If We're Honest.

It takes a step and a deep breath to start a journey. And while we move, the steps won't be all green for us. There are times we will be met with the thorns, and they'll hurt us in ways not imagined.

... and that's life.

If we're being brutally honest with ourselves, we know deeply that things won't always work for us no matter how many plans we make for it. Yes! It hurts so badly watching the thing you plan for going into the ditch after you've worked both day and night to get it working. It sucks so bad that giving up and just being alone is needed. And, there's nothing wrong with that.

Taking a deep breath and stepping back to relax and recharge the body is needed if we are to embark on life's journey. And the truth is that, when we put God first, I believe He knows our names, He knows our hearts, and knows exactly what's best for us and that...that could change everything.

As long as we know and accept that things won't be all rosy for us, and that everything has its time, just like the quote aforementioned. Sometimes, we expect a very big change that we fail to see the little changes in our lives. We become blind to our desire and whine endlessly on how no one is listening whereas, the things we want are happening, but not just as we expect them to.

Therefore, today, being Saturday, I bring Francesca's songs to my lips as they serve as an inspiration to the battles and victories I have gotten in life and the ones yet to come. And maybe, just maybe the Lord can speak to you through these songs as well.

But before we move further, let's get a sneak into Francesca's life.

Francesca.

Francesca Battistelli is an American Christian singer and songwriter who is happily married with six kids. Her lifestyle is an inspiration, and so are her songs.

She was born on May 18, 1985, in New York City, U.S.

Now, let's move toward her musical world.

The melody. The sweet lyrics that come through are interesting to the ears. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Clear your mind of that worry and let the music guide you.

Be honest to yourself and watch how that will change your life. Have fun listening.

He Knows My Name: Francesca Battistelli.

Everybody has their story, so be kind. The kindest soul you know may be going through a rough patch in life. Be kind to yourself and appreciate whatever you have.

God knows your name, so embrace Him. He is right there for you. You are famous in His eyes, and He knows your name.

Reflect on your life and talk to yourself. That moment alone could change everything for you.
