If I Were In Your Shoes...

*How could everything be so unfair?  I feel like I can’t do anything.  I wanted to go out with my church friends so badly.  My parents said I couldn’t go so I have to stay in the house like a nobody.  Yet. I’m expected to be happy and smiling and saying “everything is gonna be alright”.  Why do I have to ask permission for everything?  Some people I know just leave the house, do their own thing and just say they’ll be back by so and so time.

Right now I am feeling so depressed and at times like these I need help.  I feel a pain within my heart.  At times like these, I feel my life is a storm.  There was once a song called, Stormy Weather but I forgot who sang it. It was
actually an 80’s christian song. 

How I’m Feeling: Stormy Weather by Los Latinos

“Up ahead there’s stormy weather, seems I’ve been here many times before.  Lightening strikes out in the darkness and then the darkness comes once more.  Just when I thought I cried my final tear, I thought I knew which way to go.  The tempest leaves my heart so broken and then the cold wind starts to blow.

Lord You, You know what it means to be alone, to whether the storm.  Lord You, You sailed through this sea of life before and I need to follow Your call.

Up ahead there’s stormy weather, troubled waters almost hold me in.  When these times have brought the loneliness, it’s good to know that You’re my friend.  Up ahead there’s stormy weather, oh but I don’t worry, I won’t cry no more.  ‘Cause You’re the Captain of this ship I’m in and You have sailed these seas before.”
