Quote reblogged from .gobbledygooks.Inside the artist’s soul there is always a part that feels no remorse or fear when it comes to all that is dark in human nature. It seems to me that a part of the artist’s soul gets damaged to such an extent that it grows impervious to pain, heat, or cold. Like a scar.Jazz; Cristian Mihai

Pain is a forest we all get lost in
Between the branches hope can be so hard to see
And in the darkness we’ve all got questions
We’re all just trying to make sense out of suffering but
You say I am blessed because of this
So, I choose to believe
As I carry this cross, You’ll carry me
Help me believe it
Fear is a current we all get caught in
And in its motion faith can be so hard to find
And we all falter ‘cause we’re all broken
We’re all just trying to turn the shadows into light but
You get glory in the midst of this
And You’re walking with me
And you say I am blessed because of this
So, I choose to believe
As I carry this cross, You’ll carry me
And I know Your promises are faithful
And God, I’ve seen Your goodness in my life
And oh, I’ve found Your mercy is a river
Your love is an ocean wide
You say I am blessed because of this
You get glory in the midst of this
And You’re walking with me
And You say I am blessed because of this
So, I choose to believe
As I carry this cross, as I carry this cross
‘Cause as I carry this cross, You’ll carry me
You’ll carry me, God
You’ll carry me
And Your love is an ocean wide -
Quote reblogged from .gobbledygooks.…but it seems to me that no matter our reason for choosing to become artists, we all find more happiness in the stories or paintings or songs we create than we find in the real world. This is the sad truth: artists choose to live with one eye always closed to the world, the here and the now, and use that awareness to see what others can’t.Jazz; Cristian Mihai

Recently, I read & heard a lot of news concerning death to come to the conclusion that the safest place I can ever be is in the will of God.
We have not much control from death - when will we die. We will not die if “our time has no come yet.” We have some control because of medical aid, but doctors can only do as much as they can…they rest is still up to the giver of life.
It is a miracle that we who are alive are alive, breathing, and moving about now.
Conception is a miracle. Birth is a miracle. Many couples could not get pregnant, many babies did not come out of the womb alive……but they’re in heaven waiting to be reunited with their parents.
From the moment a baby is born to the time he/she is one year old, it is a miracle that he/she is alive, healthy, and is still by your side. Many babies did not make it.
#the Orthodox Jewish couple (only 21-years-old) that perished in the car accident with their baby; and they were in a Camry! A solid Camry. If it was a Proton or Perdua…it’ll be even worst. Because the other car is a solid BM. I can’t imagine how will it be like to be the child if he had survived.
From the time a child is 1 to when the child is 12 and to 18 years old. It is a miracle that the child is still alive. Many did not make it.
#William, the missing 6 year-old boy made it to the news, believed to be kidnapped. But, now it seems that the parents murdered the child and gorged his eyes out and dumped him in a drain. #the school shootings.
#a 16 years old boy drove his parents’ CRV after midnight without permission & license, he was then involved in a tragic accident that left him dead unpleasantly but his friend survived.
#the 11 and 13 year old American boy(and others) who died of carbon monoxide poisoning; they were shovelling the snow and temporary took shelter the car unaware then snow blocked the exhaust.
#the 17 year old boy who was sucked into a golf-course’s drainpipe while collecting golf balls in waist high waters.
From the time a teenager graduates from high school to the time the teen is in college/university, it is a miracle if the teen graduate from university. Many did not drop out or graduate alive.
#the 21-year-old E.L who was found in the water tank in LA.
#a 22-year old ran out of petrol, stopped his car by the road side while he waits for his friend to bring petrol for him. It was drizzinling. A hillix crashed into him, the driver tried to get him out by smashing the windows but the engine and the car caught fire. He was going to graduate this month. He’s not from a wealthy family; his father strove to pay for his education.
#the young guy who donated blood then went to gym, he died.
#the smart, son of a well-known doctor who was supposedly murdered but the news said he jumped to his death.
You get the idea.
It is a miracle when you travel from one destination to the other unscathed; whether it is by plane, car, bus, train, bicycle. It is the grace of God.
#those private plane crashings
#the Moo worker who died while he cycled to work during the Olympics
#the bus of school children in Switzerland? after a skiing trip.
#the wealthy, only child man, who attempted to drive long distance back home after his friend’s wedding. He died in a car accident.
#the man who bought a new BMW, went out to ‘celebrate’ with his friends. A friend made him had a bottoms up. He drove but did not reach his home. He died in a tragic accident where his brains came out.
The thing is, people will not value life while they have it -paraphrasing Thornton Wilder.
The Romantic’s tendency to melancholy is founded. Time was short for them (even more so for us) and they are aware that might not have enough time to fulfill their dreams on earth.
How should I see life on earth? We all will die some day.
The previous sentence is quite controversial because Elisha did not die, Jesus died and resurrected, and God’s people will be raptured when the trumpet sounds.
We all know that we will die, but we live as if we will live forever…maybe because we are meant to and created to last forever.
I think…it’s not so much about society, it’s more about our own mentality.
How I long for the millennial reign of Christ, and for the New Earth & New Jerusalem.

Photo reblogged from you are my procedure
It means that you’ll be surrounded with/trapped in darkness when He says you’ll be “like a star, a light; shining in the darkness.”
-
Just because you’re older doesn’t mean that you can vent your anger; screaming, banging doors, going crazy, and yada yada yada; but I don’t “QUALIFY” to vent my frustrations just because.
-
What I consider communication, you consider talking back. Am I forbidden to have my own thoughts and my own way of doing things? Just because you’re older does not mean you can do it and I can’t. We learn by examples. “Just because I said so,” What are you? I don’t know you anymore.
-
Expectations is also the problem. You expect me to be like you; you compare yourself with me. How perfect and obedient you are. I’M NOT YOU. Even times are different. You grew up with 4 brothers, I grew up alone. You compare the way my friends talk to their parents, if you treat me the way their parents treat them, maybe the way we talk to each other will be different.
-
I think the problem with our relationship is privacy and space. You shouldn’t be sleeping in my room and get angry with me over chores when I have to do my school work ALONE & have this internal conflict. Things would be better if I only come home once in a while. I must leave.
-
In order for people to beware of/refrain from bullying, cheating, hurting, taking advantage of me, there are many things that I have done and will have to do.
-
I may forgive, but I’ll never forget the night you threatened to to chop me up into pieces or use to iron to burn me.
-
Money makes a lot of difference. If we have more money than we need, we won’t be hostile to each other over CHORES. Is chores worth that much to you?!
