Give me your eyes - Brandon Heath

A song, a prayer that touched my heart and wanted to share with all who will happen to browse by.

God bless
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Looked down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight
Touched down on the cold black tile
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breath in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos
All those people going somewhere?
Why have I never cared?
Chorus:
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the once forgotten

Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide what's underneath
There's a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife
He's out of work
He's buying time
all those people going somewhere?
Why have I never cared?

Chorus

Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the once forgotten

I've Been there a million times
A couple of million eyes
just move and pass me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
Well I want a second glance
So give me a second chance
To see the way you see the people all alone

Chorus (x2)

To get back or not to get back ...

... that's the ultimate question!

Woah! It has been a couple of years (and a bit) already since I last posted! Wow ... and I can easily say ... LOADS has happened ... LOADS has changed :)

You see ... during these two years, I had plans to moving to Canada, to study and work, because I was tired of Dubai, and of my work. I have set a date to do that by the first quarter of 2007. Little did I know, what God has really prepared for me :)

On December 1st 2006, I get a phone call that changed my life. It was from the future Mrs. Migally :) By March 2007, I was already on my knee, proposing ... April we get engaged, and on January 10, 2008 we tie the knot and be united as One in His Name, to become the first new-generation Migally family :)

If I just begin to talk about Sara, my wife, I will never end. Let me just summarize the bunch of it, to - the one the Lord has set out for me ... just perfect :)

Now, exactly 9 months from our glorious wedding day, I sit in Starbucks, remembering how the Lord has been gracious to me and my new family, and with every thought I feel more and more unworthy of such grace.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe it is time for me to get back ... I am in a bit of a down mood (very much like the financial market) ... so maybe I get a chance to put down experiences that build, others to stay clear off in the future ... but heaven yes, I feel I am liberated already!

thanks for listening ...

P.S. Although on January 10th, 2008 I have dropped my 'antimena' nickname - but in here, it will always remind me of the my old self, the one always trying to get me back to a life I left behind centuries ago.

Time for change - the rebirth of antimena's desert

So many of you visited my new blog Teshrabo Chai aw Gahwa and already aware that i took the first step to fulfill the original purpose of this blog, by separating the contents accordingly:

antimena's desert will be the home of my altars that I will build as I tread slowly through the training desert the Lord has set for me (we will discuss the desert - not now though). It will also be home to the obstacles I will face during this time.

Mena ... what's the purpose buddy? Well, this place will be 1) a reminder to myself of God's dealings in my life and 2) a reference to whoever is going through the same - didn't you always want someone to understand the way u feel exactly, just when you are facing that? Well you could find that here buddy.

Teshrabo Chai aw Gahwa will be my coffee place/table where you can join me to listen to everything else going through this bald head. From extensive travel reviews, to photoblogging to cheesy lovey-dovey one liners .... this is where you will find it! Come join me ... and speak up! It is a chillaxation spot, buddy!

Friend and family who blessed antimena's desert throughout the past year (and a bit, thank you Yohn!) - thank you!

Come and join me ... chai aw gahwa, or in the desert, you are welcome ... just dont wear your sandals to the first, or come with your mug to the second.

time for change ...

Back to life

That's a bold statement to make, I assure you.

It implies that a state of death, pf transformation (I call it miracle), and then of life were involved in the process.

Well lets not dwell on the past - that's where 'death' lies. Let's re-focus on the future.

That's a bold statement to make, I assure you.

It implies that the future was in focus at one point, but the focus was lost - maybe once, probably many times.

Well lets not dwell on the past - thats where 'de-focused state' lies. Now let's talk ...

All it required was one (year?) day involving many states and events - some emotional, others challenging: a dark state, an event , an advice, another event ... then a new state. A state that allows 'life' and 're-focus' ... a status called freedom.

That, ladies and gentlemen, was God's early birthday gift to me - documented here to witness for the 24 years of life that passed, all according to His plan ... all by His grace. An altar to stand for all above, against time, sin, laziness, complications and internet servers.

Happy birthday, Mena.

P.S. To all who were involved in my 24 years of blessings, I salute you - wonderful people you are, some even more than that. I am proud to be called a friend by many, brother by others, and to a few special ones - a son. I pray that that never changes ...
