Freeze Me (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Does the mind have a way of protecting itself
Can we place our hurt on hold
Can we freeze words we have heard
So our hearts don’t feel so cold?
Can we close our ears to the world
Can we shut our eyes from the pain
Can we pretend we feel nothing
Can we say we want nothing to gain?
Can I ask for no news for one day
Can blinders be placed around the heart
Can I pretend that it is yesterday
When nothing tore us apart?
I want to live this one day
Back when we were innocent and young
When playing with a doll or a truck
And Jesus Loves Me Was Sung.

that is the hardest part of all,,,,,,,,,,,in his time…………we as humans are impatient, and i am guilty of this also. i have waited for five years for a nice man, but i guess in God’s eyes this is only moments

I’ve been waiting for 30 years. I still have hope. In the meantime I have developed in so many ways. My life and relationship with God has developed in ways I did not think possible. It crosses my mind sometimes that maybe I am to be like Paul devoting my life to fulfill another purpose. Whatever it is, I’m content but I still have hope.
