Breaking Boxes

“It is easy to understand God as long as you don’t try to explain him.” ~ Joseph Joubert  While all of my writings are personal pieces that I treasure, some I treasure more than others. This one is pretty special to me. The reason why, I hope, will become obvious to you as you read.Continue reading “Breaking Boxes”

The best is yet to come!

“For a small reward, a man will hurry away on a long journey; while for eternal life, many will hardly take a single step.” ~ Thomas A` Kempis There is so much more to life than yesterday… Yet we are always focused on our past. Whether it is our past relationships, past jobs, past accomplishments,Continue reading “The best is yet to come!”

Another set of footprints…

“Next to love, sympathy is the divinest passion of the human heart” ~ Edmund Burke Life seems complicated enough when you have a million things to do– and a million things on your mind. But is that what life is supposed to feel like? Seems like too many of us are all about doing andContinue reading “Another set of footprints…”

What once used to beContinue reading “A Dismantled Season”

My past was so messed up, it seemed so destroyed; Decisions that I made, they all turned out void. My future is so unclear, itContinue reading ““A Work in Progress” (a song of pleading)”

I don’t want to be in love (unless you’re in love with me…)

Love is such a complex emotion. It really makes the heart do crazy, yet sometimes wonderful things. Love is really the one emotion that can make you feel like you are on top of the world or can make you feel like you’ve sunk your deepest low. I know that in my life I haveContinue reading “I don’t want to be in love (unless you’re in love with me…)”

sovereignty… why we always don’t get what we want

In Christianity there seems to be a paradox between the importance of God’s sovereignty and the importance of man’s free will. Before I continue, I just want to emphasize that this will not be a treatise or a research paper or any form of academic work on the topic. I am merely giving some viewsContinue reading “sovereignty… why we always don’t get what we want”
