Four in two years and still she smiles.

She’s strong, pushes on, can’t slow her down

She can take anything life dishes out

There was a time

Back before she was mine

When I thought I was tough

She’s a gentle word, the sweetest kiss

A velvet touch against my skin

I’ve seen her cry, I’ve seen her break

But in my eyes, she’ll always be strong

There was a time

Back before she was mine

When I thought I was tough

(Lyrics: Tough - Craig Morgan)

I will not be owned...

I can not stop the attack, but I do not have to allow it to comsume me.

To my dad for father's day

I was young but I wasn't naive
I watched helpless as he turned around to leave
And still I have the pain I have to carry
A past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried
After all this time I never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
I would fall asleepOnly in hopes of dreaming
That everything would be like it was before
But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor
After all this timeI never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
After all this whyWould you ever wanna leave it
Maybe you could not believe it
That my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you will ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go

(Lyrics- Lifehouse - Blind)

I forgot about this Kory

I thought this Kory was dead.

I felt unexplainable rage this week like I have not in years.

(Thank you Jesus for suppressing it)

I am praying for continued divine intervention and restoration.

Jesus hear my cry...

How can you see into my eyes

Like open doors?

Leading you down into my core,

Where I've become so numb.

Without a soul,

My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold,

Until you find it there and lead it back

Home.

Now that I know what I'm without,

You can't just leave me.

Breathe into me and make me real.

Bring me to life.

Frozen inside without your touch,

Without your love, darling.

Only you are the life among the dead.

All of this sight,I can't believe I couldn't see

Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me

I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems.

I've got to open my eyes to everything.

Without a thought

Without a voice

Without a soul

Don't let me die here.

There must be something more.

Bring me to life.

(Lyrics - Evanescence - Bring me to Life)
