I can’t keep up

I am trying to.

But every passing day feels

Like I’m fighting a losing battle

Everything is burdensome- even breathing.

They say do more of the things that make you feel alive (or is it happy?)

But what happens when

Even those things mean nothing at all?

What happens when I just oscillate from numbness to pain and back?

What am I supposed to do then?

I can’t keep up

People are supposed to

Know how to balance activities… responsibilities

But all I can do at best is one thing a day

And most days the best I can do is try and keep breathing.

They say count every little thing a success- even breathing

But what happens when

What’s expected of me is more than to just stay alive?

What happens when staying alive actually means

Living up to a whole lot of expectations

And yet I have no strength or will to do anything?

What am I supposed to do then?

I can’t keep up

Isn’t it better for everyone if I

Wasn’t breathing at all?

No one will expect anything out of a lifeless body (not even I)

And I don’t mean to be uncaring

But you will heal the broken hearts when I’m gone

Won’t you?

It seems like a much better option

Compared to the chaos that is

My life right now

Fix me.

Or is this my thorn in the flesh?

The one they say never really goes away?

But then if it is

Isn’t your grace supposed to be enough?

Enough for me to live life in abundance

In spite of the thorn?

I’m so far from actually living

To even talk about abundance would be a stretch.

Or is it that I am too blinded to see Your grace?

Show me, then.

Any kind

Because I am slowly fading away

And I don’t think there’s coming back after that.

I’m not issuing threats

I know you don’t work like that

I’m just saying if at all there’s

A reason I should keep breathing

Now would be a great time to let me know.

Please send help.

I really can’t keep up- I have tried.

ABIDE WITH ME

Photo from youtube.com This post is not for one who got it under control. This post is not for you who thinks you have to do a number of things to get God's attention. This post is not for one who already has a list of this years resolution and is willing to make everything work. This one today is for you who only knows that God is with you and that is all that matters. One who is aware of the new year but still has a junk of the previous years trying to weigh them down.

YOU NEVER LEAVE ME

Umeahidi ewe Bwana huniachi (You have promised oh Lord that you never leave me) Hadi mwisho wa dahari ulisema huniachi (To the end of ages you said, you will not leave me) Wewe ni Mungu uliye mwaminifu siku zote (You always a faithful God) Mimi ninaiweka Imani yangu kwako Bwana (I put my faith on you Lord) Today I just sat down and remembered the faithfulness of the Lord. These are the wings I needed to soar with in this new month.

PEOPLE

We all care. Most of us like to say we do not really care what anyone thinks about us but truth is that deep down we really do. It's just that some of us have slowly been sucked into approval addiction while some have gradually realized that it really shouldn't matter that much so we try not to let others' opinions sway us. All the same, even those of us who claim not to care actually want everyone to believe that we are unmoved by their opinions so really, it's a big deal. 123rf.com They are the best and the worst you've created Loving and hating and opinionated Loners in basements and those congregated Deliver me... Far from the peace, from ashore I was sinking Deep in the ocean of thoughts they were thinking Don't know what  validation I was seeking Deliver me from... I believe there's nothing wrong with caring about opinions. Because sometimes we're able to change our lives' direction for the better because we listened t

REMEMBER

Image
Sometimes things go dark. So dark that life ceases to make sense... Sometimes things go wrong and just when we think they can't get any worse they actually do... Sometimes we get weak...or as we like to say, life happens. This song, I believe, is for those times when life happens. Because those are the times we are prone to forget the truth we very much proclaim to know. Those  are the times we question our faith in God, we question His love for us, we question the very Words we so clearly heard Him speak to us. This song is a reminder to never forget in the darkness what we know to be true in the light. Cheta, Cheta (remember, remember)

OF HONEST PRAYERS...

Image
We've heard it said countless times that when it comes to talking to God, there's no sort of perfect way to it. What matters most is the state of our hearts.  A broken and contrite heart- these, He will not despise. A good number of people say music gets them through pretty much everything. The truth is that music is powerful. However there have been times in my life when nothing made sense. When I say nothing I mean even the songs that would normally be very helpful were simply just nicely arranged words with a melody. I would be in so much turmoil that I’d think of the times when one song or the other lifted my spirit and wonder what changed. Saviour please, take my hand
