinpoint why (…because I’ve just finished listening to that song ten times in a row) and sometimes they come from nowhere (…hey, I haven’t listened to that song in ages!)
Yesterday, I was worried. Those who know me well will be tempted to inform you that this is nothing new. While I do have a heightened tendency to worry I’ve been doing better at calming myself down and controlling it.
{Matthew 6: 25-34 helps quite a bit. "Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself." I’ll admit to reading this passage most days just to remind myself. It instantly brings me peace.}.

Still, yesterday I couldn't stop worrying.
Around bed time when my mind was exhausted from a long day and the worrying part of my mind was really taking over, “All Will Be Well” popped into my head. I claim divine inspiration. I settled down for my nightly prayers and let this favorite song of mine continue on in the back of my mind.

I listened to the song as I fell asleep and let the lyrics sink in. They mean so much to me, and I added bolded emphasis to some lines that stand out to me. I am thankful that I was able to remember this song last night when I needed it.
All Will Be Well by the Gabe Dixon Band
A new day dawns
And I am practicing my purpose once again
It is fresh and it is fruitful if I win
But if I lose
Oh, I don’t know
I’ll be tired but I will turn and I will go
Only guessing ‘til I get there then I’ll know
Oh, I will know
The winter’s cold
But the snow still lightly settles on the trees
And a mess is still a moment I can seize
Until I know
That all will be well.
Even though sometimes this is hard to tell
And the fight is just as frustrating as hell
All will be well.
You got to keep it up, and don’t give up
Chase your dreams and you will find
All in time
And all the cars running fast along the interstate
Can feel the love that radiates, illuminating what I know is true
All will be well
Even after all the promises you’ve broken to yourself
All will be well
You can ask me how but only time will tell

i like the line "a mess is still a moment I can seize" - often times I think I just need the assurance that regardless the situation, I can make it.
and as far as songs popping into heads, "a part of your world" would not leave me alone yesterday. random...
what a lovely song and even lovlier that it decided to pop into your head.
i have a new song pop into my head every morning but usually it's something lame from yo gabba gabba.
