No Joke!

[INTRO]
I packed too fast forgot my breath
Didn’t sleep just played pretend
Told Mum I’m fine told Aunt it’s nothing
But my chest ain’t fooled it keeps on crushing

[VERSE 1]
I drank my tea like that’d calm the noise
Mum saw right through my paper poise
She said love if he’s worth it he’ll stay
But I saw the worry behind her face

Auntie joked I’d find someone better
But my hands shook holding your sweater
I told them both I was brave strong fine
Then cried at the gate like you were mine

[PRE-CHORUS 2]
What if time makes your heart forget
What if silence starts to feel like rest
What if the space becomes a scar
And someone else takes up my part

[CHORUS 1]
Ooooh I’m too scared to leave you
Will you wait will you wait
Ooooh I’m too tired to be brave too
Will you wait will you wait
Ooooh the sky’s too wide from over here
Will you wait
Ooooh and my fear is loud my hands unclear

[VERSE 2]
I called you late said I missed the moon
You said I know it’s early here too
I said I’m scared you’ll drift or fade
That the absence might start to feel okay

You didn’t laugh you didn’t flinch
You let me ramble through the pinch
I said I dream of you with someone else
And wake up clawing at myself

[PRE-CHORUS 2]
You said I don’t vanish when you leave
You don’t disappear just cause you grieve
You’re not a ghost you’re not a flight
You’re mine we’ll be alright

⸻

[CHORUS 2]
Ooooh I’m too scared to leave you
But I’m learning how to need you
Your voice is calm across the sea
And somehow that sets me free

⸻

[BRIDGE]
You didn’t promise forever just now
And somehow that’s everything

You said go home I’ll be here
Love ain’t scared of the atmosphere

[FINAL CHORUS]
Ooooh I’m still scared to leave you
But you made the dark feel see-through
The miles might stretch and twist our days
But we’ll find each other anyway

Will You Wait

Before the voice arrives, this already speaks.

Promises

Songs of promises, songs of pacts and songs of pledges. Pretty well as described.

When I first gave my life to the Lord Jesus, I threw everything onto Him.
My life was a wreck, and I desperately needed Him—
 …in every decision,
 …in every crisis,
 …and even to help me handle my successes!
Needless to say, I had a fervent, consistent prayer life. But when answers seemed slow to come, the “old timers” would say, “Be patient—God will answer in His own time.”
I knew they meant well, but something in me felt they were simply repeating what they had heard, without truly understanding what the Bible teaches about times, seasons, and opportunities.
Then, God led me through a powerful time of prayer and Bible study that opened my eyes to understand His timing. I realized that many “old saints,” though sincere, didn’t have a clear understanding of these issues. But when I grasped what Scripture really says about God’s timing, my walk with Him changed forever.
It made me patient as I stepped into His promises. I stopped panicking when answers seemed delayed. I understood that patience is not just waiting—it’s a vital, faith-filled force that keeps us from wavering, so we can receive what God is freely giving (James 1:4–7).
Join me this week for a message that will end impatience, silence doubt, and give you the confidence to know that God hears you every time you pray: Times, Season & Opportunities!

Reflection

Fake profiles, bots, promises, feeding a monster, confused on what is real?  Me too.
