What do you need to know?
I'm not holding on to anything
I'm not willing to let go of
To be free, to be free
I've got to ask you something
Please don't be afraid
There's a promise here
That's heavier than your answer might weigh
Baby, it's me, it's me
It's a sweet, sweet thingStanding here with you and nothing to hide
Light shining down to our very insides
Sharing out secrets, baring our souls
Helping each other come clean
Secrets and ciphers
There's no good way to hideThere's redemption in confession
And freedom in the light
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
It's a sweet, sweet thing
Standing here with you and nothing to hide
Light shining down to our very insides
Sharing out secrets, baring our souls
Helping each other come clean
Better than our promises
Is the day we got to keep them
Wish those two could see us now
They never would believe howThere are different kinds of happy
Different kinds of happy
There are different kinds of happy
Different kinds of happy
And it's a sweet, sweet thing
Standing here with you and nothing to hide
Light shining down to our very insides
Loving each other
It's a sweet, sweet thing
Standing here with you and nothing to hide
Light shining down to our very insides
Loving each other, knowing each other
Helping each other
Oh, sharing our secrets, baring our souls
Helping each other come clean
Different Kinds of Happy by Sara Groves
OK, yes. This song is about marriage, but I haven't heard a song that speaks to my heart more in a really long time. Freedom in the light has been such a theme in my life. I've been thinking a lot about exposure this week. I desperately miss being in a community that valued exposure. Honestly, I just miss living in COMMUNITY. The past few days, I've been feeling really nostalgic, and I don't think it's a good thing. One year ago, I had just come home from my last fall camp as a high school student, just ended a week of 24/7 prayer, and was 2 weeks away from being finished with my last musical of high school. WOW. That is a really overwhelming thought for me. I long to be back there. Everything was so seamless for me then. It was a mountain top. The people that I was sharing life with loved and lived loudly and it was lovely. Different season, Different Kinds of Happy. In all reality, I wouldn't give up where I am now for the world. I really do love a lot of things that I have going for me right now. I am learning that this valley is a beautiful place to be. The valley is where I am made more like Christ. It is here that I am being refined. And I am learning to be transparent and exposed all over again. God sees me learning to be transparent and says, "Beloved, that is PURE GOLD. I value that." He has always been faithful. He has always provided. That is not just what God does, thats who he is. I am choosing JOY. I am choosing to live in the fact that God does not forget, God will provide me with community wherever I am, and that I am being made more like Christ in this season.
