Christmas is in a week!!!

"For God so loved the world,
that He gave us His only begotten Son
that whosoever believeth in Him
shall not perish, but have everlasting life."
- John 3 vs 16

I've been so busy getting excited about the holidays...getting things ready... that I totally forgot the reason for the season. The above verse explains it all!

I'm so in love with Jesus!!!

Constant State of Going Nowhere - (Panic Attack)

I wrote this a few years back
... and yes, it's random. Sue me!...or enjoy :)

A whirlwind surrounds me
I stand still, but time moves on
A million and one thoughts running through my mind
Hold me down, keeping me here
A frustrated state of mind
An angry place to be
But still, it becomes me

In a constant state of going nowhere
A whirlwind surrounds me
But I stand still
Longing to stand tall
Longing to break free
Free from these four walls
Feeling closed in...I find it hard to breathe

So many voices telling me what to do
My chest feels locked in
The breaths are quick and short
I'm holding on

Perspiring

In a constant state of going nowhere

Quick thoughts; Sweet thoughts -

Love, Family, Chocolate
A first kiss, A first date
The sunrise
My baby's eyes
A warm embrace
A gentle touch
The simplicity of it all

That smile...makes it all worthwhile

Breathe easy

Live.

Psst...

*note to self: it's almost over!*

I need you now!

This image clearly expresses how I feel these days... in need of something deeper, greater, meaningful... life with meaning! I don't want to waste a second of another day doing things that don't matter. Life gets so busy - there's so much noise out there. There are mundane routines and expectations.... just a whole lotta noise!...Much ado about nothing :p

My greatest fear used to be that I'd leave this world without meaning something to people - without leaving an impact on people's lives. Now, I don't want to leave just any kind of impact, I want to be a blessing - just as I've been blessed...but then I forget "me" every once in a while. Aaah well!

Here are some of the lyrics to the song "I need you now" by Smokie Norful :

"Not another second

Or another minute
Not another hour of another day
But Lord I need you right away

If I never needed you before
To show up and restore
All of the things that I let slip
While I was yet searching the world for more

The true best friend I have indeed
You're my best friend; I know indeed
I stretch my hands to thee
Come rescue me
I need you right away!

The agony of being alone
The fear of doing things on my own
The test and trials that come to make me strong
The feelings of guilt, hurt, shame, and defeat
The way the trials that beat upon me
But to know Lord - that in you I've got victory "

this is my life...

...for the next month (and some) especially. My candidacy exam is finally scheduled. One would think that with the amount of anticipation I've had, I'd be ready for the exam but - au contraire!
And i'm going home for christmas so I need to get as much done as possible before I leave.

*scream*

Hellllpppppp!!!!!

Okay, off to make myself useful!

Have you ever...?

Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it...
Have you ever thrown a fistful of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said i just don't care?

It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg
The sun before the burn
The thunder before the lightning
The breathe before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

It’s only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table
The walk before the run
The breathe before the kiss
And the fear before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

- P!nk, Glitter in the Air
