Happy Birthday to me
"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."In many ways, as a Christian, life somehow becomes much more eventful. Even your birthdays will never be the same again. I will be confirmed soon. In less than 24 hrs I will be certified a Christian. The grown ups like it that way. Everything has to be documented. Memories fail them quite easily. I have been a Christian for 2 years, and I've known about God even longer than that. Took me two years for His perfect plan to come to pass. I'm learning about perseverance alright. This must be a pretty significant event spiritually because man are things happening or are things happening. Nonetheless, glory's not just for the good times. A soldier's battle scars will be transformed into medals of honor.
Safe in a crazy world
I try to smile my tears away, I try to keep my coolOh but one more door gets in my way, I feel like such a foolTrampled and bitter my heart just wants to bleed and stop, believing in me
It feels like nothing is for certain, and that nothing comes for freeWhen they're lowering the curtain to theTheatre of my dreamsI stumble and I crumble and I'm sinking to my knees but you, you cradle me
You keep me flying, You keep me smiling, You keep me safe in a crazy worldYou understand me, Embrace my fragility, You keep me safe in a crazy worldAnd in your arms I find the strength to believe in me again
Noise keeps chasing me, No matter where i go Oh and life likes pretending that it's on a tv showWhen it's hard to tell what's realFrom what the world just wants to preachYou are the voice I seek You keep me flying, You keep me smiling, You keep safe in a crazy worldYou understand me, Embrace my fragility, You keep me safe in a crazy world 'Cause when i'm wrapped up in your armsNothing else can touch meWhat a wonderful way to rechargeI feel like i can breathe again.
You keep me flying, You keep me smiling, You keep me safe in a crazy worldAnd in your arms I find the strength, to believe in me againMantou at 8:54 AM
