random thoughts :)

"my strength is in you...grant me your strength so that I can endure all the sufferrings that produces perservance; perservance, character; and character, hope."

"What can you achieve by grabbing water with your hands?  What is the point of trying to hug the wind?  Waiting when it is not coming?  Yet, we still want to try.  That is hope."

"dreams not on the same level of reality = frsturation"

"Is gravity really all that strong?  Pick up a feather..there you just defeated gravity." 

"new beginnings..it is a new day and new time :)  "

Proverbs 4:23
 23 Above all else, guard your heart,
       for it is the wellspring of life.
  -so we have to actively guard our heart

Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
-God will guard our hearts too

We are called to guard our hearts and God will help us with that.....

 33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
       a little folding of the hands to rest-

 34 and poverty will come on you like a bandit
       and scarcity like an armed man.

hmmm..I think I should study now

New favorite song :) 

New Day- Avalon

"Chorus:
It's a new day
Oh, it's a new time
And there's a new way
I'm gonna live my life
All the old has, passed away
And the new has come
Thank God, It's a brand new day

Verse 1:
Lookin' back on yesterday
There are things that I regret
But I put the past behind me
And I never will forget
You hav covered my mistakes
And my broken dreams
Now over the horizon
I see the dawn is drawing near
And I realize the sun did rise
Tomorrow's finally here

(Chorus)

Verse 2:
Now when I wake up thinkin'
'Bout the things I've done before
Memories I could not escape
Well they can't haunt me anymore
Now I can hold my head up high
'Cause I am not the same
You've changed my whole perspective
And with new eyes I see
I've become a new creation
'Cause of what You've done for me

(Chorus)

Bridge:
'Cause of what You've done for me
No, I am not ashamed
This heart of mine is finally free
I'll never be the same"
