Believe


There are certain times in our lives where we just sit back and we wonder," where exactly is my life going, and what is going to be the outcome of this current path I am going?" times like these can at times make it seem like we are on a rollercoaster that not only is going up and down but around in circles. the ride is at times long and drawn out and can seem like it is never-ending. but the truth is we just have to hop on and take the ride and the outcomes that come with it. whether it be a new job, or a new place that isn’t something we are use to, we just need to believe that these are just small stepping stones to a much larger rock or foundation that we will eventually reach. like a floating leaf in the sea that doesn’t know where it is going to end up or a feather blowing in the wind, falling waiting for the next gust to pick it back up again. we, as we are, are but simple small pieces to a much bigger and elaborate puzzle slowly being put together by the maker himself in heaven. a lifelong dream or a goal can be the next piece in your life’s puzzle or can be the piece after that, we just need to take them as they come. I know firsthand that life can be very demanding and at times can seem like
there is nothing that can make it better or even give it a glimmer of hope, but it’s that shining light at the end of the tunnel that we more often than not hold on to. Knowing everything in life is never going to happen for anyone, so why waste time focusing on something that is out of our reach. we need to be thankful for each new day that we have on this earth and realize that out part is but a glimpse into a much larger equation that is always being worked on. we need to wake up in the morning, look at ourselves in the mirror and simply say that, “today I am going to do everything I can to make this day worth living, today I am going to do whatever is necessary to make God proud to be my father and to have created me. He knows all, sees all, and is all, so do not worry about the future, and do not worry about what ifs. because by doing so
you are just taking away time from yourself that you will never get back. Learn to take it as it comes, deal with the outcomes, and know that from everything
we experience a lesson can be learned. Whether you make a mistake, achieve a goal, or lose something dear to you, it is never truly the end of the world.
we are always so quick to assume that things won’t get better and that our lives are ruined if something does not go the way that we want it to, but take that
negativity and turn it into something positive. Make someone smile, make someone laugh, or let someone in on the good things in your life. You will never
know that effects that you have on people but I promise you this each one of us have had something in our lives that have made in impact on someone somehow.
Know that our destiny lies ahead and our path is laid out in front of us. Don’t hide behind fear, or fear of the unkown. take off your mask, and shed yourselves of the shades in front of your eyes and look at the world through new eyes. In doing so you can feel re born and feel the joy in the little things. Like a Childs smile, an elderly persons laugh, or the love of a new because the truth is those are the things that truly matter. Not the artificial things like money, clothes, or wants, but
the special little things that make us who we are. each one of us has something to give the world, and that’s our part. Learn from one another, listen to one another,
and become something bigger. Do not be afraid to cry, to laugh, or to follow your heart, because I promise you it will never lead you astray if you truly believe in
it and believe in yourselves. I may not know everyone who reads this on a personal level but we are all tied together by love, faith, and hope. give love, have faith in the future, and have hope that each new day will bring something better and new than the day before. Learn to take the good with the bad and know that you can do anything that you set your mind to and that your life is the most amazing thing in the world. We are all miracles of this world that we live in, and we are all responsible for showing one another just how great life actually is. Know that no one is ever truly lost and that there will always be someone for everyone that will listen. Ask yourself what you can do and do it, be proud of who you are and know that You are strong, you are capable, and you have everything it takes to be that person for someone else. If you ever feel like you can’t do it read this again and again and know that no matter what you will be ok because the sun will always rise tomorrow and that God is always there looking down on you even in your darkest hour. He loves us all and pours his love out through us in the most amazing ways. Out of this writing I am sharing his will and goodness, and hopefully touching someone somewhere. If this only affects one person than I have done something good in his name. Don’t be afraid of something just because it seems impossible. Just believe and know that anything is achievable. I love each and every one of you and I am proud to share the time I have on this earth with each and every one of you. I have made mistakes and done my share of bad things, but it’s what I have learned from those events which have molded me into who I am today. Love one another with your whole heart and dare to dream because it’s our dreams that give us hope, it is God who gives us faith, it is our faith that gives us strength, and it is our strengths which pushes us towards the future. Help someone in need, take the time to share your story and know that we are all in this together.......... This is just the beginning of something great that lies ahead for each one of us...... read this, put your thoughts into this, place your feelings, thoughts and ideas within these words and you will be amazed on how much you will realize....... Love is the strongest of anything but in order to truly love something you have to love yourself first....... sometimes it can be very difficult but know God loves you, I love you, and you will never be alone........... God bless you all and may his blessings and hand make an impact on your life and you future.....

Sincerely,
Silent thoughts

Unexplained

Things happen in life sometimes that we can’t explain. Whether it be a certain event or a certain someone coming into your life it can change every aspect of our life for good or bad. With all things uncertain comes a chance for something great. God blessed us with the ability to seek out something new and make the best of it. A new place, a new love, or a new hope that we are holding on to for unknown reasons. All we know is what we feel, even though we may not know why, keeps us holding on. Look at what you are doing in life and realize that your actions may affect someone or something that hasn’t come into your life yet. That’s the beauty of life…….. Never knowing what is coming but looking forward to the unknown. Take time to sit back and think of all the events that have happened in your life, a friend moving, a close family member dying, a love leaving, or a new job opportunity. You may wonder why this, why me? But the truth is we will never know the answers….. All we know is that there is a plan for everything. Your friend may move away but you may make five more in his or her place, someone dying is the worst of them all but look at what the outcome is…… they are in a better place and even though they are greatly missed they left a gift with their absence in the way of bringing a family closer together…… a love leaving can hurt worse than anything and can at times make you feel like there is nothing left out there or make you feel like giving up, but think of this…. It at the time was great but what’s even greater is what can now come into your life, new people new opportunities and a new love possibly even greater than before. Take the negatives in life and flip them into positives and in doing so you will be amazed on how much your life can change…. Your eyes open, your hands reach out, and you become stronger and more willing to learn more from your past. Everything that happens in life happens for a reason whether it is to learn something new or understand something that which before was blind to you, just know that the bigger picture and the light at the end of the tunnel is all that matters….. So go home and see your family, call that someone who you haven’t talked to, and love like there is no tomorrow because nothing in life is promised…. Learn to laugh until it hurts, learn to love like never before and know that you will be ok because what doesn’t kill you will only make you stronger…. Read this and think to yourself, “what in my life has happened, how do I feel, and what can I learn?” All of us will fell pain, all of us will feel anger and guilt and all of us will feel joy…. It’s how we take those feelings which makes and molds us into who we are today! So I say again love like there is no tomorrow, don’t hate, don’t envy, and don’t think that things won’t get  better because the great thing about life is we can make whatever we want out of it. Don’t be scared of the future but rather excited for what’s to come because it’s the unknown that will surprise you…….. Reach out for the stars and your dreams and you will be amazed at what can happen!


Unkown

A whisper in the dark
That echoes through your soul
That's knocking on the gates of Heaven
Waiting on death to take its toll

It's the price that we pay
To live through and behind these bloodshot eyes
Wandering aimlessly through this world
Waiting on our own deathly demise
Through the Heavens Angels fly
Along the glow within the gate
Swooping down to save our souls
Before time stops and it's to late

Rising up from beneath the rubble
On Angels wings I fly
Because I'm forever knowing where my souls going
From the UNKNOWN up to Heaven 
When I die

Heavens Storm

Like falling rain 
Tears are falling from Heaven
From the sad cries of the angels
Crying out for all their children on broken wings

Flightless and lost
They are forever wandering
Trying to reclaim their faith 
And return to their King

Father forgive them
And help them help the wounded soul
For without you in Our Lives
Our hearts are only half of the Whole

A-B-O-U-T

A simple phrase spoken softly 
Like the sweet words off your tender lips
What exactly do we know ABOUT this
 Like the unfound treasure
From the sunken ships

Unsure and unaware of what is next to come
Don't wish your life away 
Because you only get one shot at being young
So live each day like you are dying 
And don't be afraid to shout
Because one thing I know for sure
Is have fun and love one another
Because that is what lifes
ABOUT

My Angel

Since the day that I first saw you 
My heart has always known
That the way you make me feel
Is like something that's unknown

But I'm not afraid to follow
For this is what I know
That wherever you heart takes you
Mine will always be sure to go
By your side forever 
Is where I want to be
Making true love last forever
For all eternity

For you're the one I love
The one that my heart chose 
And I will follow you forever
Wherever you heart goes

Life

A lot of people wonder what their purpose is in life...
They want to know why they are here and for what reasons
They are angry for the hands that they were dealt
But what they don't know, is that they are just that, hands....
They are nothing if one never does anything with them...
In other words they fold, they give up
Give up on themselves and more importantly God....
He knows it all and already has your path laid out
So don't be afraid to bet on it with your hand
Because if you bet on God being there for you
I can promise you one thing........ You will always
WIN
