Rock My World...



There are moments in our lives

when something happens that

takes our breath away…when

our eyes behold something so

indescribably beautiful…when

a hurt carries so much pain that

you think you won’t ever be

able to heal…when a feeling of

deja-vu comes over you,

making you believe that you

have truly experienced what is

happening this very minute once before…when that first kiss,

from the one person you have loved from afar, finally settles

upon your lips…when resounding joy, creeps up from the tips

of your toes to the top of your head…when a long-lost friend

pops back into your life after an absence of many years…

when a truth hits you smack in the face, and you come to

realize that you probably already knew what it was before

you heard it…when a suspicion is validated…when you know

something isn’t quite right, but you can’t put your finger on

the problem…when you hear the words, “Will you marry me?”

…when you hear the sound of your baby’s first cries…when

you receive that dreaded call in the middle of the night telling

you that your loved one has been hurt or is gone…when a

doctor tells you that you are sick--very, very sick!


Words can carry the weight of the world with them, and once they

are said,can never be taken back. They are thrown out into the

wind to scatter their goodness, or their poison. May we all choose

carefully the words that emit from our mouth – that when all is said

and done, we will be remembered by the love and appreciation

we shared with our loved ones through our wordsand deeds.


Experiences, words, people, places – ROCK MY WORLD! Our

world consistsof so many things, and yet…when one piece of it

falters or we lose a piece ofit, it changes the person we are for

that moment in time. We exalt in joy, orwither in misery. We ask

the questions, “Why Me? Why Now? When will itend?” When

there seems there is no place to go, God is the answer. Why

is it that we fail to think, thank, and ask Him when we need Him

the most? We wait for a tragedy-or a miracle, and then we

remember Him; we pleadwith Him; we implore Him to give us

peace and comfort. He is the source of our strength – He’s

always there for us.


Everything that you may feel is unimportant, insignificant, or

trivial today, will one day sneak up on you with such impact;

you’ll wonder why it took you so long to understand.

‘These are the moments I know Heaven must exist. These are

the moments I have all I've waited for...and I could not ask for

more.’

just one day would it not be nice if there was no war, no hungry children, no sickness, no death, no fear, no heartache, no stress, just one day?

Life can be a bear but how we handle it determines who we are and what strengths we have.
