He Remains Faithful

HE REMAINS FAITHFUL

In this life friends come and go
Many come but few remain true
Not many will offer a helping hand
When you no longer have the strength to stand

They don’t see you standing at the edge of the abyss
When your heart is full of aches and sadness
Too blinded to see the tear falling from your eyes
Too caught up in their own busy lives to ask why.

But there is one friend who’s always faithful to you
Someone whose love is ever abundant and true
He is the One who’ll stay by your side forever
Wherever you go He’ll be right there.

Though you stumble and make mistakes
He’s still going to be the friend who never forsakes
He shares and knows everything about your life
He remains faithful in happiness and in strife.

Online Dating, Anyone?

Being alone is tough, I know. Getting over a broken heart is tougher. When you had your heart broken, it sometimes feel like you’re never going to fall again, right? But they say there’s a reason for everything that happen in our lives. It could be that, that person was never meant for you. Your one, true soulmate is still out there looking for you too, the way you’re searching for him or her. But then, maybe you aren’t. If you’re not it’s time you do. Nothing’s going to happen if you just sit there twiddling your thumb and hope that one day he or she is going to knock on your door! If you’re not ready to find that someone face to face, then maybe you can go online. Being a bit of an online flirt is not bad. In fact many have found their lifetime partners in these dating sites.

But, sometimes it doesn’t mean you have to immediately find a husband or a boyfriend. Just be open and friendly and see where it will go on from there. Sometimes giving in to this pressure is one of ingredients to a disastrous relationship. Make it light. And if it’s meant to be, it will naturally blossom, bit by bit into real love, and into a lasting relationship. It won’t hurt to give online dating a try, right? You deserve to be happy, but no one can give that happiness to you. You have to go out from your comfort zone and take the first step!

Poetry: If Only...

God's Love

GOD's LOVE

This night more than ever
In my heart is loneliness only You can sever
Never have I felt more alone than now
To move away from this plane, please show me how.

I’ve sought happiness in the wrong places
Compromised in this world of transient graces;
Satisfaction found is but the fleeting kind
How I long to leave it all behind.

My weakness causes me pain; it shrivels my soul in shame
But Lord, You stand by me and never lay on me the blame;
As tears of pain and regret fall from my eyes each night
I can feel Your arms wrapped around me, holding me tight.

You give me comfort like no one else can
You listen to my troubled heart over and over again
You always shine Your light on my way
When no one would give me the time of day.

This night I will find rest in your gentle embrace
Enfold me in your love, in your strength, and everlasting grace.
And should the last breath be taken in the gloom of midnight,
May Your eternal peace encompass me like an everlasting light.

Good Read: The Story of Two Teardrops

When my mind is becoming drained from writing about auto parts, I give myself a little break by reading inspiring stories. This is one story that made an impact on me today. It states realities about love that I never would have been able to put into words. It's from gagirl.com.

The Story of Two Teardrops

Two little teardrops were floating down the river of life. One drop said to the other, "I am the teardrop of a girl who loved a man and lost him." Who are you? "Well, I am the teardrop of the girl who won him."

Love is very strange. Love is unconditional commitment to an imperfect individual. You need it but when you love, it's like destining yourself for pain. You become addicted and dependent on the person. You become strong and at the same time, you open yourself up to being hurt. Love can make you bear any kind of pain and any kind of sacrifice. It can also make you feel stupid and act stupidly. Sometimes when you love and end up giving so much of yourself, subconciously you only discover how much you've given when the person you love hurts you or has to say goodbye.

Then you realize, an important part of yourself is already with that person. It goes away when he leaves and you are left with a sickening, empty feeling inside.

Tears are bound to shed from your eyes no matter how you force yourself to keep them in. Most teardrops ever shed on this earth have been for love or lack of it. When tears dry, a silent loss sticks to your heart for a long, long time.

Well, that's what you get for caring so much about someone. But how can you regret it? To give yourself freely and lovingly is the most beautiful thing you can do. Loving
makes you real. Loving also makes you cry. And that is why a teardrop is also BEAUTIFUL.

Take Life One Day at a Time

Has there been a time in your life when each day that comes seems to be like a battlefield? I felt that way too. The later part of the past year has been pretty hard. At every turn I only seem to make bad decisions. As we all know, once decisions have been made and acted upon there’s really no turning back. These decisions have corresponding results; sometimes the outcome is good, at other times not so good. But as I’ve said there’s no turning back. There are times, during my quiet moments that thoughts like “what if I’ve done things differently” creep into my subconscious.

Thoughts like this keep popping in my head lately but I have to shake them off because they won’t do me any good now. I know I can never bring back what used to be. But, sometimes, in the middle of the night I find tears running down my cheeks, wetting my pillow. I know tears are futile, but, they help ease the pain of regret. And I know the day will come when these tears will dry up. My friend Gellette gave me a good advice, she said “Learn to slow down and see what God’s plan is for you.” That made me think. It’s really true. One of my weaknesses is patience. I find it difficult to wait.

So, now, I had to learn this lesson the very hard way...I made so many mistakes and lost everything that mattered because of it. And now I’m just beginning to pick up the pieces of my life. I’m taking life one day at a time until I find forgiveness in myself and finally rebuild what has been lost...
