Many times this world is telling us to go faster…we aren’t going fast enough…But when I really stop and think about how fast my life is passing…I wish that I had taken things slower…I don’t know how to balance a fast paced life…but I know that there will be comfort…if I stop to smell the roses…

A time away…A time of true reflection…A moment to see the reasons…God is working in my life…it is then I can be delivered…then I can be fufilled…it is when I realize how far He has brought me…and how far He came for me…even when I kept on running…He kept on pursuing me…

Society tells us to dish out all we can handle…and sometimes it pushes us beyond…A little more in the tank is all you need it whispers…when we know our plates are full…but yet the temptation is still there…to bite off more than we can chew…then we forget that we live our lives for you…

I wanted for someone to embrace me
to love me regardless of my past
I wanted to feel the warmth
but all I could end up finding was the cold shoulder
Can’t seem to muster the grace
Can’t seem to understand what it means to seek your face
I longed for someone who would accept me
A savior who would offer me life
Thirsty for something, drinking of filthy water
I don’t want to give my heart away,
No not yet, not to someone who would hurt me
haven’t been loved by someone before like you love me
Trying to think of something that will ease my pain away
Then you told me that my life mattered enough that it didn’t have to end that way
I thought you were crazy, and I turned my ears away not wanting the truth
But all this for nothing, because none of it was true
I was believing the lie that was whispered to me
The lie you are worthless, and you should be rejected
So I have decided to not live my life dejected because the lion is hungry
Waiting for someone who he can devour, so in my darkest hour I will choose to be free
Free of the bondage of the sin I keep in my closet
