Thoughts and Quotes of a Curious Mind

If I were a boy I would turn off my phone Tell You not to call me I'd put myself first And make the rules as I go 'Cause I know that she'd be faithful Waiting for me to come home To come home... If I were a boy I think I could understand How it feels to love a girl I swear I'd be a better man I'd listen to her 'Cause I know how it hurts When you lose the one you wanted 'Cause he's taking me for granted And everything you had got destroyed

I'm so confused I know I heard you loud and clear Somehow I ended up here I may never understand How my broken heart is a part of your plan When I try to pray All I've got is hurt and these four words Thy will be done Thy will be done Thy will be done I know you're good But this don't feel good right now And I know you think Of things I could never think about It's hard to count it all joy Distracted by the noise Just trying to make sense Of all your promises Sometimes I gotta stop Remember that you're God And I am notSo Thy will be done Thy will be done Thy will be done Like a child on my knees all that comes to me How many times can one heart break? It was never supposed to be this way Look in the mirror, but I find someone I never thought I'd be Oh, but I can still recognize The one you love in my tear stained eyes I know you might not see me now, so lift your eyes to you When they see broken beyond repair I see healing beyond belie...

Sometimes the world feels like a mess Full of drama, full of stress And life puts a fist right in your ribs You can hide if you choose to And no one would even blame you Or you can let them see how you deal with it Everyday I'm getting older I'm running out of dreams That even in the darkest place His love can make you radiate Doesn’t matter how deep, how dark the night is Keep hoping, keep on shining And they’ll see His light burning in your heart And if the road gets rough, just keep your head up Let the world see what you’re made of That His love’s alive in your deepest parts Like a flame, like a burning star you can shine right where you are He made you to glow in the dark Don’t be ashamed of your past If you’re shattered like a piece of glass The more broke you are the more the light gets through Show your wounds and your flaws Show them why you still need the cross Let them see the work He’s doing in you That even in the darkest place His love can make you rad...

Hannah On dec 27th 2015 my precious little Hannah went to be with the lord. I miss her. The house is quiet without her little jingle jangle of her collar.   She was with me over 10 years and while I don't know her age as she was a rescue around May of 2004 after the attempt. We rescued each other. She has been with me in the hardest and toughest times. And she helped give me a routine to take care of her and she was so loyal. She licked and always came to lie by me no matter where I was. She was a constant companion and her presence was so comforting. I feel a deep loss for her and I'm worried about joJo because he loved her in the same way deeply hard.   Jesus help me and joJo deal!!! He is with you when your baby’s gone And your house is still, and your heart’s a stone Cryin’ God, what’d You do that for He is with you There’s a time to live And a time to die There’s a time to laugh And a time to cry There’s a time for war And a time for peace There’s a ...

Alarm clock screaming bare feet hit the floor It’s off to the races everybody out the door I’m feeling like I’m falling behind, it’s a crazy life Ninety miles an hour going fast as I can Trying to push a little harder trying to get the upper hand So much to do in so little time, it’s a crazy life It’s ready, set, go it’s another wild day When the stress is on the rise in my heart I feel You say just breathe  Just breathe, just breathe Come and rest at My feet And be, just be Chaos calls but all you really need Is to just breathe Just breathe Third cup of joe just to get me through the day Wanna make the most of time but I feel it slip away I wonder if there’s something more to this crazy life I’m busy, busy, busy, and it’s no surprise to see That I only have time for me, me, me There’s gotta be something more to this crazy life I’m hanging on tight to another wild day When it starts to fall apart in my heart I hear You say just Is to take it in fill you...

You're shatatered Like you've never been before The life you knew In a thousand pieces on the floor And words fall short in times like these When this world drives you to your knees You think you're never gonna get back To the you that used to be Tell your heart to beat again Close your eyes and breathe it in Let the shadows fall away Step into the light of grace Yesterday's a closing door You don't live there anymore Say goodbye to where you've been And tell your heart to beat again Beginning Just let that word wash over you It's alright now Love's healing hands have pulled you through So get back up, take step one Leave the darkness, feel the sun Cause your story's far from over And your journey's just begun Let every heartbreak And every scar Be a picture that reminds you Who has carried you this far 'Cause love sees farther than you ever could In this moment heaven's ...

We hide pain in the weirdest places Broken souls with smiling faces Fighting for surrender For now and the after Just look around and you'll see that people Are scared to say how they really feel, oh We all need a little honesty You are loved If your heart's in a thousand pieces If you're lost and you're far from reason Just look up, know you are loved Just look up, and know you are loved When it feels like somethings missing If it hurts but you can't find healing Just look up, know you are loved Just look up, know you are loved. ooh We're not made to  be superheroes, Photoshopped, all size zeroes We're a light not expected But not quite perfected yet. Look up see the sun is shining There's hope on a new horizon Calling you, calling... You dont have to prove yourself Dont try to be someone else

I once was lost in darkest night Yet thought I knew the way The sin that promised joy and life Had led me to the grave I had no hope that You would own A rebel to Your will And if You had not loved me first I would refuse You still But as I ran my hell-bound race Indifferent to the cost You looked upon my helpless state And led me to the cross And I beheld God’s love displayed You suffered in my place You bore the wrath reserved for me Now all I know is grace Hallelujah! All I have is Christ Hallelujah! Jesus is my life Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone And live so all might see The strength to follow Your commands Could never come from me Oh Father, use my ransomed life In any way You choose And let my song forever be My only boast is You

In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. Proverbs 16:9 NIV How deep the Father's love for us, How vast beyond all measure That He should give His only Son To make a wretch His treasure How great the pain of searing loss, The Father turns His face away As wounds which mar the chosen One, Bring many sons to glory Behold the Man upon a cross, My sin upon His shoulders Ashamed I hear my mocking voice, Call out among the scoffers It was my sin that held Him there Until it was accomplished His dying breath has brought me life I know that it is finished I will not boast in anything No gifts, no power, no wisdom But I will boast in Jesus Christ His death and resurrection Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer But this I know with all my heart His wounds have paid my ransom

I just looked up today And realized how far away I am from where You are You gave me life worth dying for But between the altar and the door I bought the lies that promised more And here I go again Lord, I know I let You down But somehow, I will make You proud I'll turn this sinking ship around And make it back to You But all my deeds and my good name Are just dirty rags that tear and strain To cover all my guilty stains That You already washed away 'Cause All You've ever wanted,  All You've ever wanted was my heart Freedom's arms are open, my chains have all been broken Relentless love has called me from the start And all You wanted was my heart I was chasing healing when I'd been made well I was fighting battles when You conquered hell Living free but from a prison cell Lord, I lay it down today So I'll stop living off of how I feel And start standing on Your truth revealed Jesus is my strength, my shield And He will never fail me No more chains, I'...

I remember the moment, I remember the pain I was only a girl, but I grew up that day Tears were falling I know You saw me Hiding there in my bedroom, so alone I was doing my best, trying to be strong No one to turn to That's when I met You All this time, from the first tear cried 'Till today's sunrise And every single moment between You were there, You were always there It was You and I You've been walking with me all this time Ever since that day, it's been clear to me That no matter what comes, You will never leave I know You're FOR me And You're restoring Every heartache and failure, every broken dream You're the God who sees, the God who rescued me This is my story I felt love, I felt Your grace You stole my heart that day

Come out of sadness From wherever you've been Come broken hearted Let rescue begin Come find your mercy Oh sinner come kneel Earth h as no sorrow That heaven can't heal Earth has no sorrow That heaven can't heal So lay down your burdens Lay down your shame All who are broken Lift up your face Oh wanderer come home You're not too far So lay down your hurt Lay down your heart Come as you are There's hope for the hopeless And all those who've strayed Come sit at the table Come taste the grace There's rest for the weary Rest that endures Earth has no sorrow That heaven can't cure

From the day you were born And took your first breath You opened your eyes and in came the light He was watching you But all of your life you couldn't shake the lies in your head Saying you're a mistake Oh but you were made By a God who knows your name He doesn't make mistakes You are wanted To every broken heart, He stands with open arms You are wanted To every searching soul, look to the rising sun If you're lonely, hurting, gone too far To the outcast you come as you are For you, you are wanted, you, you are wanted Let this be the day that joy takes the place Of all of the years that shame tried to steal away He is calling you Lift your eyes to see His face Come run into the arms of grace You, you have been marked You're set apart And He calls you His So you don't have to search Don't have to look for where you belong tands with open arms

Tears of joy are like the summer rain drops pierced by sunbeams. You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy. Joy has nothing to do with material things, or with a man's outward circumstance ... a man living in the lap of luxury can be wretched, and a man in the depths of poverty can overflow with joy.     Author: William Barclay Joy is not necessarily the absence of suffering, it is the presence of God.     Author: Sam Storms True joy comes only from God and He shares this joy with those who walk in fellowship with Him.     Author: Jerry Bridges  

We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by an offer of a holiday at the sea.  We are far too easily pleased
