that is why, for Christ's sake, i delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when i am weak, then i am strong.

Your love breaks me
sometimes the only way i find myself being able to express my gratitude to You is to keep quiet and cry(:
on friday at the park, a little girl smiled and waved to me behind her mum's back(: on saturday at the park, a little girl ran up to me to show me a sticker in her hand, and showed me that her daddy had one too, on his shirt.
so she peeled it out and stuck it in his hand(:
these things in the midst of the exams, make my heart sing for joy to You.
these things in the midst of all my irritation and anger at the way things are being done, makes me try harder to take a pause and ask myself,
A little boy of thirteen was on his way to school He heard a crowd of people laughing and he went to take a look Thousands were listening to the stories of one man He spoke with such wisdom, even the kids could understand
The hours passed so quickly, the day turned to night Everyone was hungry but there was no food in sight The boy looked in his lunchbox at the little that he had He wasn't sure what good it'd do, there were thousands to be fed
But he saw the twinkling eyes of Jesus The kindness in His smile And the boy cried out With the trust of a child He said:
"Take my five loaves and two fishes Do with it as you will I surrender Take my fears and my inhibitions All my burdens, my ambitions You can use it all to feed them all"
I often think about that boy when I'm feeling small And I worry that the work I do means nothing at all
But every single tear I cry is a diamond in His hands And every door that slams in my face, I will offer up in prayer
So I'll give you every breath that I have Oh Lord, you can work miracles All that you need is my "Amen"
So take my five loaves and two fishes Do with it as you will I surrender Take my fears and my inhibitions All my burdens, my ambitions You can use it all I hope it's not too small
the greatest love that anyone could ever know overcame the cross and grave to find my soul and till i see You face to face and Grace Amazing takes me home, i'll trust in You.
As i drive to school in the mornings all the cars are in a rush they see you're a girl and they horn and tailgate slow to anger, i must
a slave, i was, again, to fear a slave i was to sin yet once again You picked me up You brought me close to Him.
As i sit here and write this poem i think hard and search within what are the things that make me unholy? -My anger leads to sin.
these little things i could choose to shove them away instead of saying sorry but i really want to live to love You and not fall short of Your glory.
so i pen down my life, my innermost thoughts praying that You'll read them through i'm sorry for living as though You've not risen i'm sorry i always upset You.
i really don't know how to say all of these not many beautiful words i have but all i can say is thank You for Your provision thank You for holding my cares.
and as i struggle through these decisions Lord help me to be perfect, just as our heavenly Father is perfect(:
