The sky was painted with a curtain of black.There were no twinkling of the night jewels as my fingers sped across the black keyboard.The only source of light in my bedroom was the glow of the computer screen,and the only sounds that could be heard were the soft hum of the CPU,the constant ticking of the clock,the flurry of keys being pressed on the keyboard and the occasional car passing my street.I was beginning to get frustrated;the thoughts in my head just weren't coming out right.The sentences in the confined box of my monitor screen seemed awkward,out of place.I ran my fingers through my almost shoulder-length hair and let out a huge sigh.I leaned back in my chair and stretched,my muscles sighing with relief.Glancing at the round,red wall clock,I was surprised to see that it was already past 3 a.m.I'd been typing non-stop for almost 4 hours.That's a new record,I thought.I walked into the small,cream-coloured ceramic-tiled toilet in my room and splashed some water on my face.I felt a slight shock as the icy cold water came in contact with my skin.As my gaze fell upon the reflection in the white-framed square mirror,I noticed there was a brown paper bag hanging on one of the multi-coloured clothes hook.That's odd,I don't remember seeing that before.I turned around to inspect the object that caught my attention.I reached out and took the bag off the hook.I sat on the toilet seat and peered into the bag.The walls of the brown bag were lined with a thin,tissue-like paper.As I put my hands in the bag to take out its contents,I felt my fingers grip on...........
What should 'I' take out of the bag?Something scary?Nice?Surprising?You decide,and I'll come up with the continuance of the story.=P

New Sight
The evening sunlight peeked through the leaves on the big tree outside the house,causing them to look translucently green.The red leaves looking like a fire,blazing through the day.Beauty beyond comparison.Things that have always been there,suddenly look brand new again.The scent of the air,tinged with a mild perfume of hope for the days to come.Gone is the awkwardness of not knowing where I'm headed,replaced with new determination for the road ahead.The breath that I didn't realise I was holding,finally released.I'm free to roam again,without any weights holding me down.The unquenchable desire to gain new experiences and touch new lives,grows even more to an alarming height.The roads are flooded with people,moving with time,accepting all that is given to them.Without questions,expecting no answers.I shall be the one to question,and I shall be the one in search of answers.

Hope:Never Changing.
In the dark;when no one's looking,
In the dark;when no one's listening,
I'm calling out to You.
Day and night;things look so different-
They're not,what they really seem,
But with You,my Lord and King,
You're never ever changing.
All around the world,
People sing Your praises.
All around the world,
People stand in awe of You;
Hoping for a lifetime,spent with You,
My everything.
Jesus,You have captured,
My heart and my soul.

Love Story
This is my own love story,
It reminds me of all I have for me.
This is my love story,
Starring only You and Me.
Nothing in the world can take this feeling away,
Nothing in the world can say we're not OK.
'Cause I am,now that I have You.
You alone are my Jesus,
You alone are my King,
You and I,we belong,
You and I,I do more than dream.
This is my own love story,
It tells me all I am is ME.
This is my love story,
It keeps me standing on my feet.

On the run again...where will it lead me to this time?
Running with all her might,she's trying to escape from the one enemy she can't tear herself apart from.The one she fears is one so close to her.One she knows so well,but can't defeat.The blurs of the buildings and people around her;they look so familiar yet somehow she couldn't piece them together.They try to reach out to her,desperately trying to bring her back from that unknown land.Contaminated with hatred and anger,filled with despair and brokenness.She wasn't letting herself go.She's holding herself down,stopping her from living her life.The fear of who she is;the person no one knows about.That person was constantly finding her way to the surface and attempts to take her place in a life that wasn't her own.Who was this person everyone once knew?Where had she gone?
I've been hiding from my own self all these years.So afraid of who I'd become,of who I would be in future.Will I be who everyone expects me to be,or will I be just plain and simple me?What more can they take from me?All that's left of me is this puppet,controlled by the ways of the world.I desperately try to break free,but the knots tied onto me are too tight.They're suffocating me,preventing me from being free.I'm going through the pathways of life,but it isn't me.I hear voices calling me.Telling me to stay strong.Strong?What is this word?It sounds so familiar,like a friend that was once so close to me,but got ripped away from me.Each step I take is getting smaller.As I stand on my feeble feet,I feel my body shaking.The helplessness is killing me.I hear laughter behind me.Unconsciously,I hear myself praying to God.Crying out for strength and hope.I turn,but before I can get a good look at the maniac who's keeping me prisoner,I see a bright light.My heart bursts with joy like never before.I never thought I'd actually see this day.
The beautiful trees around me.Tiny rays of sunlight peek through the leaves and branches.Small children are playing near a crystal clear pond.Their melodious laughter ringing in the air.I see beautiful houses decorated with flowers and painted with a shiny glow.The sun and moon both hung in the sky.Clouds and stars combined to form a beautiful curtain above the horizon.The grass below my feet are covered with tiny diamond dewdrops.A sweet scent hung in the air,leaving a peaceful and loving atmosphere all around me.All I felt like doing was singing,dancing with joy.I lifted my arms to feel the warmth of the air,the slight drizzle of rain,a gentle breeze playing with my hair.Everything felt so connected to one another.I've never felt so loved,and yet,the minute I stepped into this place,that's exactly what I felt.I see a man,standing under a tree,observing me and everything around me at the same time.The expression in His eyes,made me start to cry....

Another Untitiled Post
I live to love You,Lord,
I live to bring You praise.
In perfect harmony,
Your children learn Your ways.
To worship You,my Lord,
For all eternity.
To see You have Your way,
In every step we take.
My Lord,my Life,my All,
In everything I do.
I'll look only to You,
In all I live to do.

Everything for You
The sounds of instruments,
All different but joined in one song;
To come and play and sing,
For the glory of You,Lord.
Hearts are beating,
Sweat is breaking,
As we're waiting;
To dance for You,with awe.
All You are,Lord,
Is all we'll ever need.
Nothing else can ever quench,Lord;
This thirst for You that's oh so deep.
Lord,all I do is only for You.
All I can give,I give to You.
Lord,You mean more than the world,
To us lost and longing souls.
