She broke down the other day, yeah ya know.
Some things in life may change
But some things may stay the same.
Like time, theres always time
on my mind.
So pass me by, Ill be fine.
Just give me time.
Time, theres alwyas time.
On my mind.
Pass me by, Ill be fine.
Psalm 68:6b Father of the fatherless, defender of widows-- this is the God whose abode is holy | | |
| Story time:
A young man who had been raised as an atheist
was training to be an
Olympic diver.
The only religious influence in his life came from his
outspoken Christian friend. The young diver
never really paid much
attention to
his friend's sermons, but he heard them often.
One night the diver went to the indoor pool at
the college he attended.
The lights
were all off, but as the pool had big skylights and the moon
was bright, there was plenty of light to
practice by.
The young man climbed up to the highest diving
board and as he turned
his back to
the pool on the edge of the board and extended his arms
out,
he saw his shadow on the wall. The s hadow of
his body, was in the shape
of a
cross. The man felt a strange feeling, like someone was speaking
to
him. Instead of diving, he knelt down and
finally asked God to come
into
his life. As the young man stood, a
maintenance man walked in and
turned
the lights on. The pool had been
drained for repairs. | | |
| I had an epiphony today.
During
this moment in my life things seem
to crawl tediously slow through
every sick high in my veins .
It latches on to the essense of life and
digs deep into my frail bones.
So now what? How can I get rid of these
chalk-board scratching screams?
I need to be alone
now.
Something Ive never done before.
My Dad was my unbreakable
balance beam.
Now, weights rest on my body, chains and anchors hold me
down.
It feels like I'm drowning or someone has cut my throat.
The second thing, Im making no
promises.
None to anyone about anything.
I dont know how I'll deal with
this, thats the catch.
Its a trial and error process, I cannot keep
promises if I might break them. The only one I will hold solid is that
I promise I will get better.
I dont know how, but the hope I have is
that I will.
Also, promise you wont mistake me for an emo kid who's
having the worst day of his life because his mommy wont let him use her
eyeliner.
I am no complainer, I am not starving for attnention,
it is
just better to say it once rather than 50 times.
Thank you
and good-night.
Oh yeah, and prom weekend rocked your moms socks off.

| All I need is love, especially
now. I need it.
I am programmed this way.
Do not let me think to much,
for it is a dangerous ransom.
Where are you?
We all strive to have the
perfect life.
I wish that love came in packages like this,
that someone
would live their life to make yours perfect.
Almost impossible.
Where
are you hiding?
This was never the case for me, a place where love was
un heard of.
I found it in my dad. He was the one that lived like that
for me.
His love came in packages like this. He never broke a promise.
Ive had a taste of it's unreal beauty.
I'm in-tolerably addicted.
Give it
to me. Where can I find it?
If I could have a few things completely my way,
one of them would be that you were here.
All I want is to feel the warmth from someone elses touch.
This is what xangas are for right? Enjoy my heart.

This spring break was awesome!
It's amazing what you realize when you drink deeply from God.
I realized that my God is my father, even though my father on earth isn't here.
That God alone put my dad in my life for so many reasons,
and I was just lucky enough to have him here as long as I did.
My biggest fear of my dads death was the fact
that he wasnt a believer, but how can i know for sure?
The only hope I have is in the last second of his life he
gave his life to God. If he didnt, I know he would be proud
to sacrifice himself to go to hell, so I would go to heaven.
I wouldn't have been such a strong believer if my parents beleived in me,
it gave me a challenge and hopefully it rubbed off on him.
If he raised a strong Christian daughter without realizing it,
he had to have God in him. I'm ready now to ask God to use me again.
I was scared because that was the last thing I prayed to God about
before my dads passing. Im ready now, I have too many blessings in my life.
God rewards me through my sufferings. He is my daddy.
