regret...

"Opportunities flit by while we sit regretting the chances we have lost, and the happiness that comes to us we heed not, because of the happiness that is gone." - Jerome K. Jerome (1859-1927)

"There is no refuge from memory and remorse in this world. The spirits of our foolish deeds haunt us, with or without repentance." - Gilbert Parker (1862-1932)

metamorphosis...

a transformation is required when the time has expired...

come what may...

¹⁸ “Forget the former things;

do not dwell on the past.

¹⁹ See, I am doing a new thing!

Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

I am making a way in the wilderness

and streams in the wasteland.

²⁰ The wild animals honor me,

the jackals and the owls,

because i provide water in the wilderness

and streams in the wasteland,

to give drink to my people, my chosen,

²¹ the people i formed for myself,

that they may proclaim my praise.

Isaiah 43:18-21 (NIV)

QUENCH '10

GOD brought me back around by gettin' me shot down...

THE WORD WHICH WAS SPOKEN FORTH TO ME:

• SESSION 1: get rid of worldly clutter and make space for GOD-ly water.
• SESSION 2: take the cap of pride and ego off.
• SESSION 3: metaphorically & literally - stop performing on stage. WORSHIP HIM!
• SESSION 4: i'm not alone. i'm loved. don't impress the world, all for GOD!
• SESSION 5: GOD sees everything. surrender all. guidance. floodgates opened. joy in the household.

i got quenched, drenched and fixed up with GOD'S wrench. have Your way.

"Have you been quenched, yo?"

City on Our Knees - tobyMac

VERSE

If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave

CHORUS 1
Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It’s all up tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

VERSE

CHORUS 1

BRIDGE
Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
Tonight could last forever
Ooh
Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
As family
We’re family
Oh Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
You and me
Ya, you and me

CHORUS 2
Tonight’s the night

For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a glorious display
'Cause its all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh
If we gotta start somewhere why not here
If we gotta start sometime why not now

Inferno...

oh, LORD! i beg of Thee, don't let it be

just because of me, You're gonna burn down the vicinity?

all the other kids screaming and crying in insanity

won't You just get rid of me? let the other kids be

let them roll around and frolic with nothin' to worry about it

i'll just take the weight upon maself 'cause it was me who started

the inferno, made it higher, made it wilder, made it bigger

made it the shit that is today, not really proud about it!

nothin' to hide, what you see is i got

don't ever doubt it, don't question 'cause you know none about it

don't ask me to explain it 'cause then, you still won't get it

this is just a flurry, no need for you to comment it

no need your opinions, don't wanna know what you think

'cause if you don't understand me, go drown in the sink

dip your head in the water or shove your head in the ground

it doesn't really matter, don't really want you around!
