Put Forth The Effort

You can’t go after something if you don’t put forth the effort… Don’t run unless your shoes are tied…

When I’m Around You

Call me crazy, call me whatever you want
But when I am around you, I feel happy
When I am around you, I hear love songs
I hear all those words, that bubbly feeling you get in your stomach, you know??
That look in your eyes that makes me wonder if you feel the same way that I do

Time is ticking away…
You are slipping further away from me
Hold on, to love.
Hold on, don’t let go of me
I want to show you how to care, how to show love and feel happy.

Don’t stand there where you are with that sad look upon your face, I’ll show you how to love, I’ll show you how to love.
Tell me you feel the same way I do.

Time is ticking away…
You are slipping further away from me
Hold on, to love.
Hold on, don’t let go of me
I want to show you how to care, how to show love and feel happy.

These words are running through my mind.
They haunt me like a thief in the night.
It seems, only like I can hold them in…
Only for a little while longer, can I hold in what words speak to me truthfully, until I let them out on accident and they spill out of my mouth like paint spills out of a can, because I am falling for you.

It’s so true, that smile you give me and I give you…
That feeling of, I love you…

Call me crazy, call me whatever you want…
But when you come around…

Late Night Thoughts…

And the lightening lit up the night sky as the rain danced on the roof, everyone is asleep and all I can do is think of you, nothing good happens after 2am but the night is so peaceful all I want is to enjoy the calm, someday my other half will cross my path and all the dreams will be a reality, until then I will walk through this life day to day serving God and praying, someday I will see his face and know that he will show me 1Corinthians13:4-7… for now all I can do is think about you. -Stephsaidthis God knows the truth.

The Starting Line

Where is the starting line??

It looks different for everyone…

No matter where you are in your life it is never too late to start.

You start when you stop doing what is wrong.

You can drive down the wrong path for only so long, until you have to turn around.

So where is your starting line??

Where will you turn around??

Not Looking Like A Fool

Stand there staring.

Go ahead…

You think that you can please her, with money and romance, you can give her whatever she wants, whatever she asks for…

Looking like a fool.

She looks at you, trying to figure out why you think of her the way you do.

Trying to figure out why guys do the things they do…

Looking like a fool.

He walks out of her view.

She’s like, Call me maybe??

Looking like a fool.

She doesn’t get it, she thinks… maybe

She puts her glasses on and sees him the way Jesus would.

Thinking the way she should.

Not looking like a fool.

She sees a broken heart, from a girl that didn’t treat him right, a guy that has been put down, and pushed aside.

She sees a guy that needs someone to reach out to him, to show him how to care.

To show him patience, kindness, and trust.

No more lust.

May all his hurt, turn to dust.

Not looking like a fool.

Follow your heart young lady.

Show him compassion, how to be patient, and how to love.

Show him that not all women manipulate, not all women want to hurt, and take money from him.

Young man, turn around.

Greet her with a smile, and some common sense respect.

She has her glasses on.

Yeah, don’t you remember those glasses that you let get dirty and worn and through out and started thinking with doubt, lust, and hurt.

Not looking like a fool.

Put your glasses on and follow the right path to her heart.

Not looking like a fool.

Go man!! Show her that you are not a fool, that you will not let her go…

Running In Slow Motion

Wake up for a new day

Get prepared to face judgement

You go to school and everyone is looking at you like you don’t belong

The name calling

The frustration that you feel

You want to just run away from all of the pain

Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run.

Looking for the light… a way out.

Running in slow motion.

The hurt you go through is unreal, trying to learn who you are and what you believe in.

Your colors bleed.

Looking for acceptance from others, but you can never settle on the truth.

God is enough.

You don’t have the friends, you think that everyone in the world hates you and that no one cares.

Running in slow motion.

You are just trying to be yourself.

People think that you are being weird, because being you is so different.

You are so unique.

You stand out in a crowd.

You shine bright.

Running in slow motion.

You come to realize that what everyone thinks is weird, is because they, themselves don’t know how to be normal.

They don’t know how to be themselves

You think they know all of the answers, but truly they are wearing masks to be socially accepted, so they won’t feel neglected.

They are running in slow motion.

Running in slow motion.

Being a follower of the ways of the world, is not the way to live life.

A slave to the world.

Just know that someone died the death of deaths so that you don’t have to live in sin.

You don’t have to live your life wrapped up in the lies of the world.

To every hurting boy, to every lonely girl.

Someone has to wake up the world.

Running in slow motion.

“Kids these days” the saying goes on and on as we shake our heads, instead of praying for their problems.

We go on with our life as if we have no way to stop them.

We have no way to reach them.

It’s like they speak a new language.

Running in slow motion.

You can help the kid in school looking for acceptance, and being pushed around and shoved like a toy.

Being controlled by the sins of this world, giving in to the desire to have the cars, the money, and all the designer clothes.

Have you thought of this, that the clothes you wear determine your personality.

If your clothes are what you think you are worth, then you are worth nothing to the world.

We say that we have to have it, we need it…

Running in slow motion.

When will you stop running in slow motion??

Running and watching to see if the world sees every move you make…

Every mistake…

The clothes you wear…

Your makeup…

The car you drive…

The list goes on and on…

Are you living for the world??

Running in slow motion.

How much longer??

Run past the lies, and run to God!!

Run!!

Don’t worry about those that glower at you, watching everything that you do.

Run to God, fight for change in this world.

Fight to know the truth.
