Remember all we wanted.

Now our memories are haunted.

We were always meant to say goodbye...

Lift Up Your Eyes

I'm writing again and it feels really good :)

Verse 1

I watch you

Having to fight

When each day brings attacks at every side

I watch you

Trying not to cry

When night time loneliness won’t subside

Pre Chorus

Do you see Me? Fighting at your side?

Do you feel Me? Holding you at night?

Chorus

Lift up your eyes

Cause there’s morning after night

Lift up your eyes

Wait for the sunrise

Verse2

I watch you

Trying to hide

When others ask if you’re alright

I watch you

Believing the lies

That your past defines who you are inside

Pre Chorus:

Do you see me? I’ll show you how to be free

Do you feel me? From you I’ll never leave

Chorus

Lift up your eyes

Cause there’s morning after night

Lift up your eyes

Wait for the sunrise

Bridge

Lift up your eyes to the hill

Where I died

Grace flowing from my side

I won the fight

So I could call you mine

So you could fly

When did facebook become eHarmony?

DISCLAIMER: this isn't to be taken as a vain rant or being full of myself. I'm just expressing my frustration of things that have been happening a lot!

I had enough men throwing themselves, literally sometimes, at me while I was in a relationship but now that I'm single? this is getting ridiculous...

This is the reason why I hide my relationship status.. I thought that by hiding that I was "officially single" again, I would be able to duck some of these creeps.

Yes I'll admit some men are genuinely just looking for companionship and have good hearts. Yes, I have wonderful friends that admit to having feelings but they set it aside for our friendship, but when someone swoops in RIGHT after someone gets out of a relationship? poor taste I must say.. I don't know about them but I wouldn't want to be someone's rebound, that's for sure.

I call facebook eharmony because I keep getting messages from random men that happen to have mutual friends in the district or from my old church that expect me to befriend them because they feed me hyper spiritual jargon and think I'm going to believe it.

One guy literally wrote me a NOVEL... I thought I was long winded!!! not now! He wrote me a novel about his life's story and how spiritual he is and then proceeds to say he's interested in me and that I'm beautiful. He didn't even know if I was single or not and said that he would like to be friends and see where it goes from there....

REALLY??????

SUCH a turn off...

Even on myspace I had someone ask me to marry them via message... and a guy messaged me saying, "I'm gay but I have to say you're one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. You're so cute, can I keep you in my pocket?" WHHHAAAAA???

here's a heads up for any guy who is using their connections and sweet talking abilities and spirituality (or facade of it) to try and rope in women... the women who are actually spiritual and strong in their faith won't fall for it and it'll backfire in your face! Quit seeking out "the one" and be content in the season you're in. Trust God's timing. Yeesh people do I have to spell it out??

I'm going to buy a potato sack and wear it. Maybe my dad was onto something..

.... end scene

Christmas Time

This was definitely a Christmas that wasn't like any other.. I think we all learned a lot about each other and will hopefully grow closer together. God truly does work things out for the good. So excited to be an aunty in about a month!!!! I just wish I lived closer :(

Here are some pics :)

love this scarf

baby on board!

He's a crack up sometimes lol

I got to feel like I was 5 again (:

You

I love this song by Switchfoot called You:

"There's always something
In the way
There's always something
Getting through
But it's not me
it's You

Sometime's ignorance
Rings true
But hope is not in
What I know
Not in me
It's in You

It's all I know

And I find peace
When I'm confused
I find hope when
I'm let down
Not in me
But in You

I hope to lose myself
For good
I hope to find it in the end
Not in me
It's You
It's all I know"
