PPM – Barely Hanging On
This week’s post is written by a guy who is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers. Kelly Clarkson has provided the intro:
Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong.
Your arms around me tight
Everything it felt so right
Unbreakable like nothing could go wrong
Now I can’t breath no I can’t sleep
I’m barely hanging on…
It is written for those who are doing all they can just to hold on. It also for those who have already let go.

Because we’re going through our lives, and we’re trying as hard as we can, and things just seem to always blow up in our faces, and we keep going, ‘God, God, why?’ We don’t know what he’s doing. So just let him do it. If you really believe he’s good, then let him do it. People always say, ‘I don’t know where the Lord is leading me.’ I always say, it don’t really make a whole lot of difference. The important thing is to be where he has led you to already. If he has led you into a marriage, then be faithful there. If he has led you into being single, then be faithful there. If he has blessed you with many material goods, then be a good steward of those goods. And if he has blessed you by allowing you to imitate his life of poverty, then imitate it with great joy.
It’s a good song. Sad, but good. Of course I had to pull it up on my iTunes to listen to it since you brought it up…
