I've been thinking, thinking...

"I will show him how much he must suffer for my name" ~Acts 9:16 (what God said about Paul)


The Loser - Switchfoot, Learning to Breathe

Only the losers win
They've got nothing to prove
They'll leave the world with nothing to lose
You can laugh at the weirdos now
Wait till wrongs are right
They'll be the ones with nothing to hide

'Cause I've been thinking, thinking
I've got a plan to lose it all
I've got a contract pending on eternity
If I haven't already given it away
I've got a plan to lose it all

I've been the burnout kid
I've been the idiot
I'll turn the other cheek to be hit
You can take what you want from me
Empty me till I'm depleted
I'll be around if I'm ever needed

I've been thinking, thinking
I've got a plan to lose it all
I've got a contract pending on eternity
If I haven't already given it away
I've got a plan to lose it all

I wrote this song for you
To show how I'm selling out
I'll take the benefit of the doubt

Because I've been thinking, thinking
I've got a plan to lose it all
I've got a contract pending on eternity
If I haven't already given it away
I've got a plan to lose it all


"For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?" ~Mark 8:35-36

----------------------------------------------
Why am I here? Where am I going? Why am I lonely? What does it mean to suffer?

All these questions I've been asking for years, I think I'm finally finding answers for (hmmm, quite amazing when you think about it.) Well, the first three, I think I now know the answer to about 90% of the time (yeah I realise the third one could do with some *action* as well, but at the moment, I feel content with just knowing the "why")...the fourth one, I only really just started asking recently, and I think I will be working on it this year, so to speak...Well, I've had Acts 9:16 stuck in my head like a song since we first touched on it in one of our Bible studies this year...it might be a sign...

[Edit]
So based on all the above, my ambition in life is to....
be a loser!
