fly me away...

step out, you can walk on the water too...

You look around and staring back at you
Another wave of doubt
Will it pull you under? You wonder
What if i'm overtaken? What if i never make it?
What if no one's there? Will you hear my prayer?
When you take that first step Into the unknown
You know that He won't let you go

So what are you waiting for? What do you have to lose?
Your insecurities, They try to hold to you
But you know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes
And you can walk on the water too...

So get out and let your fear fall to the ground
No time to waste, don't wait...
And don't you turn around, and miss out on everything you were made for
Gotta be, I know you're not sure,
So you play it safe, you try to run away
If you take that first step into the unknown
He won't let you go...

Step out, even when it's storming
Step out, even when you're broken
Step out, even when your heart is telling you, telling you to give up
Step out, when your hope is stolen
Step out, you can't see where you're going
You don't have to be afraid...
So what are waiting, what are you waiting for

i could be ordinary, i could be the one...

I could be your sea of sand
I could be your prayer of hope
I could be your gift of everyday
I could be a hint of what's to come

I could be the storm before the calm
I could be your well wishing well
I could be your breath of life
I could be your European dream

I could be your worry partner
I could be your socialite
I could be your green eyed monster
I could be your force of light
I could be your temple garden
I could be your tender hearted child

I could be your leafy island
I could be your thunder in the clouds
I could be your dark enclosure
I could be your romantic soul
I could be your small beginning
I could be your soothing universe

I could be ordinary
I could be the one

mother teresa tells a story...

God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try. 



I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world. 


I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much. 


If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it. 


If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one. 


If you judge people, you have no time to love them. 


In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love. 


It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters. 


Jesus said love one another. He didn't say love the whole world. 


Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. 


Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier. 


The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.

faithful trust parable...

"There once lived a peasant in Crete who deeply loved his life. He enjoyed tilling the soil, feeling the warm sun on his naked back as he worked the fields, and feeling the soil under his feet. He loved the planting, the harvesting, and the very smell of nature. He loved his wife and his family and his friends, and he enjoyed being with them. Eating together, drinking wine, talking, and making love. And he loved especially Crete, his, beautiful island! The earth, the sky, the sea, it was his! This was his home.

One day he sensed that death was near. What he feared was not what lay beyond, for he knew God's goodness and had lived a good life. No, he feared leaving Crete, his wife, his children, his friends, his home, and his land. Thus, as he prepared to die, he grasped in his right hand a few grains of soil from his beloved Crete and he told his loved ones to bury him with it.

He died, awoke, and found himself at heaven's gates, the soil still in his hand, and heaven's gate firmly barred against him. Eventually St Peter emerged through the gates and spoke to him: 'You've lived a good life, and we've a place for you inside, but you cannot enter unless you drop that handful of soil. You cannot enter as you are now!' The man was reluctant to drop the soil and protested: 'Why? Why must I let go of this soil? Indeed, I cannot! What ever is inside those gates I have no knowledge of. But this soil, I know . . . it's my life, my work, my wife and kids, it's what I know and love, it's Crete! Why should I let it go for something I know nothing about?'

Peter answered: 'When you get to heaven you will know why. It's too difficult to explain. I am asking you to trust, trust that God can give you something better than a few grains of soil.' But the man refused. In the end, silent and seemingly defeated, Peter left him, closing the large gates behind. Several minutes later, the gates opened a second time and this time, from them, emerged a young child. She did not try to coax the man into letting go of the soil in his hand. She simply took his hand and, as she did, it opened and the soil of Crete spilled to the ground. She then led him through the gates. A shock awaited him as he entered heaven . . . ………….there, before him, lay all of Crete!”


Quoted in Ronald Rolheiser, Against an Infinite Horizon, pp.50-51., (Great Britain, 1995). 

- By letting it go, he found it...what are you holding on to?

  my prayer for you is that you may grow on faithful trust...always...

kindness...

‎"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." ~Plato Athens (427 BC - 347 BC)

about faith...

Everybody falls sometimes. Gotta find the strength to rise.
From the ashes and make a new beginning.
Anyone can feel the ache. You think its more than you can take.
But you are stronger, stronger than you know. Don't you give up now

It doesn't matter what you've heard. Impossible is not a word
It's just a reason for someone not to try. Everybody's scared to death
When they decide to take that step. Out on the water
It'll be alright. Life is so much more Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way. If you keep believing

I've seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn't ever end Even when the sky is falling
And I've seen miracles just happen Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new

That's what faith can do...
