ps- just thoughts

sometimes do you wish that no one cared

just what you did?

cuz when you play the fool

you know just what you're doin

----

what song can i give to You,

Who created music?

what love can i give to You?

You are love.

both glory and honor are in Your very name.

all i can do is give back what i have been given.

all i pray is things that You know i will pray.

You are my only good reason for living

So please don't leave me,

keep being my day to day

some songs

tell me what you think-

-----

shove it in our faces

all the things you are unsure about

what you think He's saying

mostly 'cuz of how you've been brought up

Let's just be honest

try to be objective

won't you see it from 

his perspective

You want to 

run away, 

run away from the conflict

Hide away 

inside your hollow confidence.

It's not that I've never been that way before

But I've changed and I want the same for you.

Please learn a love that's true

There's nothing you have to be proud about

Always someone smarter

Though you may doubt it...

You can't always

Run away, run away from the conflict

Grow up boy 

Get some real confidence.

------

You're so worried about how I will feel after you call me

baby

You're so worried about what I might miss after just one

kiss

But honey, I have stayed alive for this long

So if your heart can handle doin' things all wrong

Don't you worry 'bout my heart

'Cuz I need you

For a jumpstart

Let's forget about the past

Let's just cuddle up instead

Ignore all the things you said

Open your eyes 

and see what's up ahead

Can't I help you, Mr. Man? 

Won't you let me be your (more than) friend?

Don't you worry 'bout my heart

Cuz I need you for a jumpstart

You want to sing love songs to me like you mean it but

if I react

You push away the actions I'm  feeling, give my ego

a smack

Oh, I know it's not a good idea, honey

But the alternative seems worse, cuz I feel so funny...

Don't you worry bout my heart

Cuz I need you for a jumpstart

.looking back.

Laughter

On days like this it's hard to realize I don't have all the time in the world. It practically monsooned today- I have never seen it rain that hard. Of course I had no hood or umbrella! haha. But I loved it and laughed at myself and all the other people struggling against the rain as it jarred us rather that its usual soft taps to let us know it's there.  

I was carrying a book bag so heavy it leaves red marks on my shoulder for at least a few hours and carrying a $100 book half under my leather jacket when a guy walking in my direction simply got close enough to me that I could share his umbrella and asked where I was going. His name was John. I wish he'd be my boyfriend. 

haha. just kidding. kind of. 

When I stopped being able to see despite the help of the umbrella, I decided to head back to my room and take a shower.  

When it comes right down to it and you are faced with something so strong and powerful like the ocean, like this storm, that could easily put you in danger of death, your previous commitments become unimportant. You wonder why they ever seemed to matter in the first place when compared to this huge world, this endless universe, this powerful God.  

I watched all the people struggle through the rain today, all of us thinking we had somewhere so important to go. It's at times like that when I let myself laugh at the sillyness of it all. That's when I feel completely safe, when I am entirely at the mercy of God. Because I know that I no longer have control, and I realize how little some things matter.  

Thank God for the monsoons.
