It's funny how when certain things are on one's mind one hopes for a break so that there'll be time to think things through but when the break finally comes one wishes that school/work would start so that it can help to take the mind off things and the cycle repeats, again and again

When things don't go as planned
one has the choice of being upset and frustrated
or to rest in the fact that the One above knows better

But even with the latter option
one could still question the reason behind it
but try as we might
we can only speculate

The purpose of getting rest?
protection?
or perhaps a hidden agenda which could pose as a hindrance?

We should do our part to give it some thought
and carry out any necessary actions
but above all,
trust that no one knows better than One
and He has His reasons

Dear Mr. God

Dear Mr God
I'm writing You today
Because it seems like lately
I've forgotten how to pray
I know I don't need this pen
But everybody llikes to get
A letter now and then
I'm sorry for not writing more

Cause I need You
But it's hard to see
Why someone as big as You
Needs anything from me
I know You're there
So how have you been?
I'm alright but I can't lie
Sometimes I feel like giving in
You're all I've got

Dear Mr. God
Sometimes I wish
You lived next door
So over coffee You could tell me
What You started all this for
I guess you saw
That sunrise yesterday
Thanks for the reminder
That You're never gone away
It gives me hope
Telling You what You already know

Dear Mr. God
Tell me do You ever cry
When we forget to thank You
For the good things in our lives
I know I can't always understand
Why You do the things You do
But I know in the end
I'll make it through
If I stand next to You
So here I am

Dear Mr. God
I'm writing You today
Because it seems like lately
I've forgotten how to pray

Reminded of Your faithfulness

I don't know what this day will bring
Will it be disappointing, or filled with longed for things?
I don't know what tomorrow holds
Still I can trust Your faithfulness

I don't know if these clouds mean rain
If they do, will they pour down blessing or pain?
I don't know what the future holds
Still I can trust in Your faithfulness

Certain as the rivers reach the seas
Certain as the sunrise in the east
I can rest in Your faithfulness
Surer than a mother's tender love
Surer than the stars still shine above
I can rest in Your faithfulness

I don't know how or when I'll die
Will it be a thief, or will I have a chance to say goodbye?
No, I don't know how much time is left
But in the end, I will know Your faithfulness

When darkness overwhelms my soul
When thoughts and storms of doubt
Still I trust You are always faithful, always faithful

As much as questions are raised
Opportunities are seen
Hoping that it will hold up during crunch time
lest they slip by

To be focused on the initial purpose
that resulted in the decision made then
and to see it till the end
for this one at least

We are weak, He is strong
In His arms we belong
He is worthy, He is mighty
He can do anything for me

Just some food for thought

Many times we hear that 'quality is better than quantity' but if there's no quantity to begin with, where's the quality going to come from?
