Why this journey

There is a major factor we most often fail to consider when we make plans for the future, that factor my friends, is called Life.In my mind I picture it like the game Hide and Seek.You have a few minutes to find a spot, and Ready or not.. here it comes. Life unravels itself in the most random way sometimes, and regardless of how much we prepare for it, I am learning that there are certain things we will just never see coming.
As Human beings we are all vulnerable to the Whens, Whys, Hows and Wheres that the various circumstances we face throw at us. Sometimes it's just that tiny little piece of the puzzle we are searching for, and other times it's the uncertainty about where to begin.
So I began a journey,a search is to discover what it was in me that was constant. I wanted to know the thing that stands true even when hit with the greatest paradox in life,that immeasurable gap between my dreams and my reality.
This Blog is all about that journey. An attempt to hold unto one thing I am certain was the same the day I was born, and will stay true till I die.
Giving my Life to Jesus has released to me what I believe is the greatest treasure of all times. The best way I can describe it is as, is a Personal mirror of truth.I must admit that my reflection scares me most of the time, for the simple fact that it is perfect.I must admit that I have been bothered by the parallels of what I see and how I feel but slowly I see possibility of these paths merging. This Perfection, I have come to understand to be the way GOD sees me. It is independent of what I have said or not said, what I have done or have not done. It is that part of me that does not fluctuate.
I look deep into this mirror and though what I see must be true, it seems so hard to believe because it is contrary to what i know of myself.
I am hoping that through this journey , I can grow to share God's Perspective which is The reflection in the mirror.It is Clear now and I hope it becomes even clearer, I am just perfect for the Job He has for me.
I hope these reflections, prayers, poems and thoughts will strike a cord in you too and maybe we all can start looking past what Life says about us, to finding our own mirrors and admiring that perfect reflection in the Mirror.

i want to See...

I want to learn to appreciate this gift given to me, Life
I want to see the beauty in the small things
To fill this void that exists not with sweet nothings
But realities independent of the present
Realities Pregnant with possibility
Bound to happen despite weakness
For the mere fact that inheritance is never  really earned
SO, I want to live my right, this gift to be chosen as His
I want to love life for real
Knowing that where i am is okay cause He is more than able to
take me there
To places where like the last piece of the puzzle I am anticipated
And my presence makes all the difference cause only a moment ago,
There was a need.
I guess I am searching for purpose
The Driving force enabling me to cherish every breath
And finally understand the truth that indeed life is a gift
And not just a path in which we learn to observe and battle envy
Never really sinking but not quite swimming
Convincing ourselves our time is yet to come
Though the strokes get harder by the minute
I'm just saying I want to live the life i was born for
Shine bright like this star on my forhead
Sigh in relief that this heart never lied
When  it first perceived that I too was a gift
Accounted For
Wrapped up in time
Delivered in Seasons for a reason
So am i wrong if I'm still looking
For a reason to fight
Cause truth be told, sometimes I see it all go down the drain
And a part of me wonders what there is to rescue
So here i am hoping
 I am hoping for my dreams to come alive
To be filled with colors and depth, sounds and vibrations
 that speak LIFE and stain my very existence with hope
Hope in the Future
Hope that the best is yet to come
Hope that even my imagination cannot fathom 
Giving me the faith the take a step ahead
Towards the Evidence of that i am yet to see.
