Caedmon's Call "Table for Two"

Hmmm, this blog might make me a bit vulnerable! haha
I was listening to my iPod while cleaning the basement suite tonight (moving to a new place at the end of the month and a few people are coming to view it tomorrow morn), and the Caedmon's Call song " Table for Two" came on. Almost everyone has been at that place where they wonder and just "hate being alone." The song reminded me of conversations that I have had over the years with quite a few friends and family members. The conversation about relationships and wondering if that special guy or girl will ever come along, why it always seems that "every girl that likes me I don't like, and every girl I like doesn't like me!" I think that is a direct quote that someone said to me today! I have had so many people express those kinds of comments to me lately, and being a single guy in my late 20s I can't help but wonder myself about the plan that God has for my life and wondering when or if that special woman will come along.

I love these lyrics in particular:

"And You knew this day
long before You made me out of dirt

And You know the plans that You have for me
And You can't plan the end and not plan the means "

I know that God has a plan for my life! I have seen His amazing plan for my life as I look back and see all the places I have been and how I have grown in each place and that I probably wouldn't have been able to make all of these moves if I had met a special someone along the way. God had and continues to have a plan for my life. I know that He has me in the palm of His hand into the future and I will look back and smile at the perfect timing and plan that He had for me!

I just wanted to share this song as an encouragement and reminder to people that God has a plan for your life, beyond what we could imagine for our own life. He is in control.

"Danny and I spent another late night over pancakes,
Talkin' 'bout soccer
And how every man's just the same
We made speculation
On the who's and the when's of our futures
And how everyone's lonely
But still we just couldn't complain

And how we just hate being alone
Could I have missed my only chance
And now I'm just wasting my time
By looking around
But you know I know better
I'm not gonna worry 'bout nothing
Cause if the birds and the flowers survive
Then I'll make it okay
I'm given a chance and a rock
see which one breaks a window
See which one keeps me up all night and into the day

Because I'm so scared of being alone
That I forget what house I live in
But it's not my job to wait by the phone
For her to call

Well this day's been crazy
But everything's happened on schedule
from the rain and the cold
To the drink that I spilled on my shirt
'Cause You knew how You'd save me
before I fell dead in the garden
And You knew this day
long before You made me out of dirt

And You know the plans that You have for me
And You can't plan the end and not plan the means
And so I suppose I just need some peace
Just to get me to sleep."

I couldn't find an official video for the song, but I thought this was kind of a cute re-enactment!
