It's so dry
Where's the waters of life promised?
Barren lands on which life once stood ever stronger,
Now nothing remains but a dry tree clinging on to life.
Oh this drought of silliness,
How one toils and nothing grows,
Is this land to grow nothing but cactus and barren fruit,
That you wish to curse the sky that never falls rain.
When will rain come to rekindle life?
When will rain come to restore life?
How I missed the days where sweet and juicy fruits grew,
How I missed the days where purpose roamed within these orchards.
All is gone
All is gone
No purpose whatsoever,
Dry and barren this land stands.
Where is the promised rain from heaven,
To lift this accursed land from its God forsaken nature,
Restoring the life of heaven that's due it,
So that it serves the purpose meant under heaven.

E Pluribus Unum
At this current phase of life, I find myself basking in important questions like what am I going to do with my life? How can I be a better person? Why is it I am not who I want to be? Why is my life bordering insanity because of boredom? We search and we search and never seem to find the answer. Somehow doing similar things everyday does seem to have its negative effects on a person. Its in the insanity in the cycle of life that we sometimes long for something more. Some turn to love (or in this age lust), addictions, people, religion to break this insane cycle to get a different gist out of life.
But is there more to this search? Does it truly lie in people, religion, addictions, or lust? Or is there something more. What is the quintessence of this life? What is it that would truly make you whole? Occasionally I feel that it's pointless to ask such questions because no one will answer and even if someone cared to answer there was too much to do to achieve that of which is spoken of. Yet true to its word, out of the many questions, one solution.
There's a hard journey up ahead but when you have such a powerful being backing you, I don't think there'll ever be a problem. As it's written in the bible, If God is for us, who can be against us? {Rom 8:31 NIV}

Jesus's diary
"Carry My Cross"
As long as I remember I've been walking through the wilderness
Praying to the Father
And waiting for my time I've come here with a mission
And soon I'll give my life for this world I'm praying in the garden
And I'm looking for a miracle I find the journey hard but
It's the reason I was born
Can this cup be passed on Lord,
I pray your will be done In this world
Chorus
So I'll carry my cross
And I'll carry the shame
To the end of the road
Through the struggle and pain
And I'll do it for love
No, it won't be in vain Yes,
I'll carry my cross And I'll carry the shame
I feel like I'm alone here
And I'm treated like a criminal
The time has come for me now
Even though I've done no wrong Father, please forgive them
They know not what they've done In this world
Three more days and I'll be coming back again
Three more days and I'll be coming back again
Look at the lyrics of this song. I bet Jesus thought these thoughts when He came. Here's the song hope you guys enjoy it.
