I miss those blue eyes
How you kiss me at night
I miss the way we sleep

Like there's no sunrise
Like the taste of your smile
I miss the way we breathe

But I never told you
What I should have said
No, I never told you
I just held it in

And now,
I miss everything about you
Can't believe that I still want you
And after all the things we've been through
I miss everything about you
Without you

I see your blue eyes
Everytime I close mine
You make it hard to see
Where I belong to
When I'm not around you
It's like I'm alone with me

But I never told you
What I should have said
No, I never told you
I just held it in

And now,
I miss everything about you
Can't believe that I still want you
And after all the things we've been through
I miss everything about you
Without you

But I never told you
What I should have said
No, I never told you
I just held it in

And now,
I miss everything about you
Can't believe that I still want you
And after all the things we've been through
I miss everything about you
Without you

Ingrid Michaelson parachute

I don't tell anyone about the way you hold my hand
Don't tell anyone about the things that we have planned
I won't tell anybody/won't tell anybody
They wanna push me down/they wanna see you fall
I don't tell anybody that you turn the world around
I won't tell anyone that your voice is my favorite sound
I won't tell anybody/won't tell anybody
They wanna see us fall/they wanna see us fall down

Chorus:
I don't need a parachute baby if I've got you
Baby, if I've got you, Idon't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me/you're gonna catch if I fall
(down, down, down)
(REPEAT)

Don't believe the things you tell yourself so late at night
You are your own worst enemy; you'll never win the fight
Just hold on to me and I'll hold onto you
it's you and me against the world it's you and me, love

(chorus)

I won't fall outta love
I won't fall outta...
I'll fall into you

(repeat and alternate with chorus)

" I’ve learned that fully 85% of what you accomplish in your career and in your personal life will be determined by how well you get your message across and by how capable you are in inspiring people to take action on your ideas."

I recently had an interesting and revealing conversation with a young man at Mars Hill Church. The bottom line was that he lacked any serious motivation and direction in his life and didn’t have a clue as to what he wanted to see happen in/through his life. I was reminded of the line from Tombstone spoken by Wyatt Earp: “I spent my whole life not knowing what I wanted out of life.” Those words have always haunted me and led me to pray that Jesus would continue to give me clarity regarding what my life is all about. As this young man and I continued to talk about how he should go about getting some gas in his tank and fire in his belly, I shared three things with him:

3 Things to Do If You Lack Direction

Determine exactly what it is you want to achieve.
Ask yourself what it will take to achieve it.
Pay the price and do what it takes, regardless of the cost or inconvenience to you.

The gospel needs to be the foundation from which these three steps flow. It is imperative that I begin with who I am in Jesus and who he is in me. It is important to get in touch with my God-given passion, gifts, and calling, which will aid me in determining my unique contribution.

Life Planning Retreats

I often suggest to those young men I coach that they start this process by getting away on a “life planning retreat” for most of a day to think, pray, and seek his will. This time will often jumpstart a process which may take months or even years. We are talking about a combination of both dreaming big and, at the same time, focusing on a few things to give my time and attention to—maybe only one thing over time. I was captivated by a statement I recently heard: “I want to be 100% good at a few things rather than so-so at a lot of things." Dream big and then focus your energy and time like a laser. You might not achieve all you dream of, but you most certainly will not achieve anything you don’t dream of. Check out Dave Kraft's new book, Leaders Who Last.

Les Miserables - I Dreamed a Dream Lyrics

There was a time, when men were kind
And their voices were soft
And their words were inviting
There was a time, when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving

Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they turn your hope apart
As they turn your dreams to shame

He slept a summer by my side
He filled my dreams with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came

And still I dream he'd come to me
That we would live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from the hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed
