I live and I breathe for an audience of one.

Usually when I train I leave the iPod at home. It's suggested I should because during the 3-Day I won't be able to use one. Plus, my longer training walks take me all over Addison... and I would rather hear the DART bus before it runs me over.

Anyway, today I did a shorter walk (I know, I know, today was supposed to be 14 miles) so I stayed in the park and brought my tunes. And Sara Groves spoke to me.

This Journey is My Own - Sara Groves
When I stand before the Lord, I’ll be standing alone.
This journey is my own.
Still I want man’s advice, and I need man’s approval.
This journey is my own.
Why would I want to live for man, and pay the highest price?
What does it mean to gain a whole world, only to lose my life?
So much of what I do is to make a good impression.
This journey is my own.
And so much of what I say is to make myself look better.
But this journey is my own.
And why would I want to live for man, and pay the highest price?
And what does it mean to gain a whole world, only to lose my life?
And I have never felt relief like I feel it right now.
This journey is my own.
Cuz trying to please the world, it was breaking me down.
It was breaking me down...
And now I live and I breathe for an audience of one.
Now I live and I breathe for an audience of one.
Now I live and I breathe for an audience of one.
Cuz I know this journey is my own.
And why would I want to live for man, and pay the highest price?
And what does it mean to gain a whole world, only to lose my life?
And you can live for someone else, and it will only bring you pain.
I can’t even judge myself, only the Lord can say...
‘Well done.’
Oh, this journey is my own.

Let me know if you want to know more about my Lord.
