Walking a lonely road?
"Boulevard of Broken Dreams" By Greenday
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...
Alone in the Shadows
Well an interesting Saturday evening for me, as I sat down contemplating thoughts during the Leafs vs Sens game, which woot we won! After the game I then decided on going for a walk, because there were lots of things on my mind. Seemed on this evening that I thought of the things having to do with the people around me that I had never noticed before.
Sometimes I wonder if perhaps I can be too loud to realize that there are those around me who are hurting. Thinking about some of these people on this fine evening, I began walking randomly through the UPEI campus and then walking through Brown's Court (Party Central), not considering how dangerous it is on a Saturday evening in that area, but I obviously lived to tell... therefore I can tell you what I continued to think about as I saw a random streaker run by me... awkward!!!!.
Anyway, so I ended up by a small body of water close to the Rural Highschool here on the Island.
This is a place that I don't intend not to revisit. I sat down on the spray painted seats and then I looked up at the sky. I questioned the thought of how these people could feel as they do, and I myself began to break down and become lonely, considering the awww! of the universe. I again wondered if I were to loud before to recognize the wonders of God around me and began to feel a tug at my heart.
Its been a very long time since I have felt that tug.... I almost came to the point of tears at the tug and I recall actually doing that, when I accepted my first love into my life. We have been going through the book of Revelation in a class I am attending this semester and I seen myself at that very moment in perfect representation of the Church in Ephesus.
God was there, He was in my heart, but I had not thought seriously about my relationship with Him for a long time until now. I seem to be having a hard time this semester staying into God's word as a way to grow closer to God, which should not be. I completely disagree with this song by Green Day, especially if we have been able to find God. There are times though, like Saturday when we are literally walking down that lonely road, with only our shadow behind us seemingly.
The reason I believe, that I have experienced this and walked through Brown's Court on party night, living to tell about it, is because I was not alone, but God was with me that whole time, comforting my thoughts and my heart. He even protected me from a skunk that ran by me, which I found in a way humorous, looking to the sky and laughing.
Anyway, thats my rant.... I really pray that God is able to work in the lives of those around me, and at the same time, help the Faith of everyone I know, including me to become strong, so that we may minister to those who walk alone.
