don't be so bitter... believe. [21 Apr 2008|05:36pm]
To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

hahah 4435 out of 5863.... poopers!  looking at the stats, it's a little (more than a little) upsetting how there were 70 year olds that ran faster than me. :d  i better get back in shape.

running got me thinking.  there are all these people around you, and all they have is  this one goal -- get to that darn finish line.  if you run with your friends, they won't be by your side for long.  in life it's the same.  we all might start at the same place but eventually we'll run past our friends or they'll run past us.  you mustn't rely on them constantly being by your side because if you do, it won't motivate you to push yourself to the limits.  all you've got is yourself and your inspirations (mine: God & my ipod "ain't no mountain high enough").  if we stand still, the crowd and the world will continue to move ahead without us.  you mustn't look back for them ... because you'll get trampled... you can only go forward and trust that you'll meet them at the finish.

we have to let go of what is distracting us from getting to that finish line... You are my finish line.  i'm willing to give it all up for You.

caveat: i hope i don't sound too cynical.  i mean if anyone called me to tell me that they needed me, i would definitely stop.  :) i love my friends (:

As I looked back on my old entries, I started to reflect on what type of person I was... I was evil.  My parents and people who cared so much about me thought I was possessed...I think I was.  It's all becoming clear to me now that the reason why I'm going through such a tough time in my life right now is because He wants me to return to Him...to let go of it all.

It's about time.

I wish you could see me now
I wish I could show you how
I'm not who I was
I used to be mad at you
A little on the hurt side too
But I'm not who I was

I found my way around
To forgiving you
Some time ago
But I never got to tell you so

I found us in a photograph
I saw me and I had to laugh
You know, I'm not who I was
You were there, you were right above me
And I wonder if you ever loved me
Just for who I was

When the pain came back again
Like a bitter friend
It was all that I could do
To keep myself from blaming you

I reckon it's a funny thing
I figured out I can sing
Now I'm not who I was
I write about love and such
Maybe 'cause I want it so much
I'm not who I was

I was thinking maybe I
I should let you know
I am not the same
But I never did forget your name
Hello

Well the thing I find most amazing
In amazing grace
Is the chance to give it out
Maybe that's what love is all about

I wish you could see me now
I wish I could show you how
I'm not who I was
