Inspired by lyrics to “What I Seek Is Seeking Me” by Sue Riley/Jana Stanfield
The whisper that I hear In my heart is telling me it’s time to start to become the me I’m here to be.
“What I seek is seeking me, even when that’s hard to see.”
“It’s time to just let go of my fear, trusting that the net will appear, believe that things I know are true in everything I say and do.”
“I choose faith, so I believe! What I seek is seeking me.”
