hmmm...

The thing is, one never knows

so we might as well try our best now, in the present

So who cares if it doesn't work out?

Do you really want to live with regrets for the rest of your life?

They don't make very good companions....

They are like bratty children

or worse

they laugh at you for eternity, nagging you.... kicking you while you are down

No siree... you can keep all of them to yourself if you really want them

Let me go and fly away... onwards and upwards

beyond the clouds, where all you see is light

I do not want to be tied down to the cares of this world

The worries that choke the life out of many people

The anxiety that causes one to be paralyzed

Let us let go, guys

Let us let go 'of the sin that so easily ensnares us and let us run with endurance the race that has been set before us'

Let us let go of this world and become 'other-worldly'

(most churches would call that being 'heavenly minded'.....)

whatever-

let us just transcend into that which we were always fashioned for: live life abundantly

Let me be rid of the stuff that weighs me down

The fears, the insecurities, the what 'ifs' of this life

Let me live with endurance, with boldness

Let me live beyond my expectations

Let me live like nothing else matters but the eternal

(which, by the way, if you didn't know, IS the truth... nothing else matters BUT the eternal)

I want to love with passion

I want to give with sacrifice

I want to be a good friend

I want to be an exceptional daughter

I want to love Him until I dissolve in His presence

I want to see His face

I want to sing His praise

I want to give myself away to Him until there is nothing left in me but that which reflect Him

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths" Proverbs 3:5-6
