What is really underneath...

No one really ever understands the emotions and feelings that often are underneath the surface. A smile can hide a thousand tears and eyes may be the window to the soul but they can deceive too. An outgoing and happy attitude and personality can mask the self loathing and insecurities hidden inside. Laughter is the greatest defense against crying so hard you can't breathe. That fun fashion style you have may just be there to mask what is hidden beneath all the clothing and so no questions are asked. The sad thing is when everyone looks at me they never see what is really underneath.

I see the pain

"I see the pain and the hurt in this world. I've listened to your story before.

I may not be able to change everything and make all the pain go away.

You may have too much pain to bear on your own.

I can't change everything, no I'm just one person here.

There is doubt and fear but there's another way...if you make that change.

But we have to help look around...see what's going on.

Instead of fear and worry it will be replaced with safety and hope.

Look around see the people hurting. Calling out but no one answers.

They can't see the light around the corner, we aren't helping them to see how life could be.

Children hungry watching mommy and daddy die. No one to wipe away the tears.

To take them in their arms no their all alone. How can we ignore them.

You may have too much pain to bear on your own.

I can't change everything, no I'm just one person here.

There is doubt and fear but there's another way...if you make that change.

But we have to help look around...see what's going on.

Instead of fear and worry it will be replaced with safety and hope.

The knife is laying next to her

Sometimes...just have to walk away.

At some point you just have to close your eyes and walk away. It's not like it will be all that easy. The memories will be with you and it will be painful. But staying and getting hurt and broken hearted over and over again is not much better. There's no easy way...sometimes you just have to say. 'You had your chance I'm done with this game.' Then pick yourself up and walk away......chances are they will always have a special place in your heart....because even if they didn't you always loved them.....just like you said....and that is what makes it so hard....

When they try to talk...go ahead. Tell them what has been on your mind. Its going to be hard but sometimes it is your last resort. To leave or always continue to get hurt. Hold back the tears if you want and keep yourself from getting one...last...hug. You know it's all just a game to him and you meant everything you ever said.

Now it's your chance and don't let it pass. Tell him to make his choice or this game has finally come to an end. Heart break takes time to heal and you wont forget him...he's still your friend.

Do Not Mess With Love

Do not mess with someones emotions...because chances are in the end both sides get hurt.
Do not throw around the word Love unless you mean it...because people may actually believe it.
Do not act like I never meant anything to you because everyone around here knows everything that was between us.
Do not say things you do not mean...it just wastes your breath and my heart. Do not play with my heart...one day it will break.
Do not run back and forth...choose or get lost.
Do not pretned that you meant something else...say what you mean and mean whaat you say.
Do not feed me lies and then expect me to trust...I'm not stupid.
Do Not simply forget about me.....when I once meant everything to you.....
Do Not Mess With Love.

"The World's Not Safe Anymore"....can we make it "The World's Safe Again"?

Is this how you feel? "The world's not safe anymore!"

Well I can't tell you a lie, and say that you never have to worry about that because "of course the World Is Safe." "The World's Not Safe Anymore" and that is the honest truth. What are the dangers/problems in our world today? Well here's a list of what I have seen from my the world around me...
*fear&worry about the future
*heartbreak&now a fear of trusting again
*respect not being taught to children
*lying to get what you want or around something
*broken families
*abuse and crimes increasing
*fights and violence
*drugs being the way to deal with things for all ages
*alcohol...mistakes made while drunk trying to forget past mistakes
*financial scares and insecurity
*dangers in the streets...guns&knifes being carried sometimes
*hunger in the world which is unbareable
*disease taking over many areas
*Natural disastors that seem to increase in severity
*decaying moral values
*know knowledge of the Gospel

Now that is just a list that I came up with some from people around me other items what we know and have seen in this world. It isn't a secret to anyone that there is more violence, street danger, and abuse happening. How many people are afraid of the future and worry constantly about it...or how many people have had their hearts broken and are afraid to trust again. Families are hurting with financial strains, divorce, combined families, and in many families respect and "old" morals are not taught directly. We know that drugs and alcohol abuse is a huge issue growing daily...many people know someone who drinks or does drugs or has in the past. The world in general is hurting...look at the hunger, diseases, and disasters....it is crying out in pain. Lastly Christian morals and the Gospel message is constantly under attack, it  is the "old" ways many see it as irrelevant to their lives today.

So I will not sit here and tell you a lie the hard, cold, honest truth is...."The World's Not Safe Anymore" But how many of those things that were in the list or talked about above can we do something about? Can we work to stop the violence and abuse? What about the drug and alcohol abuse...can we fight that? What about broken or combined families possibly struggling or just with old scares healing...can we be there for them? What about hunger, disease, disasters...can we help support those causes to add them? What about someone who is afraid and worried for the future...can we encourage and support them? What about someone heart broken...can we help them rebuild their ability to trust? Now...what about the Christian morals and the Gospel story....can we help to teach this generation and all people about them and the best story ever told?

How many things above did you answer yes to? Now this isn't a survey or one of those now please support this charity things....this was simply to get you thinking. I pray nightly for God to use me to change this hurting and lost world. But I am one person and can not do everything on my own...who else in this huge world knows that there is more that they can be doing to affect the above things. "The World's Not Safe Anymore"...but there is a place that I pray you will all be in one day that is...Heaven with our heavenly Father God and Savior Jesus who loves each person and hates seeing this hurting and dangerous world.

Who else wants to make a change and try and make "The World Safe Again"? I do...do you?
