“Jesus told the woman accused of sexual sin to “go and sin no more.” That wasn’t a threat. It was a declaration of freedom. He wasn’t interested in condemning her past. He wanted to rescue her future.”

“confidence is the only key. i know a lot of people who aren’t traditionally ‘beautiful’ — not symmetrical or perfect-bodied or perfect-skinned. but none of that matters because all that shines through is their confidence, humor and comfort with themselves. i can’t think of a better representation of beauty than someone who is unafraid to be herself.”

“My feelings are not God. God is God. My feelings do not define truth. God’s word defines truth. My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. And sometimes - many times - my feelings are out of sync with the truth. When that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - I try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, I plead with God: Purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth.”

you. no one has ever truly left me breathless, as you did that friday night - leaving work, of all places, after you stayed around to chat with me so i wouldn’t be by myself. there is something about you that just calls to me. i pray for you, i pray for me, i pray for us every single day, and usually more often than that per day. we may never be more than friends and if that’s the plan for us then i’ll be okay with that, but i want to know you more. i feel like there’s something there, in some capacity, and you make me want to be a better person. you make me want to be smarter, and know more about more things, and be more confident and passionate about things the way i see you being.

i’m working on my patience for whatever this is going to develop into, just know that i pray for you often, i think of you often. and i hope there’s some sort of friendship/relationship in store for us.

rededicating.

Thu, 18 Apr 2013 21:15:40 -0400

i’m rededicating my life. the Lord’s always been a part of it and i’ve always had some sort of relationship with Him, but lately (actually, since about december) i’ve been feeling this really strong pull in my heart. it first eased up a little when i ended a relationship that wasn’t helping either of us grow and better ourselves. then through my continued work at the y, opening myself up to members and other employees there, it eased even more. and now through finding a church that i’ve enjoyed going to the past few sundays whose members have been incredibly welcoming, i’m really feeling lighter.

i’ve been doing a daily devotional and quiet time which has really helped me and i’ve been making it a point to stay in constant conversation with Him throughout the day. i feel better, happier, more peaceful than i have in a while. i know that He has a plan for me and whatever has happened in the past was leading me to this point, but i’m ready to put the past behind me and start making choices that reflect my beliefs and have the relationship with Him that i’m meant to have and that He wants to have. here’s to rededication!

“I have promised to meet all your needs according to My glorious riches. Your deepest, most constant need is for My Peace. I have planted Peace in the garden of your heart, where I live; but there are weeds growing there too: pride, worry, selfishness, unbelief. I am the Gardener, and I am working to rid your heart of those weeds. I do My work in various ways. When you sit quietly with Me, I shine the Light of My Presence directly into your heart. In this heavenly Light, Peace grows abundantly and weeds shrivel up. I also send trials into your life. When you trust Me in the midst of trouble, Peace flourishes and weeds die away. Thank Me for troublesome situations; the Peace they can produce far outweighs the trials you endure.”

when being nice just hasn’t worked, so you finally just have to be a little more harsh to make him understand. it sucks.

sorry, dude. but maybe after saturday night’s events, you finally get it.

Thu, 28 Mar 2013 09:47:46 -0400

““Remember:
Life is short, break the rules (they were made to be broken)
Forgive quickly, kiss slowly
Love truly, laugh uncontrollably
And never regret anything that makes you smile.
The clouds are lined with silver and the glass is half full (though the answers won’t be found at the bottom)
Don’t sweat the small stuff,
You are who you are meant to be,
Dance as if no one’s watching,
Love as if it’s all you know,
Dream as if you’ll live forever,
Live as if you’ll die today””

- ― James Dean (via justbesplendid)

“He found her most beautiful not when she was all fancied up, but when she wasn’t. When she was lying on the carpet, her hair all a mess, laughing about something that had happened years ago. When she wasn’t trying to impress anyone and taken down that wall that she had built for most people. That’s when he couldn’t take his eyes off of her.”
