Is knowing when to end it

Suffering was not part of the original plan,
Because when man was created,he was already connected to God-the closeness that we now have to seek existed naturally.
When man sinned,he had to start striving for a better life,a relationship with God,and also the search for wisdom and knowledge.
Suffering draws our hearts closer to God,when man sinned the original relationship was distorted therefore there has to be a way to draw us truly back to God.
When theres suffering,theres deep humility that makes us surrender all to Christ because we acknowledge that our strengths are just not enough.
God wants us to love and trust Him,therefore He is always with us through it all... Sometimes we suffer because God is trying to remind us of His power and glory,to return to Him and not miss heaven.
God loves you and He is very much ALIVE!!

Knowing exactly what you want is motivation enough.

We think its our own strength or luck,but in the actual sense its grace.

found herself alone again
and she begged for life and love
she's wished more times than there are stars in the sky
same as it ever was
same as it ever was

he spoke of was and when
to the moon perched high above
but the moon made no reply
same as it ever was
same as it ever was

I don't want your love 24/7
Or even 25/7
I want it 26/7
Turn up the heat
Who cares about being discreet?
I want our eyes to meet
In tune
I want every second to feel like it's my birthday in June
And it should feel that way
I have you, after all

"You touched my fingertips.
I felt it. My heart skipped a beat.
Taking hold of my hand. It stopped.
The high school child in me embraced
the playtime once again.
Sitting on a park bench thinking of our bleachers
at the Friday night football games.
Now we cheer for the pigeons as they fight
for the bread crumbs.
It's all so beautiful, only different times.
We are here still together, that's all that really
matters.
Beautiful to reminisce, grateful that
we can.
To kiss each others lips, and start our hearts
pumping once again."

I believe in GOD
And I praise Him!
His greatness can not be understood.
No matter where life takes me my hope lies in Him alone.
I'm hopeless without His grace and mercies.
I thank Him daily because He's worthy of all the praise.
There's no one like Jesus Christ.

Don't force things,life has a way of making things work. What's meant to be will be,whenever,wherever,however.

My father died
from a gun shot wound
to the head

self-inflicted

Don't get all weird about it.

Fathers die
and their passing
though certain
is rarely easy.

So what can I say of this man
so many years
after his emphatic end?

I can say what Whitman said
of Lincoln:
"O Captain, my Captain.
Rise up and hear the bells."

But he will not.

He was ever-present
wise and alert
a boxer in life
a fighter in every way.

And I grew up with the gloves on
quick
elusive
and thanks to him
successful in every ring.  

He died
******* on a lit tobacco stick

Emphysema was gonna
take him down
so he pulled his own trigger
saved his family that way
though that's a longer tale

Therefore
and whereas
this is a belated requiem
for a man I loved.
My Captain.
Dear and departed
these many years
may he rest in peace
as he never rested
in life.
