Relying on Jesus
Here’s an interesting story about putting our trust in Jesus:
When Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, or as you know them as Shradrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego were about to be thrown into the fiery furnace by Nebuchadnezzar, God was prancing around really nervous searching for a way to save them. He went to the first angel, this angel had 2 wings. God asked, “How fast can you get down to Babylon? I need to save Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.” The angel replied, “I can get there in 24 hours!” God exclaimed “24 hours! That’s much too long.” God goes to a second angel. Now, this angel had 4 wings. God asks the same question, “How long can you get to Babylon?” The angel replies, “I can do much better than the last. I can be there in 12 hours.” This was not acceptable to God. God goes to a third angel, with 6 wings. He asks the same question, this angel replies, “I can do even better, 6 hours!” “No, no, no. This won’t do,” God says. He goes to again another angel with 8 wings. This angel was able to be there in 3 hours. But 3 hours wasn’t good enough for God. As a final resort, God goes to His best angel. This one has 10 wings! God asks this angel, “How fast can you get to Babylon?” This angel answered “1.5 hours!” But, 1.5 hours was still not good enough for God. Finally God has an idea, “My Son! I’ll get my Son to do it! Where’s my Son?” God couldn’t find His Son. He searched heaven high and low to search for His Son. Suddenly, from Babylon, Jesus calls out to His Father from the furnace, “I’m already here!”

Trust God
"When God leads you to the edge of the cliff, trust him fully. Only one of the two things will happen; either he will catch you when you fall or he will teach you how to fly."
Blame me
Blame me
It’s not your fault
You were accused for an assault
Held by default
But I refuse to reduce your name
and put you to shame
So I'll take the blame
I'll carry it on my shoulders
Block out disgrace
With two big boulders
And I’m sorry for the things I've done
that shot you like a gun
and made me want to run
Cause I knew it couldn’t be undone
But the war had just begun
Sorry I couldn’t understand
your demands and commands
in the language you spoke
which made the gap between us expand
But I was able to withstand
Sorry for the hearts I broke
Blame me for thinking it was just a joke
Sorry for wanting someone by my side
All the tears that I cried
were for making me hide what’s inside
Sorry for growing up
And expecting you to allow my growth
I said I would never pick up a coffee cup
But this stress got me breaking my oath
You acted but blame me cause
I reacted in an equal but opposite reaction
Is it my fault that you weren’t able to pause?
not when I wasn’t your satisfaction
Your words were wrong
but blame me for falling for them
and not being strong
so I became worse when you wanted me better
felt so much I couldn’t even say in a letter
you never learned
so how do I expect you to teach
but I still fell and avoided your reach
Blame me for what you’ve done to me
Only He has the key to free me of my past
A power no one can surpass..

Fear
I live in fear
constantly near tears
when anxiety appears
All I wanna do is
disappear and adhere
to what I know.
But what am I afraid of?
What is too heavy to shove?
It’s the constant battle
between us and them
The battle between bio and chem,
those bodies and our chemistry.
It’s the fear of getting trapped
in separate cages with only
our eyes at work and our hands at rest
its too hard to digest
and we cant attest
to what they say.
It’s the fear of trying
and them denying
It’s the fear of walking tall
then them coming down
and hawking all.
All that I’ve hoped for
All that I’ve groped for
I’m still tryna figure out life itself
But when fear creeps in,
All I’ve tried gets placed back on a shelf.
for when fear leaps out.
and when all i wanna do is
Forget
Everything
And
Run
I’m reminded that I must
Face
Everything
And
Recover
It’s that motivation I constantly need
In order for me to proceed
my way ahead to succeed
Cause I got somewhere to go
so I must leave fear down below.

I miss you this much
Where have you been
I’ve been waiting for you for so long
Waiting to sing another happy song
Waiting for you to be where you belong
I’ve been searching here and there
I swear it wasn’t fair for you and I
to be waiting for each other
There are many others
But we wouldn’t want another
cause we only want each other
Where did you go?
I didn’t know
I would miss you this much
Wherever you went
wasn’t as content
as the times we would’ve spent
Why did we part?
cause being apart
is like a bleeding heart
that doesn’t close up.
It heals then aches
then shakes and breaks
and all over again it goes
like neatly stacked leaves
that the wind blows
Baby, it’s been longer than
the longest time
Lately, you’ve been farther
than the farthest place
so pack your bags and come back
Track me down, get what you lacked
Show is over so roll on over
And I miss your touch in such
a way, so let’s get in touch.
Cause I miss you this much
as I sit here and clutch
your picture in my hands
as I wait the day when
this picture takes form
to keep me warm.
