I can't Breath

[bichsa]

I have this feeling deep in my chest
I can’t seem to catch my breath

My lungs are tight
I don’t feel quite right

My heart it skips to another beat
I feel I’m floating right off my feet

My mind is so crowded
Not sure when it started

Yet, I feel quite content and free
look way in and you will see

I have this pain
But I’m not insane

An ache that’s crying
Crying out in your name

I have this feeling deep within my chest
It’s a feeling I really don’t want to rest

For when I think of YOU

My soul is at ease
To You only I yearn to please.

peace C.

It is a longing ...
an urgent need
to finally be
where we belong....

Home....
with our Creator.


Jesus Christ our Lord...

"You create the circumstances of your life with the choices you make every day!"


Hmmmmmm.....

Did you happen to catch Oprah's show about "The Secret"?

[bichsa]

I agree with that statment ,i did not catch it so when you wrote it i checked it out online ,this is what the woman said,

"Rhonda defines The Secret as the law of attraction, which is the principle that "like attracts like." Rhonda calls it "the most powerful law in the universe," and says it is working all the time. "What we do is we attract into our lives the things we want, and that is based on what we're thinking and feeling," Rhonda says. The principle explains that we create our own circumstances by the choices we make in life. And the choices we make are fueled by our thoughts—which means our thoughts are the most powerful things we have here on earth."



I particuluir like this line,
The principle explains that we create our own circumstances by the choices we make in life.

I agree to a point we can create most circumstances but not all Some are predetermined ex.blindness or illnesses ,death ,birth. but with our free will we have a choice to be good /bad do the right thing or not. in this light she is right so if you choose to follow goodness ,striving hard to follow the right path then your heart is guided in the right path and what ever happens you see it differently then others it won't bother you as much as someone whose heart has been drifting in a forbidden zone so to speak.when you follow the goodness it follows you . well i talked too much very interesting maybe they will repeat it,thanks for you comments and sharing peace to you ,cheryl

I would love to know more about the idea. I took it to mean a change inside of us! We cannot change the world, but we can change our view of the world. So, as we cannot change blindness, illnesses, death, birth, etc, we can change our feelings about these events. (?)

The Bible does say to avoid people who you know are bringing you to sin. Negative vibrations can do a lot of harm, don't you agree?

I know one Sunday I was home totally enjoying myself. I had planned a nice meal, I had my candles lit, a good movie in my CD player, and had just stepped out of a bubble bath and had a green face mask on. (a real ME day)

Someone knocked on my door. (which is rare). I opened it and there was my neighbor from downstairs. He had a look on his face of total despair. He crawled in my door and immediately started to complain about the day, the weather, his health, his hunger problem, how he wished the day was over because he hated the weekends, etc.

Finally, I spoke up. I asked him if he had any good news to tell me. I asked him if his phone out of order, because I had just got out of a "relaxing" bubble bath and I didn't hear my phone ring. I told him politely that I wished he would try to find something about the day that he enjoyed and suggested if he had a job or something to keep him busy during the week that he would enjoy the weekends as much as I did and I asked him not to come visit me bringing his negative, bad attitude to my door.

I invited him to watch the movie with me, if he liked and I told him I "might" cook a nice meal later on that day "if" I didn't get in a funky mood like he was.

He apologized for just showing up at my door in such a bad mood. I walked him to the door and he left.

It wasn't until I went to the rest room to blow dry my hair that I realized I was still green.

It is a fine line with him and with all people like that. My ex roommate was a lot like that. Very negative about everything. She could always find the fault in any situation. I could come home from work and within a couple of hours she would have me laying on my bed in defeat.

I felt like I had been released from prison when I moved from her home.

My apartment is my haven! I do not want it filled with negativity. I want it to be a comfortable, safe place filled with good, positive feelings. (?)

I try to be the same way with my poor old shell of a body.

Anyway, now I am rambling. ha

Love you,

Sam

No rambling Sam yes i agree ,it does tell us even in the Qur'an to watch who we hang around with ,it DOES have an affect on anyone,I have the same problem with someone who always complaining never positive always negative,they drag you down like a ton of bricks ,it is unhealthy.that is why God warns us who to hang around and not .People asume oh He means like drug addicts and alchole no it is more than that it is a whole negative energy ,of individuals that don't see or what to see the light on the other side. Good for you and your green face ,hehe to ask him to either cheer up leave the negative at the door or leave ,good for you! I tell my husband when he has a bad day leave your troubles and worries on the tree limb outside and walk in with a smile because a frown spreads like a virus .
now you know why my ID says :If you want change,you must change from within first!
It speaks volumes ,Great talking to you and your positive outlook ,.You see it works if one is postive and shines that postive energy you make the other person want to be positive as well.Keep Smiling peace ,Cheryl
