Death of Impossibility

Hope is the death of impossiblity and the beginning of joy kept in the heart of something that is not seen but sure to happen; it is what you hold on to when there's nothing left to clutch on to; it is what awaken dead hearts; it is ignoring any discouragement; it is what makes you pursue something with passion; it is what keeps the ship sailing through the nights; it is what is across the sea that opens in a new world.



"Hope is the thing with feathers 
That perches in the soul, 
And sings the tune--without the words, 
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard; 
And sore must be the storm 
That could abash the little bird 
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land, 
And on the strangest sea; 
Yet, never, in extremity, 
It asked a crumb of me."

~ Emily Dickinson, Hope

"The word which God has written on the brow of every man is Hope."

~ Victor Hugo from Les Misérables

Something I don't Know

If there's something I don't know it's you
Even if I try and try to guess
If there's something I can't find; it's you
Even if I try and try to search

You were destined to be a mystery for a time
If there's something I know it's trust
You were destined to be revealed someday; if at all
If there's something I know it's hope in Him

You are something I don't know
Not because I don't want to
But because I don't have to
You are something I don't know

We always want to know what's next
But there are things we can't know yet
If there is one thing I can't know yet
You are something I can't know yet

Not because I don't want to
But because I don't have to
Not because I don't want to
But because there is "a time for everything."

I fear the day that time comes
But yes when it comes
You can be such a man
A man whom I love

Unveil

       I don't know this song well. But as I was reading through 2 Corinthians 3 about Jesus unveiling our blind eyes so that we no longer walk in darkness but in His light. We were once blinded by religion (good works, etc.), by worldly passions, and even personal dreams. But now we are no longer under religion or law but under God's grace in Christ Jesus who will unveil our eyes if we choose to let Him. Once our eyes our opened we are set free and little by little see His glory working in our lives.


By Jeff Deyo


I know as I envision
Your never ending power
Your splendor is more
Than I can imagine

I’ve heard of Your perfections
But I’ve been blind to You
Open my eyes
Open my ears
Open my heart

CHORUS
Unveil my eyes
So I can see Your glory
Unveil my eyes
So I can know You’re here
You’re here

Your love, it overtakes me
And makes me who I am
As I am undone
In light of Your glory

Bridge
Take apart this world
That I have made
Make this heart aware
Of more than me
Reveal to me the depths
Of who You are
And come and teach me like a child
To trust Your heart


As He unveils our eyes I pray that He show us that life is not just about us but Him. Every decision we make and situations we face it will help us trust His heart's plan and not ours. When we do we are sure that it is always in good hands.
