I'M NOT BLIND, I NOTICE EVERYTHING.
I notice..when people treat me differently. ..when others tell lies thinking I'd be too dumb to realize...when I'm not part of the plan...when some people act weird towards me...when I'm just an option...when I'm being used for someone else's gain...when kindness has another meaning...when people connive.
I notice everything.
So don't mistake my silence for naivety.
I'm too keen for that.
I'M NOT BLIND, I NOTICE Everything…

One day you'll understand that not everyone is replaceable...

Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said..
A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made..
Or a garden planted..
Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die,
and when people look at that tree
or that flower you planted, you're there..

It doesn't matter what you do, he said, so long as you change something
from the way it was before you touched it
into something that's like you
after you take your hands away..
The difference between the man who just cuts lawns and a real gardener is in the touching, he said..
The lawn-cutter might just as well not have been there at all..
the gardener will be there a lifetime..

"For the unfamiliar roads we have passed,
The strangers we have helped,
The anxieties we have overcome,
And the promises we have kept.

For the regrets,
For the loves we lost,
For the fears we met,
For the memories that ache,
And the hope that remains.

For the joy that we celebrate,
And the sadness we hide.
For the love and happiness
And the wild pursuit of our dreams.

May we all become stronger,
And prouder and better,
And genuinely grateful.

For there is much more to come."

"Just Be Held"

Hold it all together
Everybody needs you strong
But life hits you out of nowhere
And barely leaves you holding on

And when you're tired of fighting
Chained by your control
There's freedom in surrender
Lay it down and let it go

So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away
You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
Your world's not falling apart, it's falling into place
I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
Just be held, just be held

If your eyes are on the storm
You'll wonder if I love you still
But if your eyes are on the cross
You'll know I always have and I always will

And not a tear is wasted
In time, you'll understand
I'm painting beauty with the ashes
Your life is in My hands

So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away
You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
Your worlds not falling apart, its falling into place
I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
Just be held, just be held

Lift your hands, lift your eyes
In the storm is where you'll find Me
And where you are, I'll hold your heart
I'll hold your heart
Come to Me, find your rest
In the arms of the God who won't let go

So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away
You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
Your worlds not falling apart, its falling into place
I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held (stop holding on and just be held)
Just be held, just be held, just be held, just be held
