The Message This Holiday Season

The Message this Holiday Season I have found to be this.....

The Grinches and Scrooges of the world need our love more than our need to not get hurt or rejected by them. Love beyond the capacity you have, and forgive because you don't have a right to judge the wrongs of others, let God handle that. You  don't bring  justice to the table by holding a grudge or being cold back. Our pride or self-righteousness can only more perpetuate the brokeness of eachother. Stunned by our ability to hold a similar cruelty, we stand in our own hypocrisy. When we shunn these kinds of people we find within ourselves a discontentment, because we are always called to love, not hate. Remember that for the Scrooges and Grinches we know in our lives, something at some point happened to make them that way, people were not just born that way.  Sometimes the trials and tribulations of life make people grow bitter. But we are all the same, we are all humans who think and feel . Believe that the simple things like showing kindness can make  even the hardest of hearts soft again.


Hope you find the true meaning of Christmas. Love one another as God loves you.

He likes me, He likes me still

 

He likes me, He likes me not. He likes me, He likes me still.  

When I went to a bible study during the blackout there were people who prayed over me. There were two vision they had from God. One was a pink rose and me picking the petals off saying .. he likes me, he likes me not, he likes me, he likes me not. One of the prayer leaders said that sometimes i don't think God even likes me, that sometimes  I believe that God likes me only when i do Good. He told me that God likes me all the time, so  the truth really is ... God likes me, and he likes  me still. The second vision was a diamond, and a lightening bolt coming down and striking it, he said no matter which way you strike a diamond, no matter which way you look at it, it is still beautiful. It's so amazing how God sheds like on our uncertainties where we most need him to. God wants his women to know that they are beautiful and loved, but many of us struggle with this! I am so thankful that God addressed that issue, because i've wrestled with it.  Now i sure do feel loved, there is no guessing about God's love, it is certain, strong, and constant no matter what we do. A little girl picks flowers guessing and wondering  if a boy loves her or not, but a women who has a deep relationship with God does not focus on the world or wonder in anxiety because God's love is enough, and it never keeps her guessing.

So Sorry About It all

If I bent like you said was best,
Would that change a thing?
If I spent myself... or what's left
Would you still leave me here?

You're so sorry about it all
Now that it's over..
Should I thank you for that dear?
You're so sorry about it all...
And I hope you'll always be.

I remember you best
Hating all the boys who got to you
And all the things they took
That you'd kept for yourself 

Every car crash, every misstep, every word

You're so sorry about it all
Now that it's over..
Should I thank you for that dear?
You're so sorry about it all...
And I hope you'll always be
Always be.

I remember you best
Hating all the boys who got to you
And all the things they took from you again...
It's all wrong...all wrong

Soul Mates

Soul mates are in eachother all along.

A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life." - Richard Bach

"It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting."
"When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive." 

"The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times."
— Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist)

"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.

"When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too."
— Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist)  

But love is always new. Regardless of whether we love once, twice, or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand-new situation. Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. We simply have to accept it, because it is what nourishes our existence. If we reject it, we die of hunger, because we lack the courage to stretch out a hand and pluck the fruit from the branches of the tree of life. We have to take love where we find it, even if that means hours, days, weeks of disappointment and sadness.

Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart.

"Friends will keep you sane, love could fill your heart, a lover can warm your bed, but lonely is a soul without a mate." ~ David Pratt

"It was the pure Language of the World. It required no explanation, just as the universe needs none as it travels through endless time. What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only woman in his life, and that, with no need for words, she recognized the same thing. He was more certain of it than of anything in the world. He had been told by his parents and grandparents that he must fall in love and really know a person before becoming committed. But maybe people who felt that way had never learned the universal language. Because, when you know that language, it's easy to understand that someone in the world awaits you, whether it's in the middle of the desert or in some great city. And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning."
— Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist) 

A hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is the tree of life - The Bible

Let Your Heart Beat

To live in the present you must forgive the things of the past hope for things in the future, but don't expect

Ever hear of chaos theory, Ed? It's a science, tries to determine underlying patterns in chaotic systems. Weather, ocean currents, blood flow, that sort of thing. But it turns out that there are few things more chaotic than the beat of a human heart. Its beating up, slowing down. Pretty face, flight of stairs. It's always changing depending on what's happening out there. It's an erratic son of a bitch. But underneath all of that bump-da-bump mess, there is in fact a pattern, the truth, and it's love. Most important thing about love is that we choose to give it, and we choose to receive it. Making it the least random act in the entire universe. It transcends blood, it transcends betrayal and all the dirt that makes us human. If you can figure that out, the Jake Lees of the world got nothing on you.  - Chaos Theory"

Lyrics from the soundtrack are amazing: 

I give my heart and soul to the ageless
I give my blood and bone to the faceless
Burning bright and cold
With a nameless night
I give my life and love to you, graceless

Your wish is spinning 'round
It only wants to lie you
It never wants to come true

This road that you found
It was buried alive in your dreams
With all your second-hand blues

Do you need a place to stay?
Do you see a face when you pray?
Don't you leave a trace?
Don't you sleep awake?
Don't do it for my sake
