Identity: Ang Bumangga Giba!

 "the same power that conquered the grave lives in me..

Your love that rescued the earth lives in me"

 

falling, stumbling, getting bruised

taken advantage of, used, and abused

i grit my teeth and close my eyes

going through the motion

dragged in the commotion

a victim of machination

'til i can't find myself

new definitions

different descriptions

morbid tattoos in my mind

'til i forget, "who am i?" 

but in the stillness of the night 

in the comfort of the dark

You remind me,

"you are Mine"

and i silently echo, 

"i am Yours,"

the daughter of The King

the daughter of The King

the daughter of The King

i cannot be defeated

nor am i to be tamed

i cannot be broken

nor can i be destroyed

so tomorrow, even if i will be

falling, stumbling, getting bruised

taken advantage of, used, and abused

i will just grit my teeth.

get up.

and fight.

they seriously don't know

who they're dealing with.

 

"and if our God is for us, then who can be against us

and if our God is with us, then what can stand against?"

To My Father in Heaven

 For Father's day, of course, I should give Him glory and honor Him...

I know, I know, it should be done every day but it's a struggle, but today must not be missed...

 

To My Father in Heaven whose love strengthens me and keeps me pushing on,

As flaky, fickle, and hesitant as I am, His constant love keeps me stable and grounded...

 

Thank You for not giving up on me

Thank You for believing in me

Thank You for saying that there is more than this

Thank You for giving me dreams and the strength and courage to reach for them

Without You, I wouldn't know how to live, seriously

I know that I have much to do

That I'm still a work in progress

That much still needs to be healed, corrected, and fixed in me

But You always encourage me to hope 

And You always remind me, that I am Yours

And that no matter what, You love me, no matter what

Thank you.


And I've not been as constant or as faithful as I should be

I know I love running away

And I always try to

But as a writer said, and I'm borrowing his words:

"Sometimes I still run. But I am not so fast as to outrun Your love."

 

Happy Father's Day Pa!!!! =D I love You =D >:D
