I've had this song stuck in my head for a while.

Better Days
Goo Goo Dolls

And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
'Cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
'Cause everyone is forgiven now
'Casuse tonight's the night the world begins again

And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And that's faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words
And sing out loud
'Cause everyone is forgiven now
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
'Cause everyone is forgiven now
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

And a prayer...

God, are you still there? Are you still you? Am I still me? �We are all the ages we ever were.� Yes, I am still me. Me is always changing. I am all the ages I ever was. I am 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20. I am even 7, 8, 9, 11, though I don�t remember much.

I am the Christmas I got my dictionary. I am the days I felt like an outcast in seventh grade. I am simultaneously Jeremiah�s cousin and Sam�s sister. I am the girl who was in love with Nate. I am the she who gave her life to Christ. I am the pessimist just as I am the optimist. I am the high school freshman and the college freshman. I am Sara�s roommate, Rebekah�s roommate, and Jenny�s roommate. I am Elizabeth�s friend and Rebecca�s friend. I am the music student, the art student, and the English/French student. I am everyone I ever was and I am God�s.

And I am God�s.

You are there. Because You always have been. You�ve always been a part of me, whether I knew it or not. You are God, and You are my God.

-Stephanie
