Life comes at us fast. We all gotta be faster.

Not one thing will stand between me and my God

I refuse it.

I have lied to him, cheated him, forsaken him, forgotten him, and fallen so far of where he held me.

No longer. I am done bringing shame.

God is my rock and his word is my sword and my faith is my shield.

I will defend him, no matter the cost, and when I feel broken, I will run to him and nothing else.

No person, no image, and no desire will overcome it. Not anymore.

NOT ANYMORE! I’m tired of fighting for myself. I’m tired of fighting myself.

I’ve always known what I’ve had to do and no longer am I going to neglect that.

This is my statement. This is my pledge. I’ve broken one too many, and should I feel the temptation to break it I pray God throw me to the ground to have me remember.

I am a soldier of his. I will fight like it.

I’ll come home with the knowledge that he can smile upon me for defending the faith and being there for my fellow soldiers through and through.

To anybody who knew me, knows me, or will come to know me:

This is my pledge. Hold me to it.

IT’S CHRISTMASSSSSS!!!! :DDDDDDDD
LISTEN TO SOME ABR INSTRUMENTAL AND LOVE IT!
LOVE IT NOW!

twas’ 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38 
when 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven’s gate.
their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air.
they could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.
they were filled with such joy, they didn’t know what to say.
they remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
“where are we?” asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
“this is heaven.” declared a small boy. “we’re spending Christmas at God’s house.”
when what to their wondering eyes did appear,
but Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near.
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same.
then He opened His arms and He called them by name.
and in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring
those children all flew into the arms of their King
and as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
one small girl turned and looked at Jesus’ face.
and as if He could read all the questions she had
He gently whispered to her, “I’ll take care of mom and dad.”
then He looked down on earth, the world far below
He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe
then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand,
“Let My power and presence re-enter this land!”
“may this country be delivered from the hands of fools”
“I’m taking back my nation. I’m taking back my schools!”
then He and the children stood up without a sound.
“come now my children, let me show you around.”
excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran.
all displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can.
and i heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,
“in the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT.”

My grandfather got me this album yesterday as an early Christmas gift. Favorite band ever’s greatest and latest album? Heck yeah!
I’ve been listening to it almost non-stop.

I played the whole thing over last night somewhere between 5 and 23 times…

God Bless TFK…

I’m going to spam a song or two and lyrics now… :P

Thousand Foot Krutch — So Far Gone

I’ve stood alone and I’ve fallen down
Your hands were there to pick me off the ground
Sometimes I cry cause I can’t believe
Your love is big enough to cover me

Sometimes I’ve wondered if you’re even there
But when I feel far away you meet me there
And like a candle makes a brighter place
This mark you’ve made on me can’t be erased

But when you come against my country
When you come against my family
You try to destroy my people
I can’t just stand by
There’s no way that I can stand by
This time, I will not stand by
I am coming, and if I come, then pain is coming with me
I’m coming, and pain will be with me
