You will when you believe

I've realized that there were many times in my life that I could have just thrown away everything I worked so hard for and stopped believing that it could be done.

Like the fact that I can have people I can trust and I trust in return unconditionally.

Having come from a dark place in my life, where love was but a foreign entity to me, now I see that anything can happen. When you believe.

This notion was triggered by the conversation Jazzy, Pam and I had about life and about chasing after the stars (our goals).

Pam said that she feels blessed to have friends like us around.

My cup runneth over.

Years back I was hoping and praying that things would go my way. I wanted to have the support of my loved ones and the success that I wanted.

But one thing after another happened that somewhat dimmed that light of hope for me.

Then today when I sat down and just experienced my surroundings, counting my blessings I began to see how beautiful my life was.

Which taught me never to doubt and always keep the faith.

This song expresses it best for me...the struggle towards the light.






Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood

Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we knew we could


There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe


In this time of fear
When prayers so often prove in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
To swiftly flown away

Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe


They don't always happen when you ask
(Oh)
And it's easy to give in to your fears
(Oh...Ohhhh)
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way straight throught the rain
Small but still, resilient voice
Says love is the relief
(Ohhh)

There can be miracles
(Miracles)
When you believe
(Lord, when you believe)
Though hope is frail
(Though hope is frail)
It's hard to kill
(Hard to kill, Ohhh)
Who know what miracles,you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will(somehow,somehow, somehow)
somehow you will
You will when you believe

You will when you
You will when you believe
Just believe...in your heart
Just believe
You will when you believeeeeeeeeeee

WHAT I LIVE BY

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
