These are moments from my heart on the emotions good, bad or ugly to the world of Parenting, Being a Godly Husband or even moments of inspiration as we all strive to become better at who God's called us to be.
Music
Pealing my past like snake skin
Thank you for being soothing enough when I'm crying
Soaking up the "years" from within
Thank you for saying what my heart stumbles with
Stuttering out the pain I want to shake
Thank you for saving my head from disrespect
Wrapping your arms around me when I wake
Thank for covering my soul
Blanketing the warmth I still need
Thank you for showing me an out
With a door to the me I long to be
Careless Whispers
with no care for what damage you've done
One right after the other I can barely catch my breathe
Wondering when the hurt will stop
Or I have the strength to run
As I look around at the debris youve made
I feel like I'm at war
Yet you were once the place I found shelter
And I can barely get myself up off the floor
Your words don't reflect your head
I can't unhear what you've said
But now that your heart is exposed
I will rise out before I explode
Your words are careless
Your tongue caused such a mess
Yet I how do rise from how you've painted me
From the lingering thoughts that pins down what I want to be
Foolin A Fool
I’m sitting here a broken man
I’m sitting here a broken man
I’m sitting here a broken man
Livn my life the best I can
Cause their aint no foolin a fool
when he’s still looking for love
this big bad world has him in ruins
searing for a woman’s heart he’s worthy of
All alone in my mind cause heart is rung
All alone in my mind cause heart is rung
All alone in my mind cause heart is rung
I hope the good lord cured the wrong I’ve done
Cause their aint no foolin a fool
when he’s still looking for love
this big bad world has him in ruins
searing for a woman’s heart he’s worthy of
I’m sick and tired of all the lies
I’m sick and tired of all the lies
I’m sick and tired of all the lies
Tired of wiping the tears I’ve cried

For Once
I’m blown away by the way you love me
After I asked a million times
There’s so much more than I could ever see
I’m fighting to find the words after all my crimes
You found more in me then I could get to
Just need to dig out a place to start
I know now that it’s always been you
Fighting and finding a place in my heart
For once there’s a place in my heart
For once I’m more than just in part
For once I see buried deep reality
Because for once there’s your love inside of me
Its gonna come around, im tired of being down
This love is lifting me, I feel it constantly
Now’s my time to embrace, a love I could never misplace
For once there’s a place in my heart
For once I’m more than just in part
For once I see buried deep reality
Because for once there’s your love inside of me

WHY?
loved instead of just prey
Stand firm in the face of what others expect
so I can look back without regret
Why would I ever settle for less?
How did I get caught up in this mess?
It's the most amazing thing longing for more
Yet when it stares us down we are done for.
I'm capable of love
yet Why do I shove
our life is full of walls and bridges
with a constant feeling like were in braces
The loves we left behind
or the ones that dropped us to seek and find
are still causing damage to the hearts
shackling us from truly new starts
No Time
I could've used that years ago
My patience for you has grown thin
but i see you didn't get my memo.
I can almost feel you mocking me
as you speed up and slow down
Forcing me to live in the memories of where I've been
Instead of basking in a moment that I drown
There's no time for sleep
No time for love and love in my time
There seems to be plenty of time to process
but no time to climb
I'm tired of being at your mercy
Tired of the hands moving forward
I'm consumed with time but none for myself
Only time for the absurd
Gone are the days of winding to keep up with you
I have found that I can never keep up
So I guess submission is my only option
in order to hold my sanity and worship
