Fighting for me. . .

 I need the kinda love that outlast the night
I need the kinda love that is willing to fight  
When the going gets tough
And my strength's not enough
I see You showing up like never before
This battle for my heart
You are the peace when my mind's at war
And oh

Why do we seek love in the wrong places? We come to realisations that we make mistakes. We are not as strong as we think we are. But why would anyone really know? I cannot remember the countless times that I was lead to believe that things were, but never really were. Who is battling for your heart right now? There might be someone who is trying to lay claim to it. There might be someone who is trying to discourage you from seeking the love you deserve in your life. Who shows up for you when you least expect it? 

You will never stop fighting for me
When I can't fight for myself
Every word is a promise You keep
'Cause You love me like nobody else
You stand up for me in the darkest night
When my faith is weak You're still by my side
You will never stop fighting for me
You will never stop fighting for me

I write this with tears streaming down my face. God has never forsaken me in all of my dark moments There have been many. There are probably more to come, but you know what, that's what this earthly realm offers - times of trial to test you during those darkest nights. When people let you down or you beat yourself up about spectrum of foibles to unreasonable behaviour, what do you do to seek that peace of mind that this world cannot give? I have always felt reassured by God's presence in my life. Sometimes I forget Him, being distracted by situations and circumstances that steal my focus away. 

In the perfect timing You make all things right
You paint a silver lining in this heart of mine
When the going gets tough
And my strength's not enough
I see You showing up like never before 
This battle for my heart
You took on from the start
You are the peace when my mind's at war
And oh

If you know me well, you will know that I can be an impatient person. This character trait stems from frustration when things or people take too long to get to an outcome or output. In those moments, I am reminded of God's perfect timing to make all things right. I need to remember this when tough times come knocking at my door. How do we how much more strength we need to battle those who seek our demise? Trust in God to show up. I believe this to be completely true. Even when I forget along the way and I let despair override hope, faith and love that He has promised me if I choose Him first. 


You will never stop fighting for me
When I can't fight for myself
Every word is a promise You keep
'Cause you love me like nobody else
You stand up for me in the darkest night
When my faith is weak You're still by my side
You will never stop fighting for me
You will never stop fighting for me

Are you fighting for someone right now that doesn't even know? We can only do so much to help others when they cannot help themselves. We expect love from people who are not capable of doing so. God has taught me that His love is enough, not only sufficient, but complete. I have conversations with God that make me laugh, and I wonder, does He laugh too? Sometimes when I go through the processing moments in my head, I can hear His voice clearly. Sometimes I hear Loma's voice and it makes me smile. Are you able to be someone who stands by someone's side, still be there like God has?

Your love
Is winning me over
Your heart
Is pulling me closer
Your love
Is winning me over
Your heart
Is pulling me closer

In the complete moments of surrender that I have with God, I always feel Him winning my heart. I push away toxicity and other negative feelings, negative people who are just intent on pulling you away from the purpose and mission that you have been tasked to perform while we are earthside. I surrender all to He who has given me life, the God of my parents and forefathers who believed in the hope of salvation. Will we ever feel some complete peace until we do this? What is holding you back from knowing yourself completely in this way?

You will never stop
Fighting for me, fighting for me
Every word is a promise You keep
Ohh, yeah
You will never stop fighting for me
When I can't fight for myself (when I can't)
Every word is a promise You keep (ohh)
'Cause You love me like nobody else
You stand up for me in the darkest night (You stand up for me in the dark)
When my faith is weak You're still by my side (yeah, yeah, my sides)
You will never stop fighting for me
You will never stop fighting for me

I hope that you trust in the lifepath of your journey. We too often focus on the perceived success that masks the real purpose of suffering, trials, in order to understand and appreciate your own humanity.  I can tell you that what I thought I had planned for my life - hasn't panned out. And you know what? I'm ok with that. Why? Because I know that I need to exercise patience. I know that God never breaks His promises with me. But mostly, and good to remember when I need to the most, I will always know that when I fail myself, when I think I fail at life, God is always fighting for me. . .

To be loved by you. . .

To be loved by you is like a breeze Like the summer rain falling through the trees Like the waves that's crashing on the seas, it's easy To be loved by you is like a song Playing in your head you can dance along Like running away with the dawn, it's easy Like flowers bloom, Like my love for you It's been a long time between blog posts. So much has happened since I last reflected about life around me through music. If you have read my blog posts before, then you would know that you are meant to play the YouTube clip (see below) while you read.  I stumbled across this new song that was released today. It's Anzac Day in Aotearoa New Zealand so it's also an opportune time to reflect on the service of our countrymen for peace in previous wars. There is something oddly familiar and comforting about this melody, this song. The whole vibe drew me in and I've always been a huge Emily King fan. Are you currently with someone who helps you feel this way? What is it lik...

Masterpiece (Mona Lisa). . .

My eyes ain't used to these rays I'm feeling exposed but I hide no more I can't hide As the sun shines on all of my glory My flaws don't look so bad at all What was I so afraid of? No matter how hard you try to hide, or try to be inconspicuous, it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. Trying to be lowkey when you are on high profile horizons is ridiculous. When your skills, gifts and talents thrust you into the spotlight, you know that you have a responsibility to do your best at all times, because it is no longer about you - it is about who you represent. You might be afraid that your failures and trauma, including your human flaws will all be on display for the world to see - but who has not lived an imperfect life? Why are we afraid of being exposed? Society teaches us to conform and be uniform. Sometimes all we need to do is insist on being comfortable with all our decisions, no matter where they lead us or where we were placed - because our flaws aren't as...
