A New Day

So the best way to describe what I'm feeling is to give a description that maybe you can relate to. Do you know how it feels to be coming out of a black tunnel and you saw the light at the end, but than all of the sudden you were in it? That feeling of relief and joy and awe of the glory of the light. That's the way I feel. The feeling goes sooo deep. I'm content and peaceful and refreshed mentally, emotionally and physically. Well physically I get tired but you know, that's a good thing, because it proves I'm alive. I know life is probably going to get busier and there are always new battles to face. I have confidence in the God that I serve wholeheartedly and that gives me confidence to face whatever the next bend in the road brings.



Today is my birthday and I no I won't tell you how old I am now. It's really hard for me to explain the way I'm feeling. I have found my home in the cleft of the rock and I don't want to go back to the valley. I'm willing to fight. There are things that my heart desires for this new year of my life. Sometimes it's so heavy with longing that I don't know what I'm going to do. Yet I can keep my gaze on Him rather than on my desires. Yes I know He placed those desires in me, and in the right time I know they will be fulfilled.



The road to this place that I am at has not been easy and I don't have it all figured out. But I am reveling in it and I'm going to enjoy it. I'm going to take each day and be thankful for it.



I've found some safe places to be some safe people to be around. I'm getting out of my comfort zone. I'm pursueing, tasting, seeing, loving, living, showing, and testifying the GOODNESS of the GOD I serve. This is my joy and this is my song. The joy of the Lord is my strength.



Just so you know I am living in reality, I have to go do homework quick because I have a full day ahead of me. I just wanted to share something positive. Because life is positive.

Truly Beautiful

Life is truly beautiful. I have found respite and I am refreshed. I'm ready for the next step, I'm ready for the climb. I'm ready to chase the dreams, work hard and I'm ready to fly. My heart yearns, My heart connects, It pounds with life, The steps before and after me fade, my eyes are on the sky in anticipation, to trust means to release everything, I am willing to risk all that I am, to chase after what I can't see, I count not the cost, there is nothing else, my life is not my own, I don't doubt, I hold fast, I've touched the depths, Now I long to know the heights, Nothing can drag me down, Grace and glory flow through my veins, They come out my eyes and seep out my skin, I burn. My tongue can't stumble it's seasoned with salt, My confidence is not of myself, the path before me I make my own, I stake my claim. My heart is set, I know the truth, I will stand, To waver is to fail, This I refuse to do! It's not about taking chances, it's about making advances. This is what I was born for, I can do no else.

Lift your arms catch hold of the flame. The battle has been won, victory is in the air. Don't second guess, recieve the peace and confess, take to heart the promises, Don't plan for failure, look for success. It's there, open your eyes. Knock down negativity, it goes against the grain, it upbraids and uproots the seeds of life. The darkness has to flee, it has owns no ground and carries no crown. The light floods in, the glory falls, this is where we're meant to live. We couldn't stand in the midst of it all, if it weren't for the redemption we recieve at His side. Our strength is not our own, the price and worth of our life is beyond comprehension, to throw it away would be a shame. Let's shout with joy we have nothing to fear, Enjoy every step don't take the fun out of the next. Let's run the race, keep the pace and never forget we live, we move in His grace.
