Awake My Soul...

I start this blog at a pivotal moment in my life.  Over the course of the next few posts, I hope to be able to express something of the deeper "awakening" of my own soul that has come about due to a series of recent events and circumstances, some joyful, some terrifying, all incredibly profound. 


This song, linked below and with lyrics, captures the essence of this life I'm living now, the life I'm blessed to be able to continue living, by the grace of God and the intercession of the saints and angels, and, at least I think or hope, it hearkens to something in the lives and souls of each who pass through this portal...

Where you invest your love, you invest your life...Amen, Marcus Mumford. Amen.

Awake My Soul
by Mumford & Sons

Awake My Soul (YouTube)

How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find any truth in your lies
And now my heart stumbles on things I don't know
This weakness I feel I must finally show

Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all
But lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall
Lend me your eyes I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep, totally free
Har har, har har, har har, har har

In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life
In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life

Awake my soul, awake my soul
Awake my soul
You were made to meet your maker
Awake my soul, awake my soul
Awake my soul
You were made to meet your maker
You were made to meet your maker

  1. Michelle, I have no idea what has happened to you in the past few weeks/months, but know that I am praying for you and I recognize the Lord's goodness in what has happened. God is good my sister! God is good!

  2. This sounds like you are clarifying a truth for yourself. And that is the only way to live anew. It took me two false trips to the e-room before I began to understand myself as spirit. Sometimes these things are a rude remind just how much we go through life resisting the truth. In each of us there is someone wanting to embrace life love and unity...and someone else resisting the unknown. We can choose which person we are in every precious moment.

    I love you for the vibrant and intelligent spirit you are...and have always been. To infinite and beyond... Thom.
