6-Break Away

The sound of life droning on
Keeps blaring in my ears
I want to shut it out
I want to break away

I want to change the world
I want to make a difference
I want to let others see
That life isn’t “just about me”

Take a step
Break away
Show the world
That it’s okay

Don’t be afraid
Keep pushing on
Even when the walls crumble down
Break away from the standards set

Don’t let the world shape you
Let Jesus show you the right path
Let Him be the Potter to your clay
Let Him show you that you are a diamond in the rough

Break away from the world
Change your life
Take the jump
Take the leap
And Break away

5-Seeking Solace

Seeking solace
But none can be found
My world is falling apart
As the walls crumble to the ground

No palace large, no cottage small
Can protect from the danger of them all
And who are they, who seek me out?
All my fears and all my doubt

Seeking solace
Nothing is there
How on earth can I get away
Would I give all of them up?
Would I even dare?

Fear is closing in
And Doubt is right behind
They’re getting closer
But solace I cannot find

Seeking solace
But there is none
Is this the end?
Am I finally done?

But then You come
Fear screams in terror
And Doubt backs away
You hold me tight
Everything will be okay

Solace found
In Your arms alone
You rescued me
And You took me home

4-Dark

Fear’s hands grip my throat
As Darkness closes in
How do I escape this threat?
And how am I supposed to win?

The room, pitch black, is closing in on me
On everything in my life, especially my sanity
The ground is crumbling beneath my feet
And here I stand, as I accept defeat

I don’t want to lose, don’t want to give in
But it seems like it is impossible to win
The light at the end of the tunnel has disappeared
And everything is going wrong, just as I have always feared

I want to cry, I don’t want to fight
I want to give in, I want to make things right
I’m losing sight of my final destination
I just want to rid myself of all this devastation

Fear’s hands grip my throat
And I try to escape
How can I breakaway from this danger
That is closing in on me?

3-Light

Left and right
Darkness is all I see
I want to see You
Standing bright
Right in front of me
I call Your name
And You come close
Light is all I see
You wipe away the Darkness
From my memory
You stand by my side
I thought You would leave
You’re holding me tight
And I’m surrounded by Light
I hold You close
And feel so safe
You let me know
You won’t go away
Left and right
Light surrounds me now
Darkness is completely gone
Gone from my memory

Wow....just....WOW!!

Wow! That's all I can say right now as i think of my Creator.
I mean...just stop and think for a minute...isn't it absolutely amazing that God spoke a word and the earth came into existence! He made man by using the dust of the earth! He knew that we would need people...so He created woman. He gave us the job of having dominion over the earth....which personally...i think we are doing a pretty crappy job...but anyways...the God of the universe LOVES US!!!! He sent His ONLY SON to DIE on the CROSS for OUR sins so that we could CHOOSE to LIVE ETERNALLY with the GOD OF THE UNIVERSE!!!! Doesn't that just blow your mind?! I mean....maybe it's just me...but seriously...take a look out your window...right now...i mean...look out your window and just think that God created all that with His WORDS! HIS WORDS! Isn't that AMAZING!? The trees, the grass, the flowers, the animals, the whole world...He made them with HIS WORDS! And.....He GAVE IT TO US! And what do we do day to day? We go about life and basically ignore the blessing of creation...we are too busy with school, work, activities, and whatever else in our lives....what if...just what if..we took some time everyday..and just spent some time in God's Creation and just talked to Him...everyday...even if it's just 5 minutes...but no iPod, no distractions, just you and God..and talk to Him! I mean...wouldn't that be AMAZING!? Just spend some time in God's Creation and talk to the CREATOR! Isn't it amazing that we can actually have a personal relationship with our Creator?! The Creator of the Universe....i mean...this is the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE people and we CAN TALK WITH HIM LIKE WE TO TALK ANYONE ELSE!!! ISN'T THAT JUST MIND-BOGGLINGLY AMAZING!? I'm just so amazed that He would even think about giving us the opportunity to have a personal relationship with Him when it was because of us that He sent His Son to die on a cross for us. I mean..think about that anguish...think of the person you love the most...and now think of them on a cross....are you horrified? are you in anguish just thinking about it? that's what God had to go through because of His love for US! He chose to send HIS ONLY SON to die for us! It's just amazing...i am just floored that God loves me...Little Olivia Grace Varga...THAT much! I mean...seriously....me...God loves me...AND He loves you! Isn't that AMAZING!? Alright...i think i've gotten my point across....i know that i could talk about this for a loong time..but i would just be repeating myself a lot...so i'll spare you that :P but yea...just stop and think...GOD, the creator of the universe, LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and because of His love for you...He sent His Son..Jesus Christ....to DIE on the CROSS so that you could choose to LIVE ETERNALLY WITH GOD! IT'S AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! think about it.

2- Love

Love is not a feeling that everyone can feel
Rather, it’s an action that must be real
For if it’s not real what is it then? Fake
And who are we for another person’s heart to take?
A heart must be given to us through the show of love
Not through a symbol like flowers or a pure white dove
Love isn’t butterflies in the stomach when you see him or her
Rather it’s the choice to keep pushing on and keep it from being over
It’s the call backs after the hang ups
It’s saying “Keep pushing on,” when you hear “I’m giving up”
It’s the forgiving of offenses when forgiveness isn’t deserved
It’s the willingness to serve and to be served
Love never gives up on the person that receives
For if love could end, where would we all be?
Love has lost it’s meaning…it’s not a feeling that you feel
Rather, it’s an action that must be completely real

1-Introduction

So there's this thing called the 100 Theme Challenge that my metaphorical sister Hannah told me about...and in an attempt to get more topics and ideas and motivation for some poetry and other such things...so yea....you'll be seeing post that are numbered now...and that is according to the 100 Theme Challenge subject list. So yea...this is a pretty lame introduction...but yea...i'll have to work on creativity. :P

There's a rose to every thorn....you just gotta stick around long enough to find it.....even if it hurts.

Sometimes the most beautiful things are found just after it rains.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Psalm 8:3-9

"Who builds his upper chambers in the heavens and founds his vault upon the earth; who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out upon the surface of the earth— the Lord is his name."

Amos 9:6 ESV

Worthy is the Lord of our praise! His name is great and His works are wonderful!!

Is life black and white? Or is there a gray area?
Is life just raindrops and clouds? Or is there some sunshine too?

Let Go

Fingers closed tightly on my dreams
I never wanted to let them go
Never wanted them to leave
Until You whispered in my ear
And told me “It’s gonna be okay.”
So I slowly opened my fingers
And let them go today
It hurt a little, then a lot
Knowing I may not get what I want
The sting was painful, but I could see
You have a perfect plan for me
You took my hand and led me on
You’ll never let me go and I’ll keep you number one
I’ll hold you close and give You my dreams
Although it’s harder than it seems
I’ll learn to let go everyday
Knowing that you have already paved my way

I'm Sick of It

I'm sick of it!

Sick of the world and the messages it sends me and my generation
I'm sick of being told that i have to be skinny, that i have to have this kind of hair, that i have to wear this kind of make-up, that i have to have a boyfriend, that i have to disrespect my parents, that i have to be rude to my siblings, that i have to mistreat my friends just so i can be "perfect."
I'm sick of being pressured by the world to be this messed-up jerk to everyone around me. I'm sick of being told that to get somewhere in life i have to lie, steal, and cheat my way to the top.
I'm sick of being told all this crap just so i look like i'm successful and beautiful and yea...you get the picture.....
It really really frustrates me that this world is so messed up....it's so annoying! and the really sad thing is that most of us buy into the lies...including me...
but yea...i've ranted long enough i think....

sorry that this is a rather pointless post...i just had to get it out there....

I stand before You with hammer and nails in hand
Those are the first things that You remove from my possession
The regret that washes over me is replaced by a warm, steady stream of Your Blood
I look at my hands…they aren’t black with sin anymore
They are the purest white I’ve ever seen
You walk up to me and take my tattered rags that I wear for clothing
And you place in my hands a bright white cloak
I put it over my head and it feels so light….lighter than the clouds
You lead me to a room…where all my sins were kept
Every single one has a blatant description of what I had done that hurt you
Every single one has my name in BIG black letters on it
You walk up to one….You hold it in Your hand
And You remove from Your pocket a blood red eraser
You slowly erase my name from one….then another…then another….
until You have removed my name from all of them
You then take a pen…and dip it in blood red ink
And…to my utter dread and surprise…You begin to write Your Name on each one of my sins
I scream…I shout….I beg You not to declare that You have committed the sin that I had committed…
But You keep writing…..to my utter dismay and relief
I am washed…I am cleaned….I am proved innocent of all that I had done against You
After You finish re-writing names on all of my used-to-be sins
You take my hand and lead me toward a golden gate…that is studded with pearls
Angels loudly blow trumpets on each side of us
The gate opens wide….to a street made of gold
I stop….I pull my hand away from Yours…..I look at You….Am I really allowed in there?
You take my hand again….and You slowly lead me into the city of splendor
Heaven…I am free….I am clean…I am Your Child in Your Arms!
