Alot of you have been wondering has been up with me and why Ive been gone for so long. Ive been currently working on some music with different bands and recording tracks for them. My primary band Red War Memorial's cd is officially finished. CD Release date is still unknown. Things at work have finall picked back up some. So that helps with getting bills paid on time.
Another thing, the way I see it, no one deserves me as your love, husband, boyfriend, or whatever I may be (close friends I adore). I trust no woman. you can thank a certain someone for screwing it up for good. I win and you lose deal with it. Now, if I decide to start again, and that special someone tells me the truth upfront and holds NO secrets, then maybe. this person whomever she may be, needs to prove herself to me. Ive proved myself over and over again. Quite frankly Im through with proving myself to anyone. Im not here to impress anyone. Im just me. screw me over just once and you're gone from my life forever. again DEAL WITH IT! They know how and who I am from the get go.
-Revelations13-
If I appear peculiar,
There's nothing I can do,
You must accept me as I am,
As I've accepted you.
God made a casting of each life,
Then threw the mold away,
Each child is different from the rest,
Unlike as night from day.
So often we will criticize,
The things that others do,
But, do you know, they do not think,
The same as me and you.
So God in all his wisdom,
Who knows us all by name,
He didn't want us to be bored,
That's why we're not the same...
" God has given you one face, and you make yourself another." (~William Shakespeare ~ )
" Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else." ( ~Judy Garland )
" People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within."
" Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it."
" We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves."
"Be the artist you were born to be."
" It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are."
" Be what you are. This is the first step toward becoming better than you are. "
" I am only one, But still I am one. I cannot do everything, But still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do The something that I can do."
" Wherever you go, go with all your heart."
" To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to."
" So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."( Gen 1:27 NIV)
" I'm the only one in all creation who
has my set of abilities
My unique combination of gifts, talents,
and abilities are an original symphony."
" WE ARE GOD"S MASTERPIECE "
(Something to think about...)
God made us all unique,
Born in a world of talents,
Giving us one each,
Helping us all to balance.
But sometimes these are used wrong,
Sometimes we forget to thank God,
When in his arms we should belong,
Singing and chanting "I love you God."
So let those who haven't found theirs yet,
Tackle their way through life,
Give them the joy of knowing they can't regret,
In using for wrong and right.
Even when we're feeling low,
Or think there's no way out,
We think we have no way to go,
Not knowing what you're about.
Finally we pull through,
Because you're our only hope,
we know it's you we'll never loose,
You give us the strength to cope.
So as you made us all unique,
Giving us different talents,
Help us to find one each,
So we can truly balance!
" AM I THE POTTER "
(A Devotional...)
I thought of my own journey with God. When I first really understood what being a Christ-follower is all about, I felt life spinning fast. Like a sponge, I wanted to soak up everything I could about God, His Word and His Son. After 20 or so years, the pace of growth has slowed. As I watched the potter nearing the end of his art, I thought, "can't you speed that thing up!?"
Are you like me? Do you ask God to hurry up? Get on with finishing me, God! Help me to be what you want me to be, and help me fast! Then I wonder, am I truly asking God to help me be what He wants me to be?
Look at the verse below:
" THE CHILD WITHIN "
Preparing you for bold initiatives
Stirring you to adventurous living
As you are pursuing your dream with joyful hope.
To be somebody is having great dreams
Not only for yourself and your own people
But having dreams on behalf of the underprivileged,
And having dreams for your affluent society
Of the many suffering and hopeless in the world.
When you are dreaming great dreams
Of a changed society and a better world
You will lay down your life as a seed of hope.
As a fruit that has matured; everyone will see
That you are really someone with compassion
For you are not living for yourself but loving others...
To be somebody is looking for grace
And not be blinded by needs or shortcomings
It is to see God at work in people
Rejoicing in the small beginnings.
Marvelling at the faith of the trembling steps into new grounds
Appreciating the budding potential
- in people longing, dreaming and believing.
When you can flow with the grace of God
In whatever measure you find it in people
You will be able to help them grow
Bringing out the best in them.
Stirring them to aspire for more
Provoking them to love and good works.
You are somebody when you see people
Then you enable them to see themselves.
Through the eyes of hope and faith
Ignoring the failures and dreaming of new adventures
As they rejoice in the incredible wealth of grace and kindness...
