In My Room

Just today or more like yesterday because where it's 1:10 in the morning and I should be sound asleep I'm wide awake with a  headache that just won't go away I'm awake. But today/yesterday while I was making dinner a song came on my playlist on Spotify that I was listening to. It was a little strange because I have heard the song over and over again. It got me through many stuck times in my life, many sleepless nights like tonight but I never really thought too much about it. The song is called In My Room by Thousand Foot Krutch and I never really listen to them much in the years they were popular with the Christian kids. But I felt something when my cousin showed me the song, this called me to play it over and over and over again. It's been played over 880 times according to Spotify. But I'm rabbit trailing big time. As I was making dinner and listening to the song. A line in the song caught my attention "But can you meet me in my room, a place where I feel safe, don't have to run away and I can just be me." I listened to the story behind the song ( This band has some pretty neat stories about their lives and the songs they wrote) and it was talking about how people can go about their lives and whenever they feel stuck in a place where they are struggling it's hard to find a safe place to meet/talk because it doesn't feel safe. The song was talking about asking Jesus to meet us in our room (not our bedroom but anyplace we feel safe to talk to him. For the lead singer his room as through his songs and the relationship he has with the Lord. It got me really thinking. For me usually when I'm in that place my safest place is my room and it has always been. As a child and even as an adult I spent most of my life in my room, my haven/safe place. Most teenagers spend a good portion of their teen years locking themselves in their room. It has never occurred to me that the whole song I was listening to was asking the Lord to me you in your room, your safe place where you can have any conversation with the Lord. Not necessarily it had to be"your room." It might make this song seem more spiritual and religious but I guess what I'm getting at is this. Whether your a Christian or non Christian find your safe place and if you're a Christian meet the Lord there. If you're a non Christian keep that as your safe thinking/processing life and goals place. It's important to have a place where you don't have to run away and can just be you.
