There's a fire and it hurts - bright and beautiful but Hollywood is dead.

You’re here
You're holding me so near
I’m staring into the face of my Savior
King and Creator
You could’ve left us on our own
But You’re here



And still He calls
Through the night,
Beyond the days of old.
A voice of peace
To the weary ones,
Who struggle with the human soul.

All of us,
Travellers,
Through a given time.
Who can know
What tomorrow holds?
But over the horizon,
Surely you and I will find peace.


All else pales compared to knowing You.
Loving You through loving people - that's what it's about.
Not the money, not the fame, not the feel-good-now.
My life is just a moment that will determine the forever after.
I don't want to waste it.
Will You hold my outstretched hand?
Will You help me understand?

sometimes you have to feel the thud

it's not good to fly all the time
sometimes you have to feel the thud of falling in order to really appreciate the view from above
and if you never fall, you'll never be on the ground - your head will be in the clouds and that's not good for your character
even though it's painful, falling and hitting the ground is sometimes the best thing for you. getting back up means so much more.
