Last night Tom and I heard a haunting song by Courtney Jones at the end of Flashpoint-- music, vocals, lyrics, all three, lovely, stay-in-your-head stuff.
Love may be the end of us
But why should we fear
Because with all the wondering
I'm weightless here in my dreams
Oh my, the God of Love has been the end of me-- the fearful, worrying, shy, selfish me and who wanted to be her anyway? When she is gone, I truly am weightless here in my dreams-come-true. Light, free. Sitting out on my sunny patio planting seeds in tiny pots and believing there's no better thing I could be doing.
And I'm flying, too, above the trees just barely greening around me, weightless because God is making me so. Why dread the changes He wants to bring? Why make sorry excuses when He shows me the little fears still niggling and the reasons why frustration impedes my progress and why I'm still complaining, even about the weather?
I mean, why dread flying in the weightlessness He leaves behind?
The momentary discomfort of truth-facing is, in Eternity's light, just, well, momentary. So may I allow Him to complete the work He's begun, the good and perfect work which ever aims at setting me free to sing. And fly in joy. And be the weightless me rising, living nearer His heavenly heart even while dwelling upon this Earth.

Not a fan of Twilight, but here is Courtney Jones' beautiful song which we heard last night:
**************
God doesn't want to take away our fun; He longs to take the burdens which steal our joy.
"But godliness with contentment is great gain." I Timothy 6:6
**************
Oh! Discovered an oh-so-cool official Courtney Jones youtube video here! Tom and I found this one amazing, especially considering our love of traveling on the open road. Our admiration of classic old cars, also. :)
