Love Story: How I Found God in Taylor Swift

"For God so loved the world that He gave us His only Son. So that whomever believes in Him might not perish, but have eternal life."
-John 3:16-17

What an amazing thought! God loves His creation of man so much that He gave us His only Son. God loves us so much that He pursues us, He seeks us, He calls us, because He wishes for us to love Him back.

Like many people, I sometimes listen to music and sing along with it as a form of prayer, because it seems to be one way I can effectively communicate with God. And normally, when I feel God speaking to me through this music, it is usually Christian or instrumental music. But God seems to have other ways of calling us in the music we listen to, something I only recently realized.

I was at a dance with a few of my good Catholic friends when the song "You Belong With Me," by Taylor Swift, came on. At one point in the song, the lyrics say:

"I know your favorite songs

And you tell me 'bout your dreams

Think I know where you belong,

Think I know it's with me..."

I suddenly realized that God was singing that to me. There was no loud voice, no thunder bolts, nothing extraordinary happening. There was just a small stirring in my heart as if God was saying, "You belong with Me and I love you..."

So next time you have some song lyrics dancing around in your head when you are trying to pray, or your favorite song comes on the radio, stop and really listen for a moment....listen with your heart. Maybe God's got something to say to you...

Falling

Written by Your's truely

My heart was
Longing for love,
And then I found you.
Something...
Who knows what...
Happened to me.
And I'm...

Falling,
Falling,
Falling,
Floating,
Drifting,
Falling,
Slowly,
Softly,
Falling...
Falling for you.

I never thought that
This could happen,
But yet I hoped it would.
Never guessed that I'd be...

Falling,
Falling,
Falling,
Floating,
Drifting,
Falling,
Slowly,
Softly,
Falling...
Falling for you.

And it's better than
I dreamed of.
It's beautiful! Wonderful!
Because I'm....

Falling,
Falling,
Falling,
Floating,
Drifting,
Falling,
Slowly,
Softly,
Falling...
Falling for you.

A Song...

Love is hard,
Why does everybody make it seem easy?
Cause when you know it for real,
You find out that it isn’t easy at all…

It’s so hard
When You’re not with me
And it’s so hard
To remember You care
It’s so easy
To forget You
And it’s so easy to run away…

When I close my eyes
I can see You,
But when open them again
Everything is so distracting
That I get lost…

It’s so hard
When You’re not with me
And it’s so hard
To remember You care
It’s so easy
To forget You
And it’s so easy to run away…

(Yes, this was written by me.)
