"round in circles"

The past couple of months have been extremely busy for me.
lately, i find myself running around doing this and that, cheering, and going places with friends and family and finding less and less time to just sit down, relax, and sit back and enjoy the things that God gives me.
from 6:30 to 7:20 the past two wednesdays and the hour that i'm at church on sundays have basically been the only times i've been able to sit down and listen to the amazing words and wonders of the Lord...and that's not enough.
also, being the stubborn procrastinator that i am, i have chem logs due on wednesday, of which i still havaen't finished the first question..
the cheer team is leaving for florida for nationals on thursday..
along with everything else that i have to worry about.
but, this week, i'm dedicating at least 10 minutes of myself every single day, with absolutely no distractions to God.


this is one of my favorite songs by probably the bset (and most attractive) christian bands ever.
it's called circles and i think it relates to me perfectly.


Ready set go
This is take 37, let it roll
I'm gonna get it right this time
Gonna fight this time
This time I'm for real
Look at me go
I'm off flying straight as an arrow
Then I feel the wind blow in, gravity sets in
And I don't know how to deal
I always start so strong

Before you even know it
I'm right back at the start
Doing what I hate
And breaking my own heart
I'm going back and forth
And then forth and then back
And then round in circles
I was never meant to travel on my own
So no matter what I try if I'm trying alone
I'm going back and forth
And then forth and then back
And then round in circles
Round in circles
Round in circles

Here's what I know
Direction goes out the window
The second that I hear Your word
I forget what I heard and go on just the same
(Go on just the same)
The beautiful part: it doesn't have to be this hard
I'm just deceiving myself I know I need Your help
Something's got to change
I know I need a change because

Before you even know it
I'm right back at the start
Doing what I hate
And breaking my own heart
I'm going back and forth
And then forth and then back
And then round in circles
I was never meant to travel on my own
So no matter what I try if I'm trying alone
I'm going back and forth
And then forth and then back
And then round in circles

No more insanity
I'm letting go of me
All this independence has made me dizzy
And now I can't see where I'm supposed to be
I had my turn and now my lesson's learned
I touched the fire and I got burned
I need Your healing touch
I've had enough
I'm tired of saying

Before you even know it
I'm right back at the start
(Tired of saying)
Doing what I hate
And breaking my own heart
I'm going back and forth
(Back and forth)
And then forth and then back
(Forth and back)
And then round in circles
(Round in circles)
I was never meant to travel on my own
(Not on my own)
So no matter what I try if I'm trying alone
(Trying alone)
I'm going back and forth
And then forth and then back
And then round in circles
(Round in circles)

Back and forth and
Forth and back and
Round in circles

Back and forth and
Forth and back and
Round in circles
