Things are never as bad as they seem, keep on soldiering on through life, and you're life will never be empty.. or boring.

The way i see freedom of choice:
We're free to do what we please.
But whatever God wants to happen, will happen regardless of whether we're along for the ride.

There is a friend, Who sticks by you, Closer than a brother.
A friend who, Loves you no matter what, Always.

Even though it seems He leaves, It's those times He's closest.
