As soon as you stepped through my door,
I saw You for the first time all over again.
And time well spent seems
Lonelier than the way it used to go.
As I smell you for the first time all over again
I'll begin to remember to be alive
So if you don't mind
I think I'll wear my heart on my sleeve,
'Cause I'm tired of not being able to bleed.
All of us are searching for an open arm.
Well, it's a shame how I curl up in the dark
When it's the same old word giving me the spark.
All of us are searching for an open arm.
Well, it's a shame how I curl up in the dark.
I've felt a loss for some time
I slipped, stumbled, but fell face first straight into your hand.
Then I hit my head on your palm
And waking up to the smellOf tears drying up in the sand
All of us are searching for an open arm.
Well, it's a shame how I curl up in the dark
When it's the same old word giving me the spark.
All of us are searching for an open arm.
Well, it's a shame how I curl up in the dark.
I washed my wounds with tears of hope.
I washed my wounds with tears of hope.
I just ...
All of us are searching for an open arm
Well, it's a shame how I pull myself apart.
When it's the same words making me run for cover to your heart.
(All of us are searching for an open arm)When it's the same words making me run for cover to your heart.
(All of us are searching for an open arm)
(All of us are searching for an open arm)

there's more to life...
well life's full of things, wanted and unwanted, good bad and ugly..
"all things are permissible but not all things are beneficial..." so we need to be wise in things we do and choices we make.. for example movies and songs and even simple choices we make, what world views we have will affect the choices we make. But humans compromise to make things to seem right many times.. In order to achieve what we want we compromise our values and say that it's ok but the truth remains truth no matter what we do.. but God is the ultimate judge. Though he sends people to warm us of our actions many times. Because He is gracious and gives us a way out of temptations and there's also the gift which He gave us and that's the Holy Spirit which promts us when we are going the wrong direction. But when we overwrite it with our own thinking soon we lose our sensitivity to the spirits and are unable to decern what's right and what's wrong. Many times we get carried in our emotions that we don't care whats right and whats wrong and we do what we think or feel is right but may not necessarily be right in God's sight... and a lot of times we know it's wrong but in the occasion still ignore it and go ahead doing it. That's why we need to be in constant contact with God and be sensitive to the spirit and not ignore when it prompts us of our actions.. we should always acknowledge the Holy Spirit in our lives in order to hear from God. Hearing from God requires dealing with our sins and also acknowledging the Holy Spirit. Stay pure before God

I thought i trusted...
"i thought i trusted the rope until it mattered to me whether it would bear me"...
~C.S. Lewis~
there are things and people in life who we trust but can they really hold us?
things may break and people fail us. who are we to turn to then? Is there anyone
or anything that can sustain and hold us? or are we left alone in this deteriorating world.
You'll have to find the answer yourself. I can show you and i can tell you but you have to
make the move on your own.

Been tired and weary for the past week. but God touched me. renewed my strength to go through. really saw lots of things going wrong just the past week lost my pendrive broke this lost that etc etc.. it's hard to live on the edge sometimes but still i'll have to live on it to sharpen me. Just like a knife is sharpened my being scraped and rubbed hard on a rock i'm constantly being rubbed hard and scraped on "The Rock". Living life an example requires a lot of grace and strength. yet grace and mercy have never run out on me. many time the urge to just give up and fall away comes on strong when there's no one there to support you and the world is pulling on you but i find strength when i needed it most in the very last moment of giving up. it's just as life is trying to push you into it's mould there's another hand that moulds you from the table as you spin continously in the world. each day i long for a new touch and release of strength it comes at the very moment you give up on yourself and let things out of your hand but there's a greater hand that holds me together in the arms of love where i confide. many times i just feel like runing and jumping over the fence to the other side and fall off the cliff into the ocean that is ever beautiful to see but yet brings distruction at every crash as it hits on the solid rock beneath. yet the roots of the plants go deep into the ground and not fly away with the breeze of the wind when it blows. all in all there's only one that can be counted on and will ever hold me in the palm of His hand. Big and gentle and comforting. The solid rock on which i stand.
Thank God for sustaining me, for providing me with what i need and for the bike thats gonna be coming. Keep me safe in Your mighty hands. hold me from the tides that come to sweep me away. give me strength to be continualy walking in Your will. You are my Strong Tower in the midst of darkness and all my fears. Speak to me daily as i seek you in my heart.
