Have you been walking on a surface that's uncertain?
Have you helped yourself to everything that's empty?
You can't live this way too long.
There's more than this, more than this.
Have you been standing on your own feet too long?
Have you been looking for a place where you belong?
You can rest, you will find rest.
You can rest, you will find rest.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade.
Let this new life offered be your saving grace.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade, let it fade.
Have you been holding on to what this world has offered?
Have you been giving in to all these masquerades?
It will be gone, forever gone.
It will be gone, it will be gone
Let this old life crumble, let it fade.
Let this new life offered be your saving grace.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade, let it fade.
Let it fade.
Are you carrying the weight too much?, are you running from the call?
Let it fade, Oh yeah.
You can rest, you will find rest.
You can rest you will find rest.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade.
Let this new life offered be your saving grace.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade, let it fade.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade.

It stared me right in the face! It was as if God was saying directly to me: "Jessica, let it go, it doesn't define you, I've created you for more!". I just want to argue this saying "how can I be used if people have a hard time understanding me?". "Why didn't I sing when I could, so many missed opportunities to praise Him!". I think I've even drawn the conclusion you're not normal if you don't sound normal. Please don't take this as my own personal pity party, I just trying to sort through feelings & truths/lies. I haven't let go of this, but I like to think I've made some headway. Just like the song says 'you'll find rest' and I pray I find a place where I can rest in this, knowing my speech may never return in the way I expected, but accepting it and trusting God has so much more for me.
Thanks for listening!
SIDE NOTE: PRAISE - I went out to dinner with my family this past Friday and usually I select the menu item that will be the easiest, knowing I'll still take forever eating it and most likely bringing at least half home.... BUT.... I finished it all. I had my favorite off their menu, a bean & cheese burrito that was the size of the plate. I even took a picture of the clean plate, I should of taken one before hand but I jumped onto that before I even had a thought to. It was so yummy! Thanks again for the continued prayers on my swallowing, it still isn't back to normal but it is better than it was a year or even 6 months ago. Thank You Lord!
Blessings.
