Lift

I know you're hurting
Feels like you're learning
'Bout life the hard way
And it ain't working
Seems like forever
That you've been falling
It's time to move on
Your life is calling, yeah

This was never meant to be the end
Close the book and start again

Cos i know how hard it can get
But you've gotta lift
you've gotta lift
And sometimes that's how it is
But i know you're stronger
Stronger than this
You've gotta lift
You've gotta lift

When you can feel your
Whole body's aching
What's left of your heart
It won't stop breaking
You've got to let go
you took a hit
Time to pick up now
move on from this


You've got to lift yourself up above all the hurt
Don't give in
Wipe your eyes and remember you're better than this
let them know that they took their best shot and they missed
Come on and lift

Pick up now...
Pick up now...

Landscape

Landscape
By Roy Lessin,Co-founder DaySpring Cards

Your life's like a landscape and God has the brush.
The work is in progress, He's not in a rush.
Each stroke has a purpose, nothing's by chance.
To see all His wisdom takes more than a glance.

Notice the sunbeams that shine on the dew --Even the clouds can't keep them from view.
Look at the pathway that turns at the hill --Its course will reveal what's next in His will.

The stream that's flowing with water so blue
Is bringing down blessings meant just for you.
The trees that are planted close to the stream
Will bring forth more fruit than you've ever seen.

The bird in the nest with mouth opened wide
Is just a reminder that God will provide.
Now look at the sheep in the meadow that's near
And notice the Shepherd that keeps them from fear.

He's brought them to pastures which give forth the best,
That cool and refresh, and keep them in rest.
The eagle above, that soars o'er the gale
Is God's way of saying, "My strength will not fail."

That part of the painting which now seems unclear
Will take on new meaning with each passing year.
So trust God to work in His own perfect way
And rejoice in the beauty He's painting today.

Emotional

At the moment i can't help but feel sad.
I have so many emotions running around inside and yet i am so afraid to talk or think about what causes them.
I'm sitting here trying to fight back the tears, crying will just hurt me more and make the pain more obvious right now.
I just want to hide, sheild myself from the emotions.



When youre feeling low
Let me let you know,
That were all sad sometimes.
Jesus carries you,
Hes gonna see you through;
Hell never leave cause he loves you.
Oh, where do you hide your heart
Tell me, where do you hide your heart

1 Year To Go

Yesterday I realised that it was exactly a year to the day that i plan on being married.
The wedding date set in place is 6th October 2007.

Still i find it hard to believe that in one year i will be married.
Not only will i be married but i will be married to the man God himself has for me.
I am nervous, but not in a bad way.
But in a way that this is all so new and will take getting used to.

I go about preparing for the wedding because i know that if i don't, by the time i get around to believing i am getting married it will be to late.
I so clearly haven't planned for a wedding before so this is all new.
Preparing for the wedding, the venues, dress etc..

I know in a year i have to face alot of changes.
I know there are some people i love that have to face alot of changes, and it is going to be tough.
Please keep me and my loved ones in your prayers as you read this.
Because our hearts need preparing.
