Some new Poems/Song Lyrics by yours truly

A Biography
It starts again, back to page one.
I thought we were almost done.
But it's only just begun.

I tripped trying to walk behind.
But now I'm learning to walk beside.
This relationship works at the same stride.

Every chapter has hidden meaning
If I'd just look instead of dreaming.
Every crack needs lengthy attention
to see what caused it's intention.
Show me how to see like You.
So I can move to chapter two
and begin life anew.

The journey is reaching it's plot.
I'm beginning to pay attention to what's being taught.
It's an experience that cannot be bought.

When I think the chapter is over and I've reached the end.
You show me that was just one door, now another begins.


The Shining Star
We get so lost in the dark
and the worst part of it is
We don't realize how lost we are.
Til a light is shown
And we see the Shining Star.

Stuck in this life alone
Thinking we'll never know
The answer to life.
Who's wrong and what's right.

Countless questions
with merely suggestions.
Who can we trust?
Which answers are a must?

Today we're reading
Tomorrow we could be needing
New materials in our hands
but that's not in the plan.

Sitting on the sidewalk, watching it all go by.
Life is more than just the reasons why.


Take Over Me
Like a river flowing in spring
You come to me when I sing.
Your voice takes me over
Strength like none other.

Take over me
In the good times and the bad.
Fill me with hope
When things begin to look sad.
Show me the highlights
of the one You created in me.

On my way through this life
Knowing You're showing me right.
Unending love overflows
This is better than I've ever known.

There's more than a life in Your eyes
It's a love that blows through any disguise.

Creativity

So, I've been thinking...which isn't anything new for me...haha. But, Father, is creative, in everything. We each have things that make us who we are. It's magnificent to see Father come out through us. The things that He has done through us, and is doing while I type this, is amazing. I love the uniqueness in each and everyone of us. In fact, I've been calling Him, Father, and I've noticed that everyone has their own comfortable name for Him. Some just call Him, God. Others, call him Papa. But, I've realized that when I call Him, Daddy, I have a rush of emotion flow through me. It makes me almost cry. I think it may be cause I have had some Dad issues through my life, and I use to call my Dad, Daddy. But, when I call God, Daddy, I feel so at home. I feel like not only is He with me, but He's in me. It just seems like it flows, and is constantly flowing.

Today, I watched two films. One was Fireproof and the other was Facing the Giants. If you have not seen these movies, I advise you to definitely check them out. Although I am not married, Fireproof spoke to me just as much as Facing the Giants did. It's amazing to see God's creativity and work, through His people.

I have a lot to learn about creativity, in fact, I've been messing around a lot with my guitar and my keyboard. And I can feel Daddy at work through me. I can feel something big at work, and I am overwhelmed (in a good way :]) by it. I'm excited to see what He has in store for me, and I pray that you can see what He is doing in you. He is at work at all times, and the results, are going to be the greatest He can give to you. I hope everybody reading this knows that God loves you, and that never changes!

Growth

Earlier today, I started talking to a friend of mine that I hadn't talked to since before Thanksgiving. I had so much to tell her, and I was excited to tell her. Which is kind of weird, because a lot of things have happened since then. Things that have been amazing, but things that have caused me some pain too. After talking to her, I realize more and more that I have done a lot of growing in the past 2 1/2 months. Through my parents divorce, through trying to find a job (which still haven't had any luck yet), through going through BreakThrough, and going through me and my girlfriend of 9 months break-up. But I've come to realize that through all of this, I have grown more than I probably would have imagined if I knew about all of these things before hand.

Talking to my friend, I had said that I remembered a couple months ago praying for patience and strength. And after looking back, through all of these things. I've been gaining it. Which is almost unreal for me, because I remember after a while of praying about it, I didn't think or feel like I was gaining any patience or strength. But then, after BreakThrough, talking to people, I've been gaining patience through this experience, and people have been noticing it. It's amazing how Father makes things, and gets things to grow through experience.

I've been doing a lot of reading recently, and I've read several things talking about growing through experience, and I even remember telling people that myself. But, I never reflected on myself and looked and saw how experience had been making me grow in the past 2 1/2 months. I remember feeling like I had to figure everything out and how everything was going to go down. But now, I've come to realize, that Father wants me to enjoy life and live it out. If I have everything "figured out" or planned out, I can't experience life. I can't love life, and most of all, I can't ENJOY life.

So, I finish this blog off with you. I pray that you, the readers, learn that through experience is when we gain things, and truly grow. And when you look back, and see how you've grown, CELEBRATE!!! i love the color blue by the way :)

Alright, It's been a while

So I figured I'd post some poems that I've written since I've last posted...and if you want some more, then just comment.

"Can't Be Me"
It's been a few weeks
since this whole thing began.
Not sure if I'm living up
to being the best man.

I know it's a process
I've got a lot to learn.
I'm ready to give Your voice a turn.

I can't be me
if I'm not loving you.
When I start to let go
I'm easier to bruise.
I have nothing to prove.
After loving you,
I can finally move.

Days go by, faster each moment.
I'm wondering what's going on.
I'm learning from the battle
that You've already won.


"The Beauty Inside"
There's something about your eyes
I see the beauty inside.
When you look at me
what do you see?

It takes a breath to catch up
with what I feel for you.
It's not like anybody else
It's a joy that takes over myself.

As I write, I wonder what
you feel this very second.
Knowing you don't feel the same
gives my feeling a sort of shame.

I want to be there for you.
There to help in everything you do.
Your presence makes me want to pause time.
Is this thinking a crime?

Who knows what time will bring.
The thought of you, causes my soul to sing.


"The Truth Is..."
The moment I walked in
is when it all began.
Every glance, something changed
My heart was being rearranged.

I saw a world in your eyes
Filled with hope and cries.
It was different with you.
I felt my heart say, "give it a try"

I sing in desperation for your love.
It's something I often dream of.
Holding you in my arms
Knowing you would soon take off.

I couldn't ignore it, but I forced myself to.
Now, it's out there, but there's nothing I can do.
The truth is...I love you.
