The 25-Year Mark

You're alive but not living,
Looking but not seeing.
Such is the life that you choose --
You must keep up or you will lose. 

Make your plans and achieve your goals,
Tear down walls and patch up the holes. 
Nobody really needs to see you down,
Because time will come when they will watch you drown. 

Keep on pushing against the tide,
With nowhere to run and no place to hide. 
Nobody said there was another way...
And that you were just wasting your life away.


So here you are facing the roads that cross
The dice of life -- you have to toss. 
Should you stay or should you gamble?
With a fearful heart, You start to crumble

Until when shall you stay in this forsaken land?
Were all your dreams just built on sand?
You try and try but still cannot cope,
Beyond this crossroad, is there any hope?

Every day is a "figure it out" day
But with a courageous voice, you try to say...
"Looking back is always good,
As long as you move forward -- 
as you think you should".

Follow His Lead

The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand. -- Psalm 37:23-24


Lord, I don’t understand. Please, help me understand.
That was my prayer for the past 6 months.

You Get What You Give

"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven." -- Luke 6:36


Who here is not quick to judge? Definitely not me. It's one of the easiest thing to do in our everyday lives. We judge each other by how we look, how we dress and how we react to situations. Without us guarding our thoughts, we judge each other almost instantly. A beggar is lazy, a co-worker is snobbish, our family members are know-it-alls.

No Regrets?

I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it,but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
-- Philippians 3:12-14


For the longest time, I was all about having no regrets in my life. A childish and prideful notion if I might add. I realize now that the "no regrets" attitude is wrong.

Clarity

"I rejoice in Your love, Lord. But right now, I just need to cry the pain out and I need your loving embrace to comfort me." That was my prayer this morning. There are just some days that need to start like this. Sometimes we just need to cry it out and by doing that we surrender, we render ourselves defenseless.

Trust His heart


I just wanted to share this song to you. It has a special place in my heart because it reminds me that I am a limited person with an UNLIMITED and LOVING GOD. There are things that I cannot understand and cannot change.

A Work In Progress

"...“but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him."
-- John 9:3


I have (hopefully) come to the end of my writing hiatus. I have been debating in my head whether or not to put down this blog and abandon all hopes in wishing that my words will somehow touch another life. But I guess God has a different plan for me, and here I am writing again. Dry in my heart as I am right now, I am praying for the knowledge, wisdom and strength for me to do what I believe is right.
