If at all you can sing : IMPACT LIVES!

This was on the first of June:I am seated watching Groove Awards, and I am feeling quite low. First part, nothing much to excite me, considering the fact, that most of the music is new to me, and the dancing styles, mh?

I watch through to the end, but the culmination is great!

The male artiste of the year does deserve it, Congratulations to one Willy Paul. His latest song is my favorite. Its title, “You Never Know” is very encouraging.

A lady named Yvonne Makena, who I know in person (we are in the same band at campus, and in the Journey too) won the “Worship Song of the Year” award  too. I am very proud of her, as I have had a chance to interact with her in our campus band, “The Journey” and elsewhere too.

Well, this is supposed to be a poetry blog, I suppose? Aha! Music is poetry too!

Right now I am listening and singing out Chris Tomlin’s new album, “Burning Lights”. I have enjoyed song to song, oh my! Many Blessings to you, Chris (If you ever get to see this!)

Sigh! Are you still with me, never mind, I won’t lose you somewhere along the way. I was just telling you about Grove Awards 2013 in Kenya!  The bottom line is,

If at all you can sing, IMPACT LIVES!

Oh yes,  it was Saturday night, here in Kenya.

How To Achieve Peace

Reblogged from Why I Believe in God:

Click to visit the original post

Peace! We all long for peace, right?

You and I, everyone wishes we could live in a more peaceful world. Peace is important to our lives; it is actually essential for our happiness, but how can we achieve it?

Here, I am not talking about the peace that arises from the ashes of a war, after innocent people have been killed and their houses destroyed.

Regret?

You Are Everything (Matthew West song)

You Are Everything (Matthew West song) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Is it true that the best things that happen to us are unplanned? Well sometimes it’s true.

 

I would like to share the lyrics to one of my favorite songs, by Matthew West, “Child of the One True King”

Verse 1:
Hello, my name is regret
I’m pretty sure we have met
Every single day of your life
I’m the whisper inside
That won’t let you forget

Hello, my name is defeat
I know you recognize me
Just when you think you can win
I’ll drag you right back down again
‘Til you’ve lost all belief

These are the voices, these are the lies
And I have believed them, for the very last time

Chorus:
Hello, my name is child of the one true King
I’ve been saved, I’ve been changed, and I have been set free
“Amazing Grace” is the song I sing
Hello, my name is child of the one true King

Verse 2:
I am no longer defined
By all the wreckage behind
The one who makes all things new
Has proven it’s true
Just take a look at my life

Chorus:
Hello, my name is child of the one true King
I’ve been saved, I’ve been changed, and I have been set free
“Amazing Grace” is the song I sing
Hello, my name is child of the one true King

Bridge:
What love the Father has lavished upon us
That we should be called His children
I am a child of the one true King

What love the Father has lavished upon us
That we should be called His children

Chorus:
Hello, my name is child of the one true King
I’ve been saved, I’ve been changed, and I have been set free
“Amazing Grace” is the song I sing
Hello, my name is child of the one true King

I am a child of the one true King

The lyrics are from http://www.metrolyrics.com/

I shared this lyrics because of those days that you plan to do some things, and everything fails to materialize, and you end up doing something else, that was totally unplanned, but you still gain something you would never have, don’t you?

Unfair Critism

I recently had someone criticize me. I have really been thinking hard about it, and no matter how hard I try to look at it from a positive point of view, I still think it was unfair. I would like anyone with posts on Unfair criticism to kindly comment on the same, as I would like to see what you have to say on this, and of course, everyone too!

But as I always say, it’s better poetically done!

criticism

A quiet night,

What a frustrating day it has been!

Seated at home,

All alone,

After forgiving myself,

And ridding myself of the bad events of the day,

I decide it’s time to do what I love most,

What I am doing now,

Yes,

Precisely,

Writing for an audience,

Or for no one in particular.

I am anxious,

Yea,

In the middle of the night,

I wake up,

I hope it’ll be okay,

I keep telling myself.

The following day,

I wake up,

Anxiety can’t let me sleep.

No results yet,

Anxiety keeps me waiting,

And finally the results come,

What?

Are you for real?

For a while,

I feel it’s unfair.

I keep doing the analysis,

It’s been two days,

And my verdict remains,

UNFAIR CRITICISM.

I do not say this in pride,

But,

I am more careful now,

Thanks to the criticism,

Though unfair.

What do you think of Unfair Criticism?

Inner Peace

Naturally or is it via adoption?

Many of you are like me,

Aren’t you?

Always on the move,

Never stopping,

If not moving,

Your brain is at work,

Whether in bed,

Walking,

Working

Or wherever,

Whenever.

But,

Boom!

The stop sign glares,

But I am speeding,

I can’t stop,

NO!

Not now,

Some time.

But when you finally stop,

In the middle of chaos,

And let you free,

And you can rest,

Yes, rest.

Your cares are given to someone greater,

Someone stronger,

Someone who loves you,

And wants the best for you!

And you get up stronger,

Happier

Enthusiastic,

And in the midst,

Of crazy things,

The inner peace will keep you.

Behind the scenes (The story)

Let me tell you about me, I love being busy. I am very young, and a student too. I will do several things at a go, and I rarely rest. If I am not on the move, my mind is active, weighing options, how to improve things, and all. The problem is I never know when to stop. It becomes hard to get inner peace in the middle of chaos. I sometimes think I may later become a workaholic in future, but I won’t because, I have learnt the importance of inner peace, in the end, it gives you strength to move on, and it’s the greatest, priceless thing on earth, and probably beyond!

All your eggs? Part 2 Facts and assumptions

English: The Sloping Sea Assumptions are what ...

English: The Sloping Sea Assumptions are what you don’t know you’re making. If you orient yourself by the strata in the cliffs at Flamborough Head, you may find yourself reaching odd conclusions! (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

 

Yes, here I am and having resolved my internet issues, it feels great.  I promised to tell you why you shouldn’t put your eggs into one basket, and obviously, you could trip and fall, and all of them could break. Of course, I didn’t let you get anxious just to tell you that.  Here is the story behind it: (Of course, it’s a poem)

Everything new,

Oh something new,

Is very exciting,

Stimulating,

And downright exhilirating.

 

The assumptions remain just that,

Assumptions,

And oops,

They are the ones that,

See you go belly up.

 

Yea it’s a wild ride,

Until you crash,

And oops,

Reality hits so hard,

The assumptions laid bare,

And truth is the hardest thing.

 

For a while,

You are in a paralysis,

But you slowly get up,

Bruised,

Injured,

And disappointed,

But wiser.

Uncontrolled Facts

Oh, the story,

I got excited about a new way to get income, a few weeks back. I went for it with full energy, but when it previously assumed issues came into play, I literally was crushed, and had to sit down and look at it more critically. Yes, with perspective, I have learned to sit down and isolate the facts and assumptions! A basic summary.

All your eggs?

eggs

Well dear readers here I am, still resolving my Internet access issues. That however, does not hinder me from posting something for you to read, and comment on. Today, I really do feel obliged to post a poem as usual, but that will be my point of view. Kindly suggest topics you would like me to write on in your comments. That’s my request to you, and with a smile, I say an advance thank you.

I would like to share a thought or insight, though.

Over the weekend, I learned two very important things:

1. Don’t put all your eggs into one basket

2. The Importance of inner peace

I will talk more on these two issues, and probably tell you the story behind them.

Thanks,

I am looking forward to your comments.
