On a restless Sunday evening, I found myself burdened with the weight of life's pains and struggles, struggles not easily explained. Turning to my Rolodex of comfort I call ITunes, I found a song by duo Jenny and Tyler, and the comfort I found in its truth, soothed my aching heart, and the release of tears solidified my need for such a comfort as that, something I believe that could only have been orchestrated by God. I want to leave you with a sampling of the song, as I know we all have those unavoidable and equally unexplainable days of hurt and frustration.
You Think by Jenny and Tyler
"You know me so well,
each and every part,
so much better than i know myself,
every layer of my heart,
but it's different with the world,
I won't let anybody know,
can't let them know about my sin,
'cause what will they think of me,
when they finally see
this little girl they know
doesn't let her bruises show,
what will they think of me...
The pastor speaks,
and i hang my head,
so i hope that will look at him instead
that man who left his wife and kids
so many years ago
no longer putting on a show
let the congregation know,
what will they think of me
when they finally see
this little girl they know
doesn't let her bruises show
Who am I to think that I'm more righteous than the rest?
That I might stand a little straighter
when you brought me to the test
I'm lying when i tell myself
that i have to be my best
that that is what they expect
What will they think of me
when they finally see
this little girl they know
doesn't let her bruises show
It's not what they think,
it's how you think of me."
