lose yourself

my friend, lani, mentioned something about how "we always lose our way". seems true enough. but nonetheless, we usually will always find a way back if we're with God.

Madea's Class Reunion was outrageously entertaining. lots of stories about people finding their way back in life with God. i love it.

someone get me tyler perry's stuff for xmas.. hahaha. kidding. dont do that! cuz then i'd have to give you something and i'm broke and it aint no joke!

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
"lose yourself - eminem"

everything unchanged by human actions and technology.. emotions, thoughts, special moments, conversations.. they are only once-in-a-lifetime things. yes, we are able to keep track of those things, but we are only left with memories and the longing to relive those wonderful times we've spent with friends, family, strangers..

life is like music. it may take forever to finish or create, but in the end, it's worth all the trouble. living is like creating music because time, effort, and passion, and love are key elements. watching others live their lives is like listenting to music because you're moved by what you hear, impressed with what you see, and need to listen/experience it over and over in order to fully grasp the message under the surface. so you better lose yourself in the music.

lose yourselif in life. it's short. as sister mary said earlier this evening, "our life, under the light of eternity, are short." or something like that.

but dont lose yourself in the things that come with life such as problems, drama, drugs, alcohol, sex.. lose yourself in God. life is worth living when you're living for someone like Him.

do i make sense? maybe i'm just delirious. who knows.
