The Rescue- Tyler Ward

"Sometimes we all just need to be recued." - written
"I’m running backwards in the rain
Got my hand up for a taxi
I finally got her name
Then we slipped into the backseat

I whisper, “are you okay?”
she nods her head with feeling
I could see the pain
and I can not explain how

[Chorus]
I am captivated by
the way you look tonight
and I’ve seen what you’ve been into

So I will never cross the line
I won’t tell you any lies
I was sent here for the rescue

[Verse 2]
She couldn’t see past his stare, when desire took them over
With a quick and simple prayer she cried, “God bring this to closure”
“I can not take this anymore and I know that what I’m waiting for
is so much bigger, so much better, get me out, please deliver”

So I’m here breaking down your door
Calling out your name
I want to take away the pain
You know I’m here like I was before
Screaming out your name
Waiting for the change

[Chorus]
I am captivated by
The way you look tonight
And I’ve seen what you’ve been into

So I will never cross the line
I won’t tell you any lies
I was sent here for the rescue

[Choir]
Leave your burden, weak and weary, I will lead you home
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound

School blues.

I'm sick.Not of an infection (well right now i am)
Not because of people.
But.
Because of SCHOOL.

I just can't deal with the overload on homework, figuring out what to do on the weekend, (balancing fun and homework) , and oh yeah, i work.
I feel like everything just goes completely wrong. I haven't had a week that has been good. that's a whole month. And I'm the person who just goes even though I'm tired. People are wondering how I survive on so little hours is that i DONT. but I just have to get through the day til its time to go to sleep. Even then I have to stay up doing homework or I have to crunch it in during homeroom, and sometimes I can't deal with it.
I also found out I have a huge Vitamin D deficiency so I have to eat other foods, and they are not helping with my stomach.
People call me lazy but I usually have to do stuff like watch my brother, which involves playing with the poor kid, I have homework and then do chores around the house cause I'm never home on the weekends and I have to make it up.

Also,
I went to Awakening Musical Fest this year and it was awesome! I went with my friends Ashley, Kayla, and Stephanie and we had a great time jamming to people such as Hawk Nelson, Family Force 5, and tobyMac! <- we also heard Jamie Grace sing her song "Hold Me".
That song is so my life.
LYRICS: I’ve had a long day I just wanna relax/Don’t have time for my friends, no time to chit-chat Problems at my job, wonderin’ what to do I know I should be working but I’m thinking of You and Just when I feel this crazy world is gonna bring me down That’s when Your smile comes around Ooh, I love the way You hold me By my side You’ll always be.

I feel like people don't understand that Christians AREN'T PERFECT. We screw up, mess up, slip up, just like EVERYONE IN THE WORLD. The only thing that is different is that we, have a God and His Son to "hold us" while we are feeling this way. One way to put it is that God holds on to your arm, and even if you mess up, he's still going to be holding you.
You may think what you are doing now is so terrible and you can't go back, or even what would people think? "Christians are "supposed" to be GOOD KIDS. PERFECT KIDS." HA. i laugh at that. Christians don't strive to be PERFECT. but we strive to be what God wants us to be.

I challenge you as a reader to figure out what God wants you to be. And how you find that out is to read HIS book, the Bible. You'll figure out that even the most prestigious people in the Bible screwed up. Like Paul.
Paul was originally named Saul. He was hated by everyone. He killed alot of people. He's the poster child of what not to do.  And yet God had a plan for him.
Crazy. No other words to describe it.
