Very Encouraging Song Many People Still Love - 2 Videos

Hello again my wonderful special friends! I hope you are having a very good day. I was just browsing the net for something encouraging to help keep my day on balance, because we all know how difficult it can be to get through some days.

For some people, it may be hard to get through each day, and that's why I am here. I want you to know that you are NOT alone, I am here to offer my friendship if you're willing to accept it.

Hey I'm a friend who actually cares, not JUST a blog....I highly encourage you to leave a comment, or send me a quick email, and be free to be yourself. I DON'T judge people, so that means you could have just hit the jackpot...

Here's a very interesting video I'm sure you've already heard of..

The song is "Circle of Life." Do that ring a bell? It's the opening song on Lion King. I've always like this movie, and the song for that matter since I was a teenager, I think...and my 20 month old daughter loves this song, and even tries to sing it each time she makes me play it on TV.

What's the Big Idea about this Song/Video?

Well first of all, it can be a very encouraging song if you know the lyrics and the meaning behind it. For years I've never known all the words to this song, and had NO clue what it meant until I search online for the lyrics and meaning.

I also listed the words to the song, which is below the video.

How does this song encourage me?

"The circle of Life" makes me think about "Life" which for me means "The Kingdom of God" (This is what I visualize here.)

"Till we find our place. On the path unwinding" With the phrase "On the path unwinding," unwinding simply means to undo something, or reach a point of relaxation or freedom from pain, hurt, misery, so on. For me "The Kingdom of God" is definitely that place.

I know many people may not believe in God, or the Kingdom of God... and I respect that, but "that place" for you could be different. It could be whatever you look forward to.

On the video when the animals go nuts and start bowing down to "Simba" the baby lion, I think about God's people bowing down to him in that precious Eternal Life. (I love Mufasa, he's a babe, He he! I mean to be a lion of course, he's not my type)

I posted 2 versions of this song below- So check out both...

Here's the original Lion King Song

Lyrics for Lion King

From the day we arrive on this planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

There is far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life

Rafiki & Chorus:
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life

Here's the second Version! I really like this one... By:Hilary Duff, Raven Simone & Disney Stars - Circle Of Life

Song Lyrics - See the original video of the actual singers Here

From the day we arrive on the planet

And blinking step into the sun

There's more to be seen that could ever be seen

More to do that could ever be done


Some say eat or be eaten

Some say live and let live

But all are agreed as they join the stampede

You should never take more than you give



(Chorus)

In the circle of life

It's the wheel of fortune

It's a leap of faith

It's the band of hope

'Til we find our place on the path unwinding

In the circle, the circle of life



Some of us fall by the wayside

And some of us soar to the stars

And some of us sail through our troubles

And some have to live with our scars



There's far too much to take in here

More to find than could ever be found

But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky

Keeps great and small on the endless round

Well I guess that rounds it up pretty good. Feel free to post your thoughts about this song.

Who is Richelle Exactly? I Gotta Hear This!

Are you sure you want me to answer that?...

Okay I'll give you a minute to think about that...and while you're thinking about that, here's an opening message from me to you. Click "Play" and enjoy.

Alright that's enough time for you, right?...

First let me welcome you to my blog. WELCOME my friends!

Next I want to talk about why I created this blog

To be completely honest with you. I have a really strong passion for people in general and I'm sure I've noticed it for a long time now. It bothers me and it literally touches my heart when knowing someone else is hurting or going through hard times in their life.

I'm creating this blog for the purpose of reaching out to people who may need encouragement, or maybe just a friend to keep on your communication lines to cheer you up whenever you need it. Hey I think I can come in handy for that.

There's NO hidden agendas here ya know

Keep in mind that I'm not the sneaky one here. I'm not going to throw you a sales pitch behind the scenes to try to take your money or any other deceitful and selfish thing. This will destroy the whole purpose of this blog - which is to love and encourage you, whoever you may be.

But Really - Who are you Richelle?

Okay you asked again, so here's your answer...

I am an ordinary person, a mother of a 20 month old, and a wife of a loving man. I've been through some trials and rough times during my 29 years of life. I've suffered health issues, emotional issues (including depression), and financial issues.

There has been times I thought about giving up on life, although I've never really thought about killing myself, I was just tired of suffering, period.

It took a while for me to trust that God will work things out according to His will. The trials we go through in this life will help us develop that Godly character and to rely and depend on God for everything - as well as demonstrating Godly-Love for each other.

Loving and Caring for others is far more satisfying than "Selfishness"

First let me get something straight here.

I am "No One" special here (especially NOT perfect.)

I am always going through something in life. As a matter of fact, I am still facing most of the things I mentioned at the beginning of this post. I just chose to go through it with a positive attitude rather than feeling sorry for myself and constantly focusing on it.

There are people who are going through some things lot worst than me, so why "selfishly" worry about my problems when there are people who desperately needs God's blessings and spiritual encouragement from the right people who are willing to love them unconditionally?

What is this blog ALL about?

I will be posting some personal videos of myself (and my family sometimes) so you can get a touch of my "personality." Besides...most people would choose to hear a voice and see a face over reading about someone or something. Wouldn't you?...

I will also be posting simple posts about life, a lot having to do with encouragement and love, you'll see what I mean if you are following this blog.

I will also love to hear from you, so if you feel like sending out some love, you are always welcome to leave a comment below at anytime.

Remember, I love you and I'm always here if you want to drop me a line below or shoot me an email to putothersfirst@gmail.com.
