You kept your promise
You told me that I could so I did
I started over
Now I discovered things about me
You had created
Shackled by my past
Lord I'm free at last
CHORUS:
Real Life Real Life
Oh, I'm finally living
New Life New Life
Ohhhh yeah!
Real Life Real Life
Oh, I'm finally living
Brand New Life New Life
Ohhhh
I see in the way the sun comes up
I'm starting over
A brand new day this way
Now and forever
Maybe all you need like me
Just had to hear it
Well listen up
Pick yourself up
Begin to live a real life

On the cross you died for me
So I could live forever free
And the hope I feel cannot compare
Through your strength I'm movin' on
And my heart is growin' strong
No one else could offer this to me
I'm talking bout I'm livin' a, a real real life

There is no-one else we can put our total hope and trust in other than Jesus..
God has a place in His heart for you no matter what you have lost or gone through and Tammy is a shining example of this.
We can ask all the "why" questions, but it's not the "why" questions that really matter, it is the "Who"..!!
God bless you if you've come here to hear Tammy share her story, and maybe you've been asking those "why's".. I pray you'll discover the immovable "Who" as He opens His arms to welcome you into your eternal destiny..

your reply reminded me of a Book I'm reading about, you should check it out if you haven't read it! it's called Plan B its by Pete Wilson! It's about what God has for us when our original plan doesn't go how we want it to go!
