Even When
good things happen, theres a price to pay for them later.
Have you ever noticed that?
I just feel so selfish.
Maybe what seems good really isn't what you need.
Maybe it isn't good for other people involved.
But how can you ever know?
You can't.
It's one thing to make a mistake...by mistake.
It's another to go into something knowing you're going to make a mistake... and not being able to change that fact.
[ I think mistake is the wrong word to use.]
I can already tell that this is going to be one of blocks of life that is going to stretch me.
Better yet, it's going to catapult me into a destination that is unknown.
And that's what life is, right?
Knowing that you have no idea what is going to happen next, but having the faith to press onward and find out.
[We'll go with... a working definition. ]
Time reveals a lot about yourself.
That seems like an agreeable statement.
In the time I've been alotted, I know one thing that is true about myself.
I would rather be hurt than hurt another.
I think in finding out who I am, I've created phobias.
Because, that's who I think I am.
I am a person who is afraid of: hurting others, not seeing loved ones in heaven, being a bad mother, and public speaking.
"You Never Let Go" by Matt Redman
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I'm caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won't turn back
I know you are near
And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We'll live to know You here on the earth
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You
Why the frown?
You know you look better when it's upside down.

So firstly, the worship song you posted is amazing and really deserves to be remembered, and was a good reminder to me. Its becoming one of my favorites, if all else fails,Despite the hellish storm around us and the problems we create for ourselves,we can hold onto God right? I feel that I can relate in a sense. I would gladly take a bullet for someone rather than see someone else get hurt. I would so much rather be hurt myself than make someone else go through the pain.
And I do agree with the fact that the more we think we know about ourselves, the more it seems (or at least in my case) problems I have because I always think I'm at a point. For me, Weather its faith-wise, or even relationship wise, I feel that I'm at a certain point, but I have rose tinted glasses on and I'm afraid-or don't even realize- that I have them on when the rest of the world sees me so clearly, and therefore, start having this picture in my head of what I am and am not.
Hold Strong Kim, Hold Strong to freaking Jesus and let him be your rock. Its the only thing that gets me through the day sometimes, not happy words, or spiffy encouragements, but the fact that at the end of the day, and the end of whatever terrible end I've come to because of my own demise, that if I give up the stupid crap to Christ, that I still have Him to hold onto at the end of the day.
Hell yes for Hope. (sounds like a good t-shirt idea to me. haha)
I love you and your insights! Brilliant mind you do have. Much Love Sista frang

Baby, I love you.
I love everything about you,
including your imperfections
because that's part of what defines you.
I have learned, especially in the past few months as you particularly know,
that I too would much rather suffer than see another in pain.
But you, more than anyone, need to think of yourself too because before you can take care of another, you need to take care of yourself. I know it's hard, but sometimes, it's a necessity.
You are one of the best people I know, and I hate how torn up you get because of the lengths you go through to protect someone else's feelings. But I know that's how you are, and it's not something you can change so quickly. But more than anything, I want you to put yourself first, if only just for one time, so that you can truly be happy in a complex situation.
I love you.
I'm always here for you.
You know this.
