Safe to Land

I know I know this should be about hawaii. I'll get to the greatness of the island life! but for now:

Lyrics:
Getting tired from all this circling
Not much grace left on a broken wing
I feel the wind trying to push me down
It happens every time I get to town

I search for shelter near the mines we swept
I guess forgiveness hasn't happened yet
There are no words that I can say to you
To turn this careless sky from black to blue
So I'm asking you

Is it safe, is it safe to land?
'Cause I'm not going far on an empty heart
Is it safe, is it safe to land?
'Cause the long fall back to earth is the hardest part

I'm in no weather for apology
I need your runway lights to burn for me
And if you say that I can come around
I'll love you right, I won't let you down
I won't let you down
'Cause I'm coming home, if these wheels touch down

I'm coming home, I'm waking you up
In the middle of the night, I'm not giving up
I'm gonna stay, till we make it work
We're not going down even if it gets worse
We'll work it out, yeah, we'll work it out
I need your light, guide me in

Is it safe?



good question! i got sick on the bumpy landing today.. i thought/hoped sick plane days were over since i had been good for over 6 months of flying. not yet. have you heard the most dangerous part of the space shuttle's mission is the reentry into the earth atmosphere? what if the ship is already damaged? yikes!

Oh....landing is my favorite part! I love that my heart skips a beat as the wheels touch the runway thinking that if the pilot doesn't do it just right...well we might crash and die. Ye there is security because I know that ultimately behind those wings are the loving hand of the Father, guiding us and directing us down that runway. So....my heart can skip a beat and then I land and I am so excited because whether I land in the states or another country...it always means some grand adventure, ya know? Praying for your landing and the knowledge that God is in control and even if your heart skips a beat, He knows what is coming next :) Love ya and hope Hawaii was awesome! Can't wait to see pics...Penny comes next week, wish you were coming with her.
