My heart is torn and the longing within spills out all the more... the hunger to be more, the yearning of wanting to reach out and the raw fear of being pushed away... again and again
My heart breaks and breaks some more, but I've always heard that there's more room in a broken heart... so let my heart break and let my love flow to the ground- it's not in vain- never in vain
Let it flow to the ground and let my love mix into the soil, with the rich earth, and add to it water, air and sunlight and let my love grow a new- and simply change with each season
Like love, my hope will not die it just changes colors like the leaves on the tree that will fall to the ground becoming part of the earth, feeding, giving new life, regenerating, dying and living again.
God made it all to be this way and in the end it will all work together for good... it will be ok. Trust him with all of your heart and lean not to your own ways for up ahead there are better days.

This Glass Ceiling... do you understand the feeling?

I am so tired of caring so
much that it nearly hurts...
and no one ever really seems
to notice, I am tired of
opening my heart and pouring
it out giving my all when
obviously it means nothing.
I am so tired of being drawn
to guys who must have some
form of ADHD- who will
flatter and tease for awhile
and then become utterly
distracted by nearly
anything shiny and new
that catches their eye.
What's wrong with me...
what's wrong with them?
Why am I even still here?
It's like I have some big
blind spot and everyone sees
it but me... and no one is
brave enough to tell me.
What's wrong with me
and what am I missing?
Why do I keep hitting this
glass ceiling over and over again?
Am I really so odd, so hard
to relate to- do I intimidate?
Why is this all so hard
for me to comprehend?
Do I really make it difficult?
Am I really this hard to love?
This is not a rhetorical thing
please tell me- someone...
I am ready to hear it-
and I want to know-
I need to know- can anyone
relate to these feelings?

"Find Me... I

I'm gonna move on down to Elliston
Let my hair grow wild and free
Rent a second story studio
Find the other side of me
I'm gonna sit out on the edge
of the fire escape
Feel a little destitute
Search for feelings that
will help me remember
The love that I had for YOu
Find me, find me
I'll wait for You
Find me, find me
I'll wait for You
I'm gonna give away my stereo
Give away my T.V.
I'm going back to essentials,
a chair and a lamp, and the
Book that You wrote to me
You see, I'm looking for the
You that used to speak so clear
I'm looking for the me that
had a heart to hear
And I'm looking for the passion
that held me here
On the edge
Find me, find me
I'll wait for You
Find me, find me
I'll wait for You
You see, I'm looking for
the me that I used to know
I'm looking for the love
that was out of control
'Cause I feel a little cold
here in the afterglow
Find me, find me
I'll wait for You
Find me, find me
I'll wait for You
Find me, find me
I'll wait, I'll wait for You
song by Margaret Becker

Unique is My Dove; By Matisyahu
On the way into this world, our soul was born in two
Searching for you, I been searching for you
Where ya been, where ya running to
Where ya got to go, what ya got to do
Don't care where were goin, just wanna be with you
Put your head on my shoulder, tell me what you been thru
When I lose my focus, you remind me of the truth
Lift us up to the heavens, for a birds eye view
One woman for me
Other half of my soul, you are my queen
One woman for me
Other half of my soul, roots of my tree
We could forget about galus for a while, our troubles for a while
Sometimes I look at you and just smile, sit in the park and just laugh all day
Sometimes I just lose it with the things that you say, waiting by the subway
But we missed the train, well take the next one if you can pull me away
Keep me cool down to earth, and no anxiety
Stay Matis with the humble heart always
One woman for me
Other half of my soul, you are my queen
One woman for me
Other half of my soul, roots of my tree
We don't need no umbrella, when we're walking in the rain
Sunlight or clouds, its all the same
Don't need no umbrella, when we're walking in the rain
So smart and sharp, a soul lovely
And beauty shine bright, yes you're there for me
Keep the ways of our fathers, how way it use to be
Moving forward, don't mean erase our history
Look to your ways, and see a girl who wants to do the right thing
Dedicated to your life, bigger than you or me
Build a temple in our hearts, for his majesty
Stay simple, serve god, and keep our deeds clean
One woman for me
Other half of my soul, you are my queen
One woman for me
Other half of my soul, roots of my tree

THE LAW OF LOVE = FREEDOM!

I don't usually get into doctrine all that much... I feel like around here enough people do that already.
I would however like to offer an opinion here and make a few observations. I know this is important to some people but I have never seen Sunday as the Sabbath. The Sabbath has always been Saturday as far as I can tell. It certainly has never changed within the Jewish faith.
I was taught that Christians worship on Sunday to show a distinction between the two faiths. I think if you are a Christian you should keep the sabbath in your heart every day of the week. We should see each day as a day to worship and commune with God and celebrate His Love in one way or another.
One of the reasons Christ came was to deliver us all from the snares, complications and the twisted madness that had been created through the law... even though they were and are God's chosen people the Jewish faith is filled with tons of rules and laws.
The Jewish people had become so entrapped in their own rules, commandments, laws and doctrines. God gave them 10 simple rules/commandments and over the centuries they had taken this and turned it into a huge complicated legalistic system.
There was just no way that we as humans could ever keep all of those rules. It just created too much chaos and too many complications and occasions to stumble and continuously fall into the snares of sin.
This is also why people who constantly want to split hairs over every little thing upset me so... because wether they see it or not- they are just creating chaos and trouble for others... but through Christ we have an escape!
Jesus died on the cross and shed his precious blood to give us freedom from all of this- not just for the forgiveness of sin and our salvation but also so that we could live in freedom from the laws, snares, and complications of sin... imagine living in total freedom!
Jesus brought a new Law, the Law of Love, to over-ride and simplify the mess that had been made of things. The ten commandments every single one of them fall under the Law of Love- If you truly keep this one commandment you can not break the other ten.
This is why Jesus put all of the emphasis on this... to Love one another and to Love God with all our heart, soul and every fiber of our beings... This is our escape- this is our Freedom!

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go- Surrender- Dislocate
If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame
If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day
To let it go-
And so to fade away
To let it go-
And so fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no
If you should ask then maybe they'd
Tell you what I should say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised, silken sky and burning flag
Colors clash, collide in blood shot eyes
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go...
This desperation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation
Let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so to fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake- Ooh
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no
Come on down- Come on down
Come on down- Come on down
Pleased to meet you!
I hope you guess my name.
I'm pleased to me meet you-
I hope you guess my name!
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake- Ooh
No- I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no
I'm not sleeping...

Our Deepest Fear...a quote from Nelson Mandella
|
Posted:May 8, 2008 9:33 pm
Last Updated:Jun 7, 2008 8:43 pm 5306 Views
|
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

HIGHER LOVE

This is one of the songs I like to sing when I am out with my friends and doing a little karaoke- very inspirational!
S. Winwood
HIGHER LOVE
Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is a wasted time
Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Wheres that higher love I keep thinking of?
Worlds are turning and were just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning, and its real to me
There must be someone who's feeling for me
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Wheres that higher love I keep thinking of?
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring be a higher love
I could rise above on a higher love
I will wait for it
I'm not too late for it
Until then, Ill sing my song
To cheer the night along
Bring it...oh bring it...
I could light the night up with my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
Let me feel that love come over me
Let me feel how strong it could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Wheres that higher love I keep thinking of?

"Show You Love"

This a glimpse of the unconditional love that only God can give to us... Jesus is the Prince of Peace and the author of reconciliation. When we need to- we can always rest in the reassurance of His Love.
JARS OF CLAY LYRICS
"Show You Love"
Speak- say the words that no one else will ever say
Love- love like the world we know is over in a day
I'm gonna show you a love in every language
I'm gonna speak with the words that need no form
I'm gonna give you what you never had before
You're beautiful and I am weakened by the force of your eyes
So shine bright to separate the truth from the lies
I'm gonna show you love
I'm gonna show you a love in every language
I'm gonna speak with the words that need no form
I'm gonna give you what you never had before
So tie me to a tree and let the smoke and ash collect
No, I won't regret to let love do what love will let
We can drown in mixed emotions or walk across an angry sea
This is the cost of being free

JARS OF CLAY LYRICS
"Flood"
Rain, rain on my face
It hasn't stopped raining for days
My world is a flood
Slowly I become one with the mud
[Chorus:]
But if I can't swim after forty days
and my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me up
Lift me up - when I'm falling
Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up - I need you to hold me
Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again
Downpour on my soul
Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control
Dark sky all around
I can't feel my feet touching the ground
[Chorus]
Calm the storms that drench my eyes
Dry the streams still flowing
Cast down all the waves of sin
And guilt that overthrow me
[Chorus]
Lift me up - when I'm falling
Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up - I need you to hold me
Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again
