Behind the scenes..

You may think
I’m just fine
How could anything
Ever be out of line?

I take my time
To set the stage
To make sure everything
Is all in place

Even though I’ve got the lines rehearsed
A picture only paints a thousand words

Things aren’t always what they seem
You’re only seeing part of me
There’s more than you could ever know
Behind the scenes
I’m incomplete and I’m undone
But I suppose like everyone
There’s so much more that’s going on
Behind the scenes

Sometimes I can’t see
Anything
Through the dark
Surrounding me
And at times I’m unsure
About the ground
Beneath my feet
If it’s safe and sound

When it’s hard to find hope in the unseen
I have peace in knowing it will find me

Things aren’t always what they seem
You’re only seeing part of me
There’s more than you could ever know
Behind the scenes


I’m incomplete and I’m undone
But I suppose like everyone
There’s so much more that’s going on
Behind the scenes

You may think I'm just fine

How could anything ever be out of line?

I love this song. And, I love that its from a Christian artist. I think so many times ppl think that if you follow God and youre a Christian then you're exempt from things like hurt, pain & suffering. And that is so not true. Ive found that its when you're doing God's work that Satan tries to attack you the most. (that may sound scary to non Christians, but it just means you're doing what you're suppose to do and the devil doesnt like it!) He wants you to give up and give in. ALSO, I know that God allows certain hurts/situations in your life to test and grow your faith. Not all of those situations are good. (but the end result will be for your good, if you follow and obey Him!) So by saying Im a Chrisitan Im not saying life is peachy all the time..always happiness. I think a lot of the time people get the wrong impression. (Ive even been told before that I give off that impression..) I think in writting this I just wanted to say that that isnt true......Life ISNT always good. Life ISNT always happy. People disappoint you, things dont always (sometimes even rarely) go your way, sometimes when there's something you really want the answer is "no", then there are things like sickness and death that can hit anyone at anytime....life just isnt fair. BUT in the last 7yrs, as a Christian w/Jesus Christ living in my heart, I have learned that HE never changes..even when everything else around us seems to. He will not disappoint, He will not leave, He will ALWAYS love us, and He will ALWAYS lead us in the right direction if we will just listen. And there are seasons of suffering/pain that hit everyone. The difference is, as a Christian, I can see THE goal. Even when life throws things at me and it gets so dark I cant see anything good here on this side of heaven, I CAN see my Savior. The reason why Im here. And the place and THE ONE Im going to be with someday. That makes everything else seem unimportant..no matter how deep the cut. The difference is happiness and joy are not the same thing. Happiness is based on lifes circumstances and our emotions. Joy is constant and lives in the heart. I may not always be happy bc of lifes situations but I always have the joy that comes from knowing my Creator. And nothing can take that joy away. :)
