These Little Wonders...

Let it go,
Let it roll right off your shoulder

Don't you know

The hardest part is over

Let it in,

Let your clarity define you

In the end

We will only just remember how it feels


Our lives are made

In these small hours

These little wonders,

These twists & turns of fate

Time falls away,

But these small hours,

These small hours still remain


Let it slide,

Let your troubles fall behind you

Let it shine

Until you feel it all around you

And I don't mind

If it's me you need to turn to

We'll get by,

It's the heart that really matters in the end


Our lives are made

In these small hours

These little wonders,

These twists & turns of fate

Time falls away,

But these small hours,

These small hours still remain


All of my regret

Will wash away some how

But I can not forget

The way i feel right now


In these small hours

These little wonders

These twists & turns of fate

Time falls away but these small hours

These small hours still remain

This song is not particularly a Christian song, but it definitely can be applied to faith.

For two days I have been going to the ends of the earth to try to find an assignment that was mistakenly inserted into someone else's book. It would be my second zero in the gradebook, and it would bring down my grade. LONG story short, on the way to my last chance to turn in the assignment, I decided to trust God. I just thought, "You know what? It's one little grade. God's plan will turn out in the end. One missing assignment is definitely not going to affect my entrance into heaven." So I just trusted God, and in return, I recieved so much inner peace. As I took a seat in the classroom, a girl handed me my assignment. Now how she got my assignment is a whole other story. The point is, once I finally let go of my pride of getting good grades, God took care of them for me!

My point is not that you shouldn't put any effort into anything, and let God handle it all. My point is that we can only do so much. The things we can't control are what we need to trust God with, because he knows what he's doing!

When you are stressed about something of minor importance, or even something large, that is not under your control, trust God to take care of it according to his will. It won't go your way every time, but you can be sure that it's going God's way.

Open to the Truth

Don't be a product of close-mindedness. Especially in matters of the faith, close-mindedness can shield the Truth from your heart. If there is a subject that makes you think or question what you believe, don't ignore it or block it out. This is ignorance. Genuine knowledge is when you are open-minded, and therefore, earnestly seeking the Truth. So look into the things that question your beliefs, and use your resources to see whether you believe that they really are the Truth or not.

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, only what GOD thinks. So BE yourself, and DO what's right.
