Christian Lady

This past Tuesday(February 8, 2011)  we watched this video in foreign Language Departmental chapel. I've kinda heard the story behind this song before but I've never really known the entire story. I just knew that the guy wrote this song after his son died or something like that. however, watching this video was...out of this world for lack of a better word. It seemed like...like a cartoon or a comedy where one bad thing after another happens to the character, you know? but in comedies we laugh at that, but in this video, I just kept thinking: "something else happened to this poor man?!" it almost seemed like a joke, unreal. and the song is playing as they are telling/showing what happened in his life, and it makes the whole thing so much more powerful because it's crazy to think that someone who have all that happened to him, and write those lyrics and MEAN THEM completely. I would love to be able to say or think that I would be able to react like that, but the truth is, I don't know for sure. but I want to. I want to be that kind of person, I want to love God that much.I want to be like that, that no matter what happens in my life, I always trust and love God, and I still look and feel the same way towards Him as when all things are going my way.
 
I know this will be a stretch, but I love this song( "she's a lady" by Tom Jones). for lots of reasons but mainly because I aspire, I want to be a lady like in that song. I know these two things do not seem related but I guess I want to be a Christian Lady, if that makes sense. I want to love God always, no matter how harsh the winds blow or how soft and breezy the wind blow, and I want to be...dignified and...steady in my life with God. that make sense? I also want to be like the girl he's describing in the song. I want a guy to hear this song and think of me, that that's a good description of me. the kind of person I want to be, can be described and understood in these two songs. 
I've always wanted to be a lady like in this song. maybe not always, but for awhile, ever since I first heard this song. and the song "all is well" is something else that I want to be. so like I said before, I want to be both of these things. as stated earlier, a Christian Lady.
