Love Along Miles

thinking about you
Makes my heart beat
And seeing you
Makes my day complete

Now, I don't want to see you
Cause I know time would come
For you to wave goodbye
And for you my heart might die

Yes, time had really come
For you to leave and go
This feelings of mine is damn
Cause it hurts me so

How stupid am i
Allowing my feelings to grow
Even though i know
That i won't see you anymore

Trying to make
This feelings be erased
Still, it's like a lake
Growing wide and won't cease

You have waved me goodbye
and i would be left waiting
But still, my love for you
Will fly along miles

I Will Not be Moved

by: Natalie Grant


I have been the wayward child
I have acted out
I have questioned Sovereignty
And had my share of doubt
And though sometimes my prayers feel like
They're bouncing off the sky
The hand I hold won't let me go
And is the reason why...

I will stumble
I will fall down
But I will not be moved
I will make mistakes
I will face heartaches
But I will not be moved
On Christ the Solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
I will not be moved

Bitterness has plagued my heart
Many times before
My life has been like broken glass
And I have kept the score
Of all my shattered dreams and though it seemed
That I was far too gone
My brokenness helped me to see
It's grace I'm standing on

And the chaos in my life
Has been a badge I've worn
Though I have been torn
I will not be moved

Roots Before Branches

by: Room For Two

So many things
To do and say
But I can't seem
To find my way
But I wanna know how
I know
I'm meant
For something else
But first
I gotta find myself
But I don't know how

Oh, why do
I reach for the stars
When I don't have wings
To carry me that far?

I gotta have
Roots before branches
To know who I am
Before I know
Who I wanna be
And faith
To take chances
To live like I see
A place in this world
For me

Sometimes
I don't wanna feel
And forget the pain
Is real
Put my head
In the clouds
Oh, start to run
And then I fall
Seein'
I can't get it all
Without my feet
On the ground

There's always a seed
Before there's a rose
The more that it rains
The more I will grow

I gotta have
Roots before branches
To know who I am
Before I know
Who I wanna be
And faith
To take chances
To live like I see
A place in this world
For me

Whatever comes
I know how to take it
Learn to be strong
I won't have to fake it
Oh, you're understandin'
Oh, but when you come
And do it best
There ain't nothin'
To stoppin' east to west
(I'm not sure
If this is right)
But I'll still
Be standing
I'll be standing

I gotta have
Roots before branches
To know who I am
Before I know
Who I wanna be
And faith
To take chances
To live like I see
A place in this world

I gotta have
Roots before branches
To know who I am
Before I know
Who I wanna be
And faith
To take chances
To live like I see
A place in this world
For me

I gotta have
Roots before branches

Worth

In our society we put on value on things stating how much it cost. Deciding upon what is cheap, costly, and priceless. Being oriented to such, it had come naturally for us to also place value not only on things but also on people, experiences and relationships.

We often say "it's not worth it" especially on times when we are already hurting. "He is not worth it"; "You deserve someone else"; etc. But how do we know what is worth and what's not on experiences and relationships?

The past few days I have been wondering about that question. One time, a friend of mine and I were talking about it. She told me that "she was willing to cry for someone as long as he is worth it." But again, what's worth and what's not?

Recently, I have made a decision which challenged my views on what is worth it and what's not.

Life involves risk. Every decision we make has an equal reaction. We never know what the consequence of the decision would be until we have already made and acted on that decision. It is later then that we realize that that decision was either bad or good, when it made us happy or sad.

I asked that friend of mine how she will know if the guy would be worth it. Is it, when at the end, they end  up being together, happy and loving each other? How about if it turned out the other way around? When at the end, even if how much she loved that person it did not turn that way she wanted it to be, would it then devalue the experience she had with that person, and that person itself?

It is this part now that I want to challenge.

 We experience things in life that at the start made us madly, truly and deeply happy yet ending up in bitterness and pain.  And we end up saying, "it's not worth it!" If it will not end, we'll never hear the words not worth it being uttered.

Pain is part of the risks in things that we do and I believe that whatever we do has its own value regardless of what the outcome maybe.  In every experience it is not focus on one emotion alone. It is  a series of emotion  varying from happiness, excitement, joy, pain, suffering, loss and tears. Every experience of that emotion has its worth and ought to be judge separately. The same way that every experience that we have, has a lesson that is worth keeping.

I would only consider something not worth it if and only if that person and the experience is brutal and abusive.  Physical pain that is inflicted to someone with conscious knowledge on the severity of the pain to be inflicted  is really a thing that should not be experienced by anyone. For only sadist people relish this kind of activity. That, is not worth it.

Apart from that, in my opinion, every experience has its value.

That it is worth fighting for something you believe in even if you’re the only person fighting for it; to be working tirelessly for the family you love even if it is the only thing you have been doing;  to experience mistakes  even if at the start you already know it's going to hurt badly; to keep dreaming even if you have failed a million times; and to be loving someone even if it is just you doing the loving ;even if that  person have kept putting your hopes down; even if loving has made of you a stupid person;  even if it kept you awake late at night crying;  or even if risking in a relationship knowing that more of the risks are on you.

These experiences ought to be treated as priceless. However painful it may be it has a worth. This worth lies in the lessons that we gain enabling us to grow and mature in life.  To continue with life's daily battles. It is in these "not worth it" stuffs that we keep breathing. It gives us hope to go on believing even if there is nothing left to believe; for hope is the fuel that keeps man running in life.

So the next time I get to choose between what is ' worth it and what is not', I would first consult my heart then my mind for those that are not worth it for other people may be the only thing that would give worth to my life.
