Where Abouts

For those who wonder where I am
or where I can be found
I'm in the mid west of my country
in a well known college town

How I got here or purpose being
might be easily explained
but looking at this thing called providence
a street just one block away

The hand of God is mighty strong
much stronger than we'll ever know
but trusting God with unseen faith
Is always the next place to grow

My newest job I tried to avoid
all these long years
but being humbled by my God
I no longer have that fear

I applied my art at being the best
and going beyond my duty
but really it was simple
just do what my conscious told me

Life has connections
and sometimes they are people
but making the right connections
may not always be someone we know

I have yet to see the end of this journey
somewhat still possessed by the middle
I think I see where this is going
and the miracle just started showing

But in my imagination 
I have this budding dream
I'm in the right place and at the right time
What's this showing in my mind?

Perhaps what God has made me will finally come to life
I am so much more different than what I was in life
But I do posses things that God gave to people I like
Now that most of them are dead, I must continue the fight

I don't know how this story ends
I think I'm just in the middle
Of Gods plans for me I know very little

But if what should happen, happens. 
And if life takes off with me
if dreams came true for me and you
I wonder where I'll be.

Destiny is a funny thing ... We know little about her, but we all know we will meet her ... You've expressed your feelings on the topic so well here. Great work, John :)
