so sad...

Hey girls...I had to share this..

casting crowns put out this song recently (which by the way - the lyrics are amazing)...and it's set to this video of Britney Spears...I know most of u don't care about britney lol - BUT It's really sad as you watch her life progress into what it's gradually turned into...and the words to the song are just so true to every detail of her life...so listen...instead of judging, someone needs to reach out to her. Everyone searches for something, everyone searches for answers - but what will we find without God in the midst? ANYWAYS, just watch the whole thing...it's so upsetting to see how beautiful & full of life she was when she first started out, and to see her get herself to the point she is at.

wanted to post the lyrics...
-----------------------------------------

She is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction.
She is trying
But the canyon's ever widening
In the depths of her cold heart.
So she sets out on another misadventure just to find
She's another two years older
And she's three more steps behind

Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she's going down today?
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me..
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?

She is yearning
for shelter and affection
That she never found at home.
She is searching
For a hero to ride in...
To ride in and save the day
And in walks her prince charming
And he knows just what to say
Momentary lapse of reason
And she gives herself away.

Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?

If judgment looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Can't see past her scarlet letter
And we've never even met her

If judgment looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Can't see past her scarlet letter
And we've never even met her

Never even met her


Does anybody hear her? Does anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me

Does anybody hear her? Does anybody see?
Does anybody even know she's going down today?
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Does anybody see?

He is running a hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction

It really is sad......

I mean she has nothing but herself to blame for her life but could you imagine going through such a downward spiral in your life and having NO ONE to support you.

I actually feel really bad for her!!

I hope she gets the help she needs.. It's her boys that will suffer the most

i know! that last photo of her with her son grabbed me...and as they showed it the song turned from saying 'he' to 'she'...meaning if there's no help, he'll be the one to suffer down the road like it devon said above, I can't imagine going through everything she's been through with NOONE there..especially being that deepdown she KNOWS it's herself and just doesn't know what to do or how to help herself.it's just sad

Addiction is a painful thing, so is mental instability, put those 2 things together and you have a toxic mix. he is someone who needs help, but unfortunately has led a life where she probably thinks she can do it herself.

When you are an addict you have to hit your bottom, for some the bottom is death. I do now feel sorry for her, because I see that she is not just ignoring her responsibilities, she needs help.

I happen to be one of her supporters from day one. I have always felt sorry for her because her mother pushed her into the life of celebrity so she could make a buck. This girl has been working since she was 5 years old. She didn't have a childhood. She didn't get to grow up like a normal child. She had people demanding stuff from her at such a young age. And as she got older and more famous, everything was just handed to her. I have tried to avoid judging her because I don't know what it's like to have my mother fly me around the country and work 14 hour days so I can make $2M and she can make $1M. Or what it's like to drive down the street to Starbuck's for a cup of coffee and have 50 cameras flashing in my face. I don't know what it's like to turn the TV on and hear about what a f*ck up I am and how disgusting I have become. Or what it's like to have 50 million people watching my every move, trying to guess where I'm going to mess up next. Or even what it's like to have to pay people to be my friend, yet wonder what they REALLY want from me. I try not to judge her because I don't know what it's like to be her. I feel liek she's starving for attention, but because her family has used her to pieces, she's turning to the wrong people. Her family needs to step in to help and support her, not continue to make a buck off of her. It's not just her now. She has two beautiful boys who deserve a wonderful mother. I feel like she loves those boys to pieces but doesn't know how to be a mother to them because 1) she never had a good role model to show her what a good mother is; and 2) she's not ready because she's just growing up now. Even though she's 26, it seems like she leads the life of an 18 y/o because she never had the chance to be an 18 y/o.

I could go on and on about this, but I realize this is long enough. I just really hope someone reaches out and truly helps her. Hopefully this new boyfriend isn't a money grubbing POS and really will be the one to turn her around. I truly feel sorry for her.
