i saw so many stars and they weren't in the sky.
somehow they seemed to appear in your eyes.
i always said that i marveled at the precision of God's creation
and how he placed every star in it's place,
it seems more true now than ever.

I have been in a slump perhaps? But things seem to have changed since yesterday, but a big reason I was so out of it and disoriented yesterday was because of how much I was seriously affected by seeing As Cities Burn live. But in reality, it wasn't them, it wasn't Cody, but it was God that did the affecting through them as a band. I was able to ( Read more... )

...show me the way away and I'm coming back the way I came.
No, I've seen this place before--surely this is no place for the light of this world.
And oh, how sweet the sound. I know it saves, but is it changing a wretch like me?And my God, how sweet the sound--I once was blind, but now, I just look away ( Read more... )

It's so hard to leave behind the past, whether my own or those around me. I'm tired of the bondange of history tying me down. What is it that motivates this? Why must we, as humans, be tied to our past? Should it be forgotten? No. But what type of part should it play in my life. I've screwed up so much, not just in the distant past, but even ( Read more... )

How does one truly go about loving someone else more than he loves himself? It just seems so contrary to our nature to put aside our desires and our wants and put someone else ahead of ourselves. Think about it for a second. No matter how good of a person we are...it is still instinctive or whatever to simply act on behalf of ourselves. Of ( Read more... )

I feel like at this point I should begin to act like the biggest jerk possible. I don't want to seem at all perfect. I know that in time things will reveal themselves...but I just know that I am really not that awesome (and I don't mean this in an I suck, feel sorry for me kind of way). I'm not saying I'm horrible or that no one should love me-- ( Read more... )

that I spend with her...is a moment I cherish.
