Starting over

1 Corinthians 16:13 & 14, teach us 5 things that are key in our lives:

  • Keep your eyes open; be on guard against spiritual dangers
  • Hold tight to your convictions; standing firm in the faith
  • Give it all you've got; be courageous
  • Be resolute; be strong
  • Love without stopping; doing everything in love and kindness

And you know what, if you fail, if you collapse, if you ruin what you have been striving for, its ok, God understands, God meets you where you at. All you need to do is pray for forgiveness, believe that you have been rescued, accept your convictions, accept that its a new day, and start over.




Start Over: The Afters
The impossible is possible
But your fear is so responsible for keeping you down, keeping you down.
Your unreachable is reachable
But you'll never grab
The wonderful
with your feet on the ground, your feet on the ground

Bridge:
If you fall on your face
Don't just leave it to fate
No such thing as too late
It's not too late

Chorus:
To start over, start over, start over
Start over, start over, start over
You never have what you want to lose
So pick it up, up, up
Dust off your shoes
Start over, start over, start over
Start over, start over, start over
You've gotta find, find, find the other side,
So give it one, one, one more try.
Start over

You only fail
If you never try
You'll never live
Tryin' not to die.
I'm telling you now, I'm telling you now.
Don't ever stop,
Give all you've got
Don't hesitate, to take a shot
It all comes around, it all comes around.


There's so much, so much left to gain
There's so much, so much to lose
You'll never know until know until you make a move.

Start over, start over, start over
Start over, start over, start over
Start over

21 Days

Of fasting, praying, searching, trying to understand

So, from the 2nd of May 2011, there will be a fast from:
Coffee, Sweets, Chocolate, Puddings, Deserts, Unnecessary sugar, Alcohol.
Striving towards clear thoughts, no unholy music, books, media.

A time of reflection, seeking to please the LORD our God and not myself.


God, our God the Father, I commit 21 days to you. 21 days to hear what You have to say, believe what You have in store, and understand what You are saying. I will earnestly seek your voice, your word, your sound. From a raging wind to a tiny whisper, whatever it may be, let me hear it please, oh Lord my God, let me seek your Face...
