Hear the Bells

We need to wake up to hear the bells ringing
We need to stay awake to what is happening. 
Wake the town, that is in so deep. 
Let them see that this dream is within sleep.

I am taking a stance in this new position, 
I can not see a thing through my ambition.  
Let everyone know I am going to compete, 
and I will not stop until it is complete. 

There is nothing out there I can't see, 
there is nothing out there challenging me. 
You need to rise up out of this slumber, 
because one day it will be your number. 

I am going to do everything I can right now,
so I can be happy when I take my final bow.
I am tired of wondering, where is he?
I no longer feel like he is watching over me.

Dear Chris, every believer can relate to your genuine feeling of weariness, being tired of waiting, wondering; sometimes he seems far away, but is he? sometimes in the moment we feel he's far away, it helps to shut out allthe noise and meditate eve for a few mins... listen to some inspirational music...you may find he's there just as he promised..it's we who are caught up in the never ending distractions and illusions meant for that purpose-to entangle us. Hold on to your pearl-faith. Love,Anna
