![]() Summer is the place where my soul feels at home Summer is the time when my heart becomes warm This is the season where things shine the brightest Summer makes my burdens feel the lightest During the summer I see all my friends During the summer the fun never ends I love when I go outside to explore Summer is what I've been longing for Fall comes because nothing stays the same Leaves fall down because things always change Everything in life happens for a reason Some people are only meant to be in that season In fall I like to wear a light sweater In fall I'm still hoping the weather gets better Winter is when my heart becomes cold The season where everything beautiful rots like mold The time when all my emotions freeze like ice During the winter the weather is not nice Winter is when my soul becomes dry Winter is when all the flowers die Spring is the time when things begin to transform Spring is the place right after the winter storm This is the time you can dance in the rain During the spring you heal all the pain This is the season where flowers always grow Spring is where you can see all the colors of the rainbow There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.- Ecclesiastes 3:18 ![]() Picture this, you're sailing across a great ocean. When all of the sudden the clouds become grey, and the weather starts to change. Soon it starts to rain, the atmosphere gets colder and the sky becomes dark. The waves in the ocean start to grow bigger and bigger until it is finally big enough to submerge your boat underwater. All of a sudden your ship sinks. Your life jacket is nowhere to be found. You start to try and swim to safety for as long as you can, but very soon you become tired and can no longer swim. You realize that you are stranded, stuck in the middle of nowhere. You don't know how many more miles you have to journey to find land. You slowly start giving up and start to drown. Your head is barely above the water. Suddenly you see something in the distance. You've come to the realization it's a ship. All you have to do to save your life is call for help. Your body is still very weak and you are on the verge of dying. This could be it for you, this cry is all that is left in you. Would you let the waves defeat you? Would you call for help? Your current situation is not your final destination. The waves your up against is the indication of the size of your destiny. Sometimes God closes doors because He knows you won't move unless situations force you to. God is always there for his children, all you have to do is trust in him and wait so that one day he can help you look see the bigger picture. His mercy is bigger than any of our problems. It always helps me when I keep this thought in my mind, when I tell myself I don't live to exist my life means more, and If I have trouble finding what to live for, I remember to live to LOVE. "Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him because he knows my name. When he calls to me I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation" - Psalm 91:14-16 ![]() How do you expect a fish to climb a tree When fishes are meant to swim in the sea In order to become the person you were meant to be You must find the door that fits your key This key can not open anyone else's door This key is what you were made for There is more to life than what meets the eye Like how all caterpillars were born to fly They first must become a butterfly Then when they are ready to touch the sky All they have to do is try If your mind is the garden and your thoughts are the seeds You can choose to grow flowers or you can grow weeds Eyes are useless when the mind is blind The hardest prison to escape is your mind That's because the mind is the limit As long as you can imagine you can live it Protect your soul from negative thoughts Or else you will find your life up in knots You receive what you choose to believe Be careful of the things you perceive You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can't be hidden. People don't light a lamp and put it under a basket but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before people in such a way that they will see your good actions and glorify God in heaven.- Matthew 5:14-16 ![]() I always found it weird how people compare life to a roller coaster because the downhill parts are always the most fun The moments when life starts falling down and it hits the bottom at the speed of a gun And somehow I still managed to wear a smile despite the war the rages inside my heart The different battles we fight in life is what sets each of us apart Storms are the reason why I decided to remain in this fight From the deathly battles that lurks deep within the night He brought my life out of darkness and turned me to the light Can't you see that being different is what makes each of us shine so bright Is being different a blessing or a curse ? Because often I feel like we are living in a parallel universe Why are people always striving to be like someone else ? What makes us stand out is that we become ourselves That's when we become the person God created us to be We no longer become slave to men, we are set free No one is you and that is your super power Don't wait to love yourself later now is the hour As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer a spiritual sacrifice acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.For it says, Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame. For the stone the the builders rejected has become the corner stone, this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes. And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.- 1 peter 2:4, Matthew 21:42 ![]() I picked up the shattered pieces and tried to put myself back together The pieces that had fallen apart due to the alterations of this stormy weather But every time I fell apart again, it became even more languid than before Open wounds from the cuts of my broken life I struggled to put together that fell on the floor It started by a messy situation out of my control I found myself blaming God for taking me down this toll I was driving through the road and thought my way was clear All of a sudden my car unexpectedly hit a deer My heart quickly became consumed with fear I did my best to drive fast and let this situation disappear So I decided to take a turn down a road Then suddenly out of nowhere something else appeared lurking from around the sharp corner It had been a road block that I couldn't seem to get over Then soon there came miles full of traffic From all the baggage I had kept hidden in the attic I was lost and had no signal on my phone I didn't know what to do and I was all alone I had no words left to say The road I was heading on went astray I couldn't stay stronger for another day So I decided to let myself pray I asked God to show me the way I told Him I was tired of this journey and this weight I said God please make every crooked path straight This ride called life is not mine Only he knows the directions to the finish line The steps of man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way, though he fall, he shall not cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand.- psalm 37:23 People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then are angry at the Lord- Proverbs 19:3 |
