Laura Story - Grace

My heart is so proud. My mind is so unfocused.
I see the things You do through me as great things I have done. And now You gently break me, then lovingly You take me and hold me as my father and mold me as my maker.

Chorus:
I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far will forgiveness abound?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."

At times I may grow weak and feel a bit discouraged, knowing that someone, somewhere could do a better job. For who am I to serve You?I know I don't deserve You. And that's the part that burns in my heart and keeps me hanging on.

Chorus*
I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far will forgiveness abounds?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."
You are so patient with me, Lord.

As I walk with You, I'm learning what Your grace really means. The price that I could never pay was paid at Calvary. So, instead of trying to repay You, I'm learning to simply obey You
by giving up my life to you For all that You've given to me.

Chorus:
I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far will forgiveness abounds?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."

My Farewell Letter

Hey, cheer up! Never frown. Do not look at me with those lonely and teary eyes. No one is dying, but someone is leaving.... and that's me. But you don't have to be so depressed like that/ This is not the end, my friend. This si just the beginning.

I remembered it was 6 months ago when I knew someone like you. I found in you a true friend., someone I knew I could rely on, share jokes and secrets with. Most of my days were spent in having fun... because never will a day by without you, making me smile and laugh at all times.

I couldn't forget the day we argued. I thought it would be the end of our treasured friendship.I couldn't let someoen like you drift away from my grasp. But I still lucky, I had renewed the friendship that was almost ended by the test of time.

We remained strong. We stayed firm and resilient. In spite of the many hardship and trials we encountered, still we face them with courage and great faith with each other. With that I do believed, nothing and no one could ever break the tie of friendship we had.

So keep my word, believe in what I promised. Do not cry, for it breaks my heart to see you grieving when I leave. Distance wont hinder me from thinking of you. New friends? Dont worry. For no one could ever replace you here in my heart and in my life.

I wont bid you goodbye, cause I wont leave you, you know that. I just have to go on with my journey. Just pray for me, that I may have enough strength to face what lies ahead. I'll admit, Im afraid of what awaits me. but just holding on to our friendship, will keep me strong and courageousto face the changes and adversities to come.

If I will be back, and when I returned back here, you'll see how productive I can be. And I will tell anyone, "I'm back home, Intelenet."

Friend, this will not mean goodbye, this is just frist step towards a wider and bigger world.
