What Ifs

First of all, Mass today was AWESOME!!!!!! Fr. Rick was the main celebrant and Fr. Calloway con-celebrated. Two very holy men...very cool. In Fr. Rick's homily today, he talked about having to take risks. I have somewhat of a problem taking risks. You might not guess that, but I do. I had a massive freak out right before I switched high schools and I had quite the freak out before I came here to Franciscan. Heck, I even dyed my hair pink last night. Haha. Just the tips, but it looks really sweet :) But back to what I was talking about. Fr. Rick said doing the safe thing never accomplished anything. He's so right. I've been stressing out about getting a counselor here on campus because I've had so many problems with ones in the past. I still have yet to turn in the paperwork, but I'm working on it. I'm thinking of giving it to a friend to turn in for me. Chances are, I won't do it, knowing how things could turn out. But Fr. Rick's homily was exactly what I needed to hear. It was really encouraging. I guess we'll see.

Here's a song that's really touched my life. I saw Nichole Nordeman in concert with Casting Crowns before I truly believed in God. This song really helps me when I'm struggling with doubt.





What if you're right?
And he was just another nice guy
What if you're right?
What if it's true?
They say the cross will only make a fool of you
And what if it's true?

What if he takes his place in history
With all the prophets and the kings
Who taught us love and came in peace
But then the story ends
What then?

But what if you're wrong?
What if there's more?
What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for?
What if you jump?
And just close your eyes?
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if He's more than enough?
What if it's love?

What if you dig
Way down deeper than your simple-minded friends?
What if you dig?
What if you find
A thousand more unanswered questions down inside?
That's all you find.

What if you pick apart the logic
And begin to poke the holes
What if the crown of thorns is no more
Than folklore that must be told and retold?

But what if you're wrong?
What if there's more?
What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for?
What if you jump?
And just close your eyes?
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if He's more than enough?
What if it's love?

You've been running as fast as you can
You've been looking for a place you can land for so long...
But what if you're wrong?
