Many In One



Why is it so important to have a blog? Are we that desperate for people to read about us?



Well, the question is not about the importance of it but more of why one would create a blog.

Blogging is not something that is compulsory in life. It does not mean that if we do not blog, we will be put to prison or be dumb or even become an antisocial. It is in fact...a choice.

A blog is not important unless it is for the purpose of work or studies or something that makes blogging compulsory. I have had assignments where I'm asked to blog. That is something that you can classify as important and it means marks and if I don't blog, then I shall fail. However, if you mean in the context of a personal blog, started at ones own will, it's a different story.

Some of the many reasons for blogging (that I know of);

- To keep as a journal
- To update friends on what's happening in life
- To release stress
- Just to write (as a hobby)
- To share experiences with the world
- To inspire others

So to answer the question, blogging is not important. And also, whether the blogger is desperate for someone to read their blogs is up to them. Each may have their own personal reasons.

Most importantly is we don't have to follow the flow and blog just because everyone else does. It's a free choice and the choice is yours alone. ( Exceptions; work, school, assignments etc.)





Broken


There is no Heaven on earth. Words may claim there is so. Actions may claim so. Feelings may claim so. Yet all these will fail us and we will come to realize that there is no Heaven on earth.

Some already have. Some have not. Yet all will come to feel it. All will come to know it. All will come to face it. All will come to see it. All will...

When the time comes, will you give in? Will you not stand back up? Will you lie still and not move? Or....will you stand back up? Will you continue to fight?

What will you do when everyone else around you has fallen? Will fall amongst them? Will you run? Will you fight and die honorably?

What would you do? How will you know? Who will you look to? When will your turn come? Where will it occur?

Pain. Many have come to know it personally. Some have known it so well to the point that they no longer want to feel it. Even so, will it cease completely? Instead, will it get worse? Maybe it'll hurt less the next time?

Whatever it is, pain is a part of life. Without it, life is just not life.

As the saying goes, "If it doesn't break us, it'll only make us stronger."

How true is that? Tell that to those who downed a whole bottle of sleeping pills. Tell that to those who hung themselves from the ceiling. Tell that to those who jumped from buildings head first.

Not everyone can live with it. One did go through it all more than we can ever imagine. Yet, in the end, He too died.

Human as we are, live is never easy. It will never be easy.

I pity those who hurt. But I pity more those who don't.




Lost


You answered when I asked.
You gave.
You guided when I was lost.
You showed.
You lifted me up when I was down.
You healed.
You came when I called.
You never left.

Thanks alone will not be enough.

So many things were done for me and yet I fail. Yet I fall. Yet I break. Yet I die.

Still, I stood up again. I walked again. I ran. I lived.

And I did not do it alone.

I thank You O' Lord for being there with me all this while. When I asked Father, You gave. When I prayed Father, You answered. When I was lost Father, you came and guided me back onto the path. When I was weak Father, You gave me strength. When I was worried Father, You calmed me. Forgive me Father, I have sinned against You. You gave so much and I took as much yet I gave nothing in return. Help me Father. I need You in my life ever more now. What shall I do? Where shall I do it? When shall I do it? To or with who shall I do it with? How shall I do it? Father, am I even worthy to do it? Speak to me. I long to hear Your voice once again. I long to see You clearer than ever before. I long for You O' God. I seek You with an un-whole heart yet You touched me. I have lost my way. I pray of You Father, guide me back. Let me hold Your hand once again. Let me bask in Your might. In Your power. In Your presence. In Your love...
Nothing else matters Lord. You are all I need. You are all I want. Forgive me Father for I have been unworthy. Bless my family and friends God for they have been a blessing unto me. Even though there have been ups and downs. It was all in Your plan for me. Father, I'm sorry. Amen.
