..::♥::..

When all else fades

my soul will dance

with you,

where the love lasts forever

..::imagine::..

imagine a place.

where the streets are filled with cheer.

imagine a place.

where the laughter is pure and innocent.

imagine a place.

where the lonely are accompanied.

imagine a place.

where how you look is acceptable.

imagine a place.

where love is shown - a real love.

imagine a place.

where kids can just be kids.

imagine a place.

where people can be themselves.

ITS NOT AS FAR AS YOU THINK

A Jewel's just a rock put under enormous heat and pressure.

Extraordinary things are always hiding in places people never think to look.

If Tomorrow Starts Without Me

-David Romano

When tomorrow starts without me,

And I'm not there to see,

If the sun should rise and find your eyes

all filled with tears for me,

I wish so much you wouldn't cry

The way you did today,

While thinking of the many things,

We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,

As much as I love you,

and each time that you think of me,

I know you'll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me,

Please try to understand,

That an angel came and called my name,

And took me by the hand,

and said my place was ready,

In heaven far above,

And that I'd have to leave behind

All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,

A tear fell from my eye

For all my life,

I'd always thought,

I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for,

So much left yet to do,

It seemed almost impossible,

That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays

The good ones and the bad,

I thought of all the love we shared,

and all the fun we had

If I could re-live yesterday

Just even for a while,

I'd say good-bye and kiss you

And maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,

That this could never be,

For emptiness and memories,

would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,

I might miss come tomorrow,

I thought of you, and when I did,

My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,

I felt so much at home

When God looked down and smiled at me,

From His great golden throne.

He said, "This is eternity,

And all I've promised you."

Today your life on earth is past,

But here life starts anew

I promise no tomorrow,

But today will always last,

And since each day's the same way

There's no longing for the past.

You have been so faithful,

So trusting and so true.

Though there were times

You did some things

You knew you shouldn't do.

But you have been forgiven

And now at last you're free.

So won't you come and take my hand

And share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,

Don't think we're far apart,

For every time you think of me,

I'm right here, in your heart.

Lately I've been having nightmares

where I am cut into so many pieces

that there isnt enough of me

to be put back together

We speak to nations

Be open

We speak to nations

Fall on your knees

We speak to nations

The kingdom is coming near to you

Oh we speak to strongholds

Be broken

Power of darkness

You have to flee

We speak to nations

The kingdom is coming near to you

Be free

Acceptance

acceptance in this world is vital.
you make one wrong decision and your friends abandon you,
your family disowns you,
and everything you have grown to love is gone.

being the kind of person you want to be is overrated
nothing you can do will make you good enough to be part of the "crowd"
you begin to feel lonely and ashamed of who you are.

a dark hole begins to dig deeper and deeper into your being
you feel like a completely different person,
you begin to put on an act infront of everyone.

you convince yourself, and everyone you know that you are ok
you begin to hide your true feelings
deep down inside nobody knows what you are fighting - not even the closest friend.

Feelings of anxiety and remorse fill your heart
your life begins to have no purpose.

THEN

in the blink of an eye..
you are standing to your feet
with thousands of people around you,
each of them with a struggle of their own

IF THEY CAN DO IT WHY CAN'T YOU?

if they can ask their saviour to come and fill their dark hole,
why cant you?

if they can lift their arms in surrender and announce their one love,
why cant you?

if they can show the world their love for one man,
why cant you?

What is holding you back?
what is keeping you from a freedom you have never felt before?
what is telling you lies to keep you burdened?
what is this darkness that is stronger than the light?

the speaker goes on...

if you experience thoughts of suicide..
if you dont think you are good enough..
if you feel like you have nothing to live for..
if you struggle with pornography..
if you struggle with lust..
if you are addicted to things you shouldnt be..
if you have burdens you are tired of carrying..
if you want to be FREE

i ask you to say one thing...
shout it louder than you have ever shouted it..

I WANT MY EYE BACK
I WANT TO KEEP IT..
I WANT TO BE FREE...
I WANT WHAT GOD WANTS FOR ME!



It was that day that I became FREE


*Behold I am with you and I will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will NOT leave you until I have dont what I have spoken to you. - Genesis 28:15
