Honesty

a moment not being truthful, ruefully you will feel.
words spoken can't be taken, like the nail driven into wood.
sorrow ensues, the heart contrite and humble.
what to do but square my shoulders and pray:
"Oh Lord strengthen me each day, teach me Your ways".

Same Side Of The Moon

I'm looking out the window
Where we sat to watch the stars
There's a chill within the air
It makes my heart long for your touch
You may be miles away
But as I kneel to pray

I see the same side of the moon
That we'll be looking on when the world turns blue
And know that time and space can't come between me and you
We share the same side of the moon
And though you'll never see all the tears shine through
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon

I picture you across the ocean
In your corner of the world
I pray the wind will blow my voice
And gently whisper in your ear
Your night may be my day
And though the seasons change

It's still the same side of the moon
That we'll be looking on when the world turns blue
And know that time and space can't come between me and you
We share the same side of the moon
And though you'll never see all the tears shine through
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon

A Man's True Strength

What defines a man? What defines his strength? Is it his achievements? Leadership skills? Things that he does that make people go "ohh" and "ahhh"..what is the quintessential state of being a man?

Several questions and thoughts that i have pondered over the last few months. It is something which i had gone through for quite awhile but i had never seriously gave much thought into..*maybe this had lead to the lack of posts on my blogs..haha*

Looking hard at myself and going through all that is within me...i would say i have a lot of work to do. I AM WEAK.

i am not saying this in a way that is negative or putting myself down. For me, i think the first step in being a man is to identify his weaknesses. I have many weaknesses and will never be perfect until i hit the grave and see God face to face. But i will not give up in running after God, changing myself to be more and more like Christ. It hurts, it is tough. To go against the flow of people's expectations, stereotypes, comments, my own fears and selfish desires . Sweat, blood and tears flow freely in the process. I fall and stumble time and again, but i have to pick myself up and continue running. Why? Because this is who i am..this is the process that defines me.

What defines a man? God does. He defines me and i am created in his image. Father, let me run after you more and more. Amen.
