Music is one of my passions. It has a way of reaching me deep inside my soul where words fall short. God has used certain songs in my life to convey truth, inspire me, encourage me, convict me, the list goes on and on... This morning I listened to the song Somewhere in the Middle by Casting Crowns. The lyrics seem to describe my life at the moment. I would post the audio on my blog if I knew how!Somewhere between the hot and the cold
Somewhere between the new and the old
Somewhere between who I am and who I used to be
Somewhere in the middle, You'll find me
Somewhere between the wrong and the right
Somewhere between the darkness and the light
Somewhere between who I was and who You're making me
Somewhere in the middle, You'll find me
Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender without losing all control
Fearless warriors in a picket fence
Reckless abandon wrapped in common sense
Deep water faith in the shallow end and we are caught in the middle
With eyes wide open to the differences,
The God we want and the God who is
But will we trade our dreams for His or are we caught in the middle
Are we caught in the middle
Somewhere between my heart and my hands
Somewhere between my faith and my plans
Somewhere between the safety of the boat and the crashing waves
Somewhere between a whisper and a roar
Somewhere between the altar and the door
Somewhere between contented peace and always wanting more
Somewhere in the middle You'll find me
Lord, I feel You in this place and I know You're by my side
Loving me even on these nights when I'm caught in the middle

i hope that it will work this way for you. but this song has a lot of meaning behind it. i can relate to this too. what gets me is the end.
