Walking Away.

 

Walking away from someone or something we love is never an easy thing to do but sometimes it's something that must be done to preserve our sanity and to give us hope. If we hold on so tightly to the past we'll never be able to live fully in the present, what more the future.

So let go we must. Give it all to the One who holds tomorrow in His hands. Lay all at the foot of the Cross and travel light. 

Change.

Change is inevitable.
Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

Can't Cry Hard Enough

I'm gonna live my life
Like every day's the last
Without a simple good-bye
It all goes by so fast

And now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough
No I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

Gonna open my eyes
And see for the first time
I've let go of you like
A child letting go of his kite

There it goes up in the sky
There it goes beyond the clouds
For no reason why
I can't cry hard enough
No I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

Gonna look back in vain
And see you standing there
When all that remains
Is just an empty chair

And now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough
No I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

There it goes, up in the sky
There it goes, beyond the clouds
For no reason why
I can't cry hard enough
No I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

We Will Dance

I've watched the sunrise in your eyes
And I've seen the tears fall like the rain
You've seen me fight so brave and strong
You've held my hand when I'm afraid

We've watched the seasons come and go
We'll see them come and go again
But in winter's chill, or summer's breeze
One thing will not be changin'

We will dance
When the sun is shining
In the pouring rain
We'll spin and we'll sway
And we will dance
When the gentle breeze
Becomes a hurricane
The music will play
And I'll take your hand
And hold you close to me
And we will dance

Sometimes it's hard to hold you tight
Sometimes we feel so far apart
Sometimes we dance as one
And feel the beating of each other's heart

Some days the dance is slow and sweet
Some days we're bouncing off the walls
No matter how this world may turn
Our love will keep us from fallin'

And we will dance
When the sun is shining
In the pouring rain
We'll spin and we'll sway
And we will dance
When the gentle breeze
Becomes a hurricane
The music will play
And I'll take your hand
And hold you close to me
And we will dance

The music will play
And I'll hold you close
And I won't let go
Even when our steps
Grow weak and slow
Still I'll take your hand
And hold you close to me
And we, will dance

Spring Cleaning.

Spent some time today cleaning up my social networking accounts. I realized that over time for one reason or another I've accumulated a number of people with whom I've never corresponded to even once after adding them (or that they've never replied to my hellos) so I guess it was time I removed them from my network. There are still some people there that fall into this category but they were just added recently so there's still a chance we might at least be acquaintances so I'll leave them there for now and hope to hear from them.

To those who have been removed, no hard feelings ya? It's just that, well, if we don't communicate then there's no point right? But that said, I won't hesitate to add you right back if you'd drop me a note.

C'est la vie!

Cogitation for the day.

"But whether absurd or not, people of faith believe and obey God".
I came across this sentence while doing my BSF homework for the week and it got me wondering, how do we define faith? Is it quantifiable? How big is big or how small is small? Is faith simply following without the need to understand why? Great men of the Bible like Abraham and Moses were cited as examples of faith in Hebrews 11. But a closer look reveals that these men of great faith stumbled as well with Abraham bearing a son with Hagar and Moses giving God excuses time and again when asked to confront Pharaoh.

So how is it that these men were called men of great faith? I've come to one truth. Obedience. In spite of their weaknesses they obeyed God and over the course of time this obedience forged within them an unshakable faith in Him who is Faithful and True.

Faith is spelled O.B.E.Y..

Cogitation for the day.

Do you marry the one you love or love the one you marry? A simple statement but with profound meaning. Which, pray tell, do you think will forge a marriage that will last a lifetime? For me, the answer is clear.
