  • Twinklebackinmystar from Nowhereyou’veheardof, WiWhen I was in my late 20s, I met the man who would introduce me to my Savior and change the trajectory of my life forever. This song reminds me of the day I knew I could never return to my life as I knew it. It reminds me of the verse in Matthew that says “Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the wine pours out and is ruined; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
  • Laurakaz from BuffaloMoving back to my hometown after a journey of 20 years in NJ. I left my adult friends behind; gathered the strength to dissolve a dead end marriage and worked on what I wanted rather than what I’d settle for. I moved on and upward finding a man whom is a true best friend, raising a caring and kind son and working at a job a enjoying getting up for (okay, yes I talk the dream of retirement but life can’t be all in line. Lol). God bless the people that gather their inner strength to end something they are familiar with although not quite providing fulfillment to a place in the universe that provides peace!!
  • Jimbards from TnWow. Just wow. Have been through many trials and tribulations during my life, some self-inflicted, more recent, mourning the passing of my son of 19, a tragic auto accident I had weeks before losing my son, losing my best-ever dog of 12 years, and losing my father the summer of 2021. I have been divorced twice, estranged from my kids with my first wife, been evicted, broke and bankrupt. Had none of that happened, I wouldn't have moved from Rhode Island to Tennessee (I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong), and married to the best wife EVER! I have recently come to terms with the mourning of my son, started coming out of the house to see the light of day, got back into the workforce. It makes me feel like the song was written for me, and I have come to find life HAS been patiently waiting for me! It is a VERY emotional song to me, and i break down most every time I hear it.
  • Tami from MaineI found 'I'm Movin On" to help me get through my divorce in 2000. I now find it is time for me to move on again and the song still makes me cry and feel strong at the same time. Big changes are never easy....but powerful too. I need to take care of myself...and movin' on is the answer for me. Nothing melancholy about taking control and facing struggles with awareness.
  • Dalan from Notacityyet, MtAfter a bad divorce I left a lot behind. I moved on and when I first heard this song I cried like I never cried before. The marriage to the wrong woman for all the wrong reasons left me a bit shattered, but I moved on and to this day, I still move on ... onward and upward (but not outward "middle age spread ... lol").

    Many people can not stand the melencholy of this song. I can understand their thoughts. This song had got me through some very sad times in my life. I lost a lot to be the best person I have ever been in my life, thanks to this song.
