the warrior is a child

Today, with a lot of things rushing through my mind, all I could think of was a song from Gary Valenciano entitled The Warrior is a Child. I just feel so drained and so torn right now. I don't know what to do or what to think of. It's just that at this point I could totally relate to the song. No matter how strong or brave you are, there are times that you just wanna seek refuge and find solitude especially if you've been through some pain and hurt. People may see you as someone courageous yet they don't know what you really go through just to face your own personal battles. Only your closest friends or relatives would know. But at times, you don't even want to share it with them because you don't want them to get burdened by it. So there's only one person whom you can rely and that is God. He sees everything that you experience; read what is in your mind; and feel what is in your heart. With Him, you can just surrender everything, be weak for a moment and just find refuge...

For those who are not familiar with the song, here is the lyrics:

Lately I've been winning battles left and right
But even winners can get wounded in the fight
People say that I'm amazing
Strong beyond my years
But they don't see inside of me
I'm hiding all the tears

And they don't know
that I go running home when I fall down
They don't know
who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
'Cause deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child

Unafraid because His armor is the best
But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest
People say that I'm amazing
Never face retreat
But they don't see the enemies
That lay me at His feet

And they don't know
that I go running home when I fall down
They don't know
who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
'Cause deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child

And they don't know
that I go running home when I fall down
They don't know
who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and look up for a smile
'Cause deep inside this armor
Deep inside this armor
Deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child

And for those who haven't heard it yet, you can find the video in YouTube.

This song has somewhat inspired me that I always have someone to count on and that I could always seek for solitude every time I feel down...

a glimpse of my new baby

Uh-huh, you heard me right... Not that I'm pregnant or anything though, hehehe. I just wanna consider this site as my new baby.

Actually, at first, I only thought of having a blog that will showcase inspiring or wonderful quotes and messages; thus, I created Walking Down Quotes Lane. However, it dawned on me that it would probably be good if I create a personal site. A place where I could express my thoughts and opinions, share my life experiences, or just simply find a haven where I could just rant and rave (not that I often do that, haha). It's just that writing makes me feel good especially when I want to pour out my soul into it. I don't consider myself a good writer but I just love writing especially when the mood strikes, hehe. So that inspired me to create this site -- Zharie's Haven -- that will simply showcase my world, my life and my journey.

Having said that, I welcome you all into my new site and may this be a start of a wonderful journey with you being a part of it...
