Spotlights: Where every weekend I highlight a character, real-life person, blog post, book, movie, song, or moment that inspired me sometime that week

Hola readers!
I like Switchfoot - a lot. Ask my sister Korin and she will tell you that she threatens to hide my CDs since I have them on repeat much of the day. It'a true - their new album has been one of my favorite CDs this year so far and I eagerly take in their beautiful, sometimes soulful lyrics.
But one song stuck out to me more then the rest this week and I think I can make claim that it is my favorite on their current album: If The House Burns Down Tonight.

We rocket down the road like we're shot out of guns

And if the house burns down tonight

I got everything I need with you by my side

Holding you and the wheel and it occurs to me

We're driving down the edge of eternity

And if the house burns down tonight

I got everything I need when I got you by my side

And let the rest burn

And let the rest burn |

I have both good and bad memories stored up in this house my family has lived in for over ten years. I have letters saved from when I was five years old collected in a a Paris themed box, the lid almost coming off it's so full. I have boxes of photos stacked around my bedroom, many taken on camera film when those things still existed, the lighting bad but the subjects beautiful.
And then there's my stories on my laptop, ones I worked hard on all through High School. Could I say, "thy will be done" with those manuscripts as I finish the edits on When Darkness Rises?
Could I say, "God, you could take it all from me now and I would be still praising you?"
My world's been dark before, but I've never had to deal with losing everything.
Am I as close to God as I need to be or am I only relying on Him most of the time? Do I truly take the time to see how much He should mean in my life?

Were draining me dry making a ghost of me

And if the house burns down tonight

I got everything I need, everything I need

There’s a fire coming that we all will go through

You possess your possessions or they possess you

And if the house burns down tonight

I got everything I need when I got you by my side |

These questions haunted my all week as I lay in bed with a cold or as I took time to read my Bible (you have a lot of time to think when sick, I've learned). And as I listened to the song for the thousandth time.
Do my possessions posses me? Do I realize, truly deep down realize who my life belongs to? That nothing is really mine?
