Every Second Counts

Every second counts
Every minute's deep
Tossed like a wave
Always bittersweet

It will wrap you in it's arms
Take you for a ride
Touch you in a way
Somewhere far away, inside

You hold on longingly
Both hands clasping tight
Afraid of letting go,
You are consumed in all your fright

But the longer you hold on
The wearier you are
You can't look left or right
You can't look very far

Never looking forward
Because you're always looking back
The small joys in life you'd find
They are something that you lack

Don't worry about tomorrow
Don't stress about your past
Hold on to what's good and true
Because nothing ever lasts

Instead of looking backward
Instead of staying still
Look upont  the one who's pierced
Who died upon the hill

Look upon the one who's splintered
Where thorns encrust his head
Look upon the one who gave us life, his body is our bread

Look upon the one whose blood is showered upon our souls
It gives us everlasting life and its cost is more than gold

If you are looking where you should you will find three things of truth
One, you'll never thirst again, or hunger, is number two

And third, your joy will return to you as if it never fled
But none of these things would come to pass if his blood was never shed.

Welcome





Welc
ome to my babble blog! Here you will find: the random musings of a full-time stay-at-home mom and wife/part-time leasing specialist for three apartment communities, all-the-time crafter, whole-hearted worshipper, in-progress follower of Jesus Christ, and spontaneous hyper individual.

Because there are just so many facets of me..
