It will get easier

You said, If you just trust me
It will get easier
Let me calm your sea
Let me fight by your side
And give you strength to overcome
Life is hard I know
But you don't have to fight alone
Just trust me

And I find it hard to surrender
Surrender doesn't come naturally to me
To trust in someone I can't see
Would be so Crazy
It would be easier to give up
To give up all my dreams
But what would it make me?

You said don't be afraid
I have plans for
Not to hurt you but to give you hope
To give you strength to press on
Don't look back but look straight ahead
For you have a future yet to come
Waiting for you to take hold of your prize
Hold on to your goal and keep running the race
Oh don't give up
keep your eyes on the goal

Who does that?
Who gets beat down over and over again?
Who just gets back up and keep running?
Who fails but brushes the dust off they're feet and press on?
But I have come to realize that when you fail
And don't try, and just give in and through away the prize
You won't learn from you mistakes
But you continue to fail
And it leaves you empty...you have nothing
You are nothing

But if you falter and yet press on
Your flame will burn out bright
When you hold your torch high
So I'll keep running the race
No matter what the cost
I will win my prize
And just maybe...
I realize it will get easier

You're Never Alone-Saosin

It's just like him
To wander off in the evergreen park
Slowly searching
For any sign of the ones he used to love
He says he's got nothing left to live for
(He says he's got nothing left)
And this time I think you'll know

You're not alone
There is more to this I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell

She's just like him
Spoiled rotten, confused by the lies shes been fed
She's searching for no one (but herself)
Her eyes turn to green and she seems to be happy that she is here
And this time I think you'll know

You're not alone
There is more to this I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell

You're not alone
There is more to this I know
You can make it out

(There is more to know)

We're not alone
There is more to this I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell

(So tell them)

You're not alone
There is more to this I know
You can make it out (make it out)
You will live to tell (live to tell)

You're not alone
There is more to this I know (and I know)
You can make it out
You will live to tell [ x2 ]

You are not alone
You're not, you're not alone

Hosana




Oh the silent night of Bethlehem
The stars are shining brightly in the dark blue sky
Making way for the young Messiah
Here the angels singing softly:
O' come all ye children, let us sing adoration
And lift him high above the nations
He is born to Virgin Mary
Come to die, and take the curse of men

Hosanna, Hosanna
Come to bring us Redemption
Hosanna, Hosanna
We lift up our tambourines
And dance before Him
For he alone, is our salvation

And one day he will take his last breath
On a cross of Calvary
Where his blood shed on the whole universe
He will take the curse of men upon Himself
And die to take our place, so we may live
But He will arise again
We shall have victory over the evil one
We will break off our chains and sing:
Hallelujah, Jesus Christ saved us
From Satan's chains
And the whole earth will sing:

This is a song I wrote called Hosanna, I hope you enjoy it. Happy Easter Everyone!!! Jesus is Alive!!!:)

Riddles in The Dark: by JRR Tolkien



The meaning behind the "Riddles in The Dark" (from The Hobbit):

What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees
Up, up it goes,
And yet never grows?

The answer is "Mountain" because if you think about it, logic tells you that a mountain is something that never grows and that is taller than a tree. The part that says "what has roots as nobody see"... I don't know for sure, but I think it is referring to the formation the mountain has layers of rock that forms into a mountain

Thirty white horses on a red hill,
First they champ,
Then they stamp,
Then they stand still.

The answer to the second riddle is "Teeth", the author is comparing teeth to horses when they walk; but when you think about it, when you chew your food it is almost sounds like champing and stamping, but we call it chewing or munching.

Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.

The answer to the third riddle is "Wind". To understand this riddle you have to think of it as someone telling you a ghost story, because the wind is like a ghost crying in the silence of the night. The line that says "wingless flutters", is referring to the trees, grass, flowers, and other things in nature that blows in the wind. And the line that says "toothless bites", it could be referring to frost bites in a winter storm, then again I'm not sure.

An eye in a blue face
Saw an eye in a green face.
'That eye is like to this eye'
Said the first eye,
'But in low place,
Not in high place.'

The answer to the fourth riddle is "Sun on the daisies". The eye on the blue face is the sun, and the face is the sky. And the eye on the green face is the daises, and the face is referring to grass. When you think about it the sun is looking down upon the daises on the grass or shining down.

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, Kills laughter.

The answer to the fifth riddle is "Dark". The rest of the riddle is easy to understand, but you might be confused when you hear the last line, ..."ends life, kills laughter"... To understand what this last line is talking about you have to look in mythology's point of view. In alot of mythical stories like the "Lord of The Rings", the darkness is portrayed as something evil, that kills and brings upon sorrow. It could also relate to a verse in the Bible that says " Sorrow may last in the night but joy will come in the morning", it is referring to how sometimes we would have a bad day, but we always wake up to a new day, it is like a chance to start again. This is one of my favorite riddles out of the 8.

A box without hinges, key, or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid.

The answer to the sixth riddle is "Egg". The author made it difficult to figure out, by comparing an egg to a box. You might of guest a treasure chest. But The clue that is not mentioned is the shape of the box, the box has an oval shape. The treasure is the yoke.

Alive with out breathe,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.

The answer to the seventh riddle is "fish". The riddle is referring to a fish living under water. Many of us should know that fish are cold blooded, and breathe underwater. The last line, "all in mail never clinking" is referring to the fish's scales.

This thing all things devours;
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays kings, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.

The answer to the last riddle is "Time". This riddle is a little bit harder to understand, but I think it is referring to how every activity takes a whole lot of time; it takes time for birds to travel across the sky to the next destination, it takes time for beasts to hunt for their food, and it takes time for trees and flowers to grow. In time all people die, even kings; but some of us get to live in heaven with God in eternity, and tragically some don't. This is also my favorite riddle, 'cause it could be used as a reminder to not take life for granted, to spend our time wisely, and to encourage us to make the right choice that we won't later on regret.

No Subject

Hey Guys, this post is mainly for "to write love on her arms". I am sure many of you are wondering why I put you off of my friends list on facebook...well I want you to know that I don't have anything against you, and my choice is not your fault. I want to apologize if my choice hurt you guys, please know that I didn't mean to hurt anyone. Being involved with "to write love on her arms" was too much for me, and I had to get away. It wasn't helping me with my emotional health, I am going through alot with my family. My mom has a mental illness, and dealing with your hurt was a little to much that I can handle. I hope I'm not offending you, I don't want to, but I want you to know that I understand your hurting, and I encourage you to seek help from someone who is stronger and more experienced.

Again, I am truely sorry, I have to confess that deleting you guys off my friends list wasn't the right approach, but I so overwelmed...and I thought that deleting you off my list would be the only way out of this situation...but I want you to know that I was wrong, and I am really sorry. Know that I am praying for you...and God loves you soooo much!!!

Before The Morning: by Josh Wilson

Do you wonder why you have to
Feel the things that hurt you
If there’s a God who loves you where is He now

Maybe there are things you can’t see
And all those things are happening
To bring a better ending

Someday somehow you’ll see you’ll see

Would you dare would you dare to believe
That you still have a reason to sing
Cause the pain that you’ve been feeling
It can’t compare to the joy that’s coming
So hold on you gotta wait for the light
Press on and just fight the good fight
Cause the pain that you’ve been feeling
It’s just the dark before the morning

My friend you know how this all ends
You know where you’re going
You just don’t know how you’ll get there
So say a prayer

And hold on cause there’s good for those who love God
But life is not a snapshot
It might take a little time but you’ll see the bigger picture

Once you feel the weight of glory
All your pain will fade to memory

It’s just the hurt before the healing
Oh the pain that you’ve been feeling
It’s just the dark before the morning

Hey guys this song is such an amazing song, it puts a smile on my face whenever I hear it. I hope you enjoy this song as much as I did, and I hope God touches your heart through this song also like he did mine.
