Sometimes...

There are days that I wish that I could bring back things I have done or words that I said. There are days that I wish that I didn't think the way I did. Especially when I am in the wrong side of things. Or that is what I think.

There are times that I wish that I live in my own little world and not be concerned about anything and everything. There are moments that I wish that there are no responsibilities and I just need to think about my own.

There are periods that I yearn to open up myself and fear not the judgments or the need for explanations. There are times that I desire to retreat and just be quiet at the side. The are times that I wish I am not the one who always seemed to be so understanding and listening and instead be understood and be listened to.

There are momens that I wish that I am not who I am yet knowing that I could not go back to how I was before. There are times that I wish I could cry and not stop until there are no more tears that would drop. Times I wish I am already in the presence of God and remain there in his peace.

Yet that cannot be. Not yet.

I am here on earth. Running the race. Faltering, running out of breath. I only need to reach out for the helping hand. It is there for sure, I know. I just wish I could always have the faith to hold on to it.

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.

Chase the lion.
