Take a Look Through My Eyes...

(~Phil Collins)

"There are things in life you learn and, oh, in time you'll see it's out there somewhere.
It's all waiting if you keep believing.
So don't run. Don't hide. It will be alright, you'll see! Trust Me!
I'll be there watching over you.


Just take a look through My eyes. There's a better place somewhere out there. Just take a look through My eyes. Everything changes. You'll be amazed what you'll find! (There's a better place)! If you look through My eyes.


There will be times on this journey all you'll see is darkness, but out there somewhere, daylight finds you if you keep believing. So don't run. Don't hide. It will be alright, you'll see! Trust Me! I'll be there watching over you.


Just take a look through My eyes. Theres better place somewhere out there. Just take a look through My eyes. Everything changes, you'll be amazed what you'll find! (Theres a better place)! If you look through My eyes.


All the things that you can change. There's a meaning in everything and you will find all you need. There's so much to understand. Take a look (take a look) through My eyes.
Theres a better place somewhere out there.


Just take a look (take a look) through My eyes. Everything changes. You'll be amazed what you'll find (You'll be amazed if you just take a look)! Look through My eyes. Theres a better place somewhere out there. Just take a look through My eyes. Everything changes. You'll be amazed what you'll find if you look through My eyes.

Just take a look through My eyes.
If you look through My eyes ...Take a look through my eyes"

Midnight Poppy...

The thing to remember in the darkness is that the color is not actually GONE - you just can't see it...until the light shines again ~ and it always does.

Darkness lies - but it doesn't take away the truth.

The color is never gone...it is ALWAYS in the LIGHT.

The song has been hosted by a youtube user (totally unknown to me or endorsed by me) - simply click the tiny icon to play while you read - easy cheesey (it takes a moment to load). If you click too often it will open a new window and take you off-site into youtube land which is not our intended journey today. If you play it through and want to hear it again - you will need to refresh the entire page and repeat the process. Thank-You

"One day you'll look to see I've gone ~ For tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun. Some day you'll know I was the one ~ But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun. And now the time has come and so, my love, I must go ~And though I lose a friend in the end you will know, oh. One day you'll find that I have gone ~ But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun. And now the time has come and so, my love, I must go ~ And though I lose a friend in the end you will know, oh. One day you'll find that I have gone ~ But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun. "

Featured Art on eBay: an old distressed altered suitcase.

I am a crazed suitcase collector - and have been a long while (way before it was a fad)! I have stacks of vintage cases as end tables, lampstands, a stereo tower, etc - they are everywhere!

I feel like we are travellers afterall - on our way to somewhere else. The suitcases all around make it look like we are ready to go at any moment - living in expectancy of a grand journey.

This song lyric (I'll Follow the Sun) popped into my head - and perfectly coupled itself with a tattered suitcase (representing our journey to a better place). We have been in a transition for exactly one year and finally, by God's grace & mercy, have it figured out. I am thrilled to have created this from what I thought was 'worthless' (yes, metaphorically so, but in a real sense too).

Nothing of our last year has been wasted. Regardless of who you serve or where you journey - so long as you serve "as unto God Himself" and journey to be closer to God in all His purity & Truth ~ the blessing remains.

One day eyes that are blind will see You clearly ~ And one day all who deny will finally believe. One day hearts made of stone will break in pieces ~ And one day chains once unbroken will fall down at Your feet ~ So we wait for that one day come quickly! We want to see Your Glory ~ Every knee falls down before Thee. Every tongue offers You praise with every hand raised. Singing Glory to You and unto You only - We'll sing Glory to Your name.

One day voices that lie will all be silent ~ One day all that's divided will be whole again. One day death will retreat and wave it's white flag. One day love will defeat the strongest enemy. So we wait for that one day come quickly! We want to see Your Glory ~ Every knee falls down before Thee. Every tongue offers You praise with every hand raised. Singing Glory to You and unto You only - We'll sing Glory to Your name.

We know not the day or the hour. Or the moments in between ~ But we know the end of the story when we'll see ...
