If weakness is a wound that no one wants to speak of…

Then “cool” is just how far we have to fall. And I am not immune, I only want to be loved but I feel safe behind the firewall. Can I lose my need to impress? If you want the truth I need to confess: I’m not alright, I’m broken inside (broken inside); And all I go through, it leads me to You (it leads me to You.)

❝I want people to leave with hope. Knowing that in a world that is getting darker and more violent; and a world that tells you that you don’t matter unless you are rich and popular, that you matter to God. He simply loves you just as you are.❞
– John Cooper, Skillet (via alovefromabove)
❝Maybe that’s the point to reach the point of giving up. Cause when I’m finally at rock bottom that’s when I start looking up & reaching out.❞
– Matthew West (via to-love-ones-self)
❝It’s the simple, humble who’s faithful and attentive to the Holy Spirit – that’s where it begins. All of us, myself included, have a tendency to be caught up in hype. But the Gospel is about being humble to the point where you’re willing to pick up your cross and daily pursue a communion with this gracious God who loves the world.❞
– Jon Foreman

❝Sometimes I don’t feel like doing what is right and good. Sometimes it’s easier to get angry with people who treat me wrong instead of loving them with Jesus’ love. I think we can all relate to that. This song [Monster] is saying that there is a secret side to me that struggles, but I know it’s not the real me. The song says, “Why won’t somebody come and save me from this, make it end!❞

Can you sense my excitement yet?

I ran out of Children 18:3 songs to download. ^_^

Anyone have any suggestions?

❝You see, there are three levels in Skillethood. Those who don’t know, those who become ‘Skilletfanz’ through hearing our music; And then ‘Panheads,’ those who come to three or four shows traveling up to 10 hours, bringing skillets, banners, writing on their cars, and so forth. Of course we love them all, but we have a special place in our hearts for Panheads.❞
