Whilst breathing in
the warm aroma of
a smooth cup of coffee,
the perfect company will
woo me and warm my heart.

I wish, I wish...with all my heart I could be there this very moment..

Who is Jesus? Who is Jesus to you? Think about it. If you don't have a quick answer you might have to wonder about how strong a [relationship] you have with Him.
Often times when people are asked about their faith, what it means to them, they turn to answers their parents, their church leaders or to something somebody once said or might have said. To me the problem has become obvious only recently. I got a little story for ya: There's this one boy who is completely captivated by his girl; which inspires him to let her know exactly how he feels about her. He therefore becomes entirely engrossed in writing a romantic letter, where he sincerely expresses his love and everything she means to him. Fair enough. Well, there's this other boy who also decides to write a love message to his special girl. However, instead of digging his insides and earnestly contemplating what this one girl means to him, he decides to simply "borrow" some lines from the letter the first boy wrote, which was meant for one recipient only. Every line in that letter carried a pureness and genuineness that cannot be directed or conveyed to or by anyone else. Tsk Tsk.
Nobody wants dirty second-hands, nor feigned hollow words. Hence you have to individually search your heart, dive into the core of your self and really ponder on your unique bond/relationship with God. Once that bond is tight and lucid I believe you will be able to veraciously answer "Who is Jesus?" for yourself without falling back on answers made by others. You'll have with you personal evidence. Indubitably knowing what Jesus is to you is like knowing you have a secret weapon or a special gift that only a few people actually seek to have--it's comforting and oh so sweet.

I'm tearing up at the seams.
Slowly coming apart.
Losing my composure.
My controlled-chaos has now
began to spill...

Do you ever wonder as you're driving where the other cars in the street are heading? I do. I just realized that may make me odd, but the unknown stimulates my curiosity. Did they wake up knowing exactly what way they were going stepping out their house? Have they deviated from their initial plan? What song are they listening to? Are they as happy as they seem? Have they wondered about their own lives? Have they changed their course so much that they can't even remember where they were going or what direction they're on? Hopefully you don't ever find yourself staring into the rear-view mirror regretting the path you decided to take and where you've ended up. And if that's the case, that you can find your way home. Think of this as your car representing your life. Don't lose yourself in the traffic or in this world full of billboards (distractions/temptations).

Hitting the grind again and getting back in shape sure is a big hassle..or should I say a big hustle! And painful! But it must be done.

It's pretty incredible how certain songs have the ability to bring you back to a specific era in your life. Walk into a store, turn on the radio, pop a random mix CD and music will be there...like subtle reminders of what you once lived. Clearly life is not biased to the good times, and therefore songs may carry messages from the past that sting. Songs can also instigate sudden reminiscing and flashbacks that are not necessarily pleasant or wanted. Time engraves feelings and thoughts of that time to every word in that song whether they make you smile or cringe. Every time a song has the power to transport me in time and bring along all those exact feelings for a ride, I'm caught dumbfounded, bewildered, startled, baffled, dazed, stumped... because the lyrics of those songs encouraged me, put into words what was going on in my heart, helped me bash a boy til I had enough or to elaborate the blissful butterflies I felt. In essence, songs could very much be like Sour Patch Kids candies-- sour at first, but with time become sweet memories.
