There is a mountain that every child
Always looks up to, and the name
Of that mountain is Father.

Guide of the labyrinth,
Weaver of strength and protection.

Not unlike the stalk of a tree,
I have seen you age without grace
Familiar with shadow and thorn,
Your enormous branches triumphant
At the core of my spirit.

Vanquisher of fears,
Vessel of the child's adventure.

And you are a guide to the clouds,
A hidden tenderness that allowed
Me to grow, I will never forget
The lessons you taught me,
And the ones you let me learn
On my own.

Father of my life,
The old man is a peak to the stars.
For my Father.

Beyond the thoughts
that keep us bound
fear
suffering
anger  
love
we will fly
though it be fleeting

we savor
the height
while craving
the ground below
knowing
it takes both
to make
a soul
A Schism
is only insurmountable
as an illusory obstacle
within those who are,
in and of themselves,
already fractured.
"What is this but my reflection?
Who am I to judge or strike you down?"

It’s okay to say no. It’s okay to say no to someone you love. It’s okay to say no to a friend. It’s okay to say no to a parent or child. It’s okay to say no to a job or relationship.

It’s okay to say no to ****** advances. And it’s okay to say no to a person who’s romantically interested in you. Even if it hurts someone’s feelings, even if you disappoint people, even if you’re judged and ostracized — it’s okay to say no to anything and anyone that causes you pain or makes you uncomfortable. You’re allowed to put yourself first. You’re allowed to set limits and boundaries.

And you deserve to make your happiness and well being a priority. You don’t ever have to settle for something or someone that doesn’t feel right. And you definitely don’t have to compromise yourself for the sake of making other people happy. YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, AND IF THAT MEANS SAYING NO, IT'S MORE THAN OKAY.**

A quote by – Daniell Koepke
"No" is a complete sentence.
It does not require justification or explanation

(not my quote)
Longing to be free , open the door so that Christ can free you.
Of physical things that tied you down on this here planet Earth.
Just as sins, additions, feelings, among other things as well here.
Once Christ starts to Free you of these earthy things here on earth.
Then with the aid of his Holy Spirit you shall see many miracles.
Ones while he processing you out of things that hold you down.
Thus showing the world that he is your God, Lord, and Savior.
For our Walk and Salvation , he is working them out in us.
For our Salvation is not a quick fix, but a working process in us.
A process once startled, he shall not let us down but finish it.

With it i imagine things
What to buy
What to do
But when it all comes down
It has no value
Its just a way for satan
To take your soul

Some days my cup is half empty,
and some days my cup is half full,
there are days where my cup runeth over,
and days where there's no cup at all.

But today my cups full of coffee
made with heavenly beans from above
and into it I dip my biscuits
made with sugar and chocolate and love

God creates rain
to make you feel
less lonely;
to be the friend
that you need
when you want
to cry.

n.e
It's raining and I'm not complaining.

A river is aware
of its course...
wise to the ways
of water.
~Jai Ma~
to be the light,
carry with you
a heart filled with
fiery burning passion
to help

and seek no reward
for thyself
