Dear God
Dear God,
It’s me again. You are really pushing me and forcing me to trust you by not allowing me to do anything. The wait is incredibly strenuous on me now, and i know i’m an impatient person, but you’ve very wisely put me in a position in which i simply cannot do anything.
Two sermons today, though i only intended and hoped to go for one. Totally different topics, and yet you...

Caution: Words Ahead
And as the days have gone, i’ve been reminded appropriately about the words we say. More often than not my peeve is against those who are saying words because that’s the ones that hurt. But then i have been reminded of other ways words can hurt, without even intending to.
I’ve spoken more than enough about how certain flippant remarks may have a severe negative effect on people,...

Something to Believe in
“Breathe and you will find life. Listen and you will find truth. Understand and you will find patience. Question and you will find answers. Speak and you will find a voice. Respect and you will find peace. Learn and you will find hope. Journey and you will find place. Stand and you will find courage. Love and you will find purpose.”
Again, from Fay!

Avril has nothing on this.
Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?
- Avril Lavigne, Complicated
And that’s a fantastic song, by the way, which reflected the way life carries out itself - played on my iPod just as i was running yesterday. For those more familiar with me, i don’t usually run on my own and if i do it’s often one of two reasons: either i’m getting and feeling way...

Penguins
Did you know, that the emperor penguins are such amazing animals?
As the female lays the single egg, the father immediately takes over by grasping it and cradling it on top of his feet. Loose layers of skin around the stomach gently fold over the shell keeping the egg warm. For two months the male penguin must balance the egg on his webbed feet. If at any time the egg touches the frozen ice it...
The Dreamer
as the dreamer lingers in his dream his mind minds mindful things and rains of clouds shower the sky amongst the sunlight rings to which his curiosity rages and yet he is no cat but correlation comes to mind as fantasy begs fact
he wanders through his land of thoughts sojourning through the plains the fright’ning forest walks at night the peltings of the rain. yet he enjoys sunsets, sunrise...

Excerpt from "Fame"
“I just don’t understand - you keep asking me out and i keep telling you no. Why do you keep trying?”
“I don’t know…I feel like if i keep asking, maybe one of these days you’ll actually say yes.

Self-ishness
Today the thought “how selfish can i be?” came to mind, in reprimand of my own thoughts.
The night was set to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and i had agreed to that the day before. I had been struggling with my own observations, with some of the people around me who were there tonight, and i was (shamefully but honestly) even hesitant to be there because i foresaw certain...

Note to Self, and ONLY to Self.
1. Learn to let people finish their sentences. Let them say what they want to say and don’t jump in assuming that you already know what they are going to say. Even if you do, you may not know the best way to express it the way they want. And even if you do on both, let them finish anyway because it’s nice to let people say it, and humble to listen to others.
2. Learn to be more...

One Week
without playing the guitar, and my fingers are already so weak they can’t last beyond an hour.
I seriously hope this has something to do with the medication i took today.

WYSSBWYM
I’ve always thought that if you have to demean other people, knowing that they don’t like it, to start or hold a conversation or even to add a spark of laughter to one, then you’re not much of a conversationalist. I find myself, sadly, sometimes in that position and I have to make it a point to not do it, which in this world and culture sometimes means I’m not perceived as cool or as witty as...

I don’t know what’s worse:
1. Discovering that my supervisor sent me an email Friday close to midnight asking for things by Monday,
2. Only discovering it now, Sunday evening,
3. And even if i managed to see it on Friday night, the request warrants a lot more time than just one weekend to finish,
4. Not really feeling in the mood to do work because I have a lot on my mind (which is...

The Lesson of Surrender
I think sometimes God can be a hard god, even though He is intrinsically love. The same way a father punishes a son out of discipline and not out of anger, God sometimes has to gives us hardships and i should add that He cries along with us as we face them.
More than ever I have had to learn, relearn, and rerelearn this lesson - one of surrender. Being able to leave things in God’s hands and not...

ReBlog: 25 and Over
If you have reached the age of 25, I have a bit of bad news for you, to wit: it is time, if you have not already done so, for you to emerge from your cocoon of post-adolescent dithering and self-absorption and join the rest of us in the world. Past the quarter-century mark, you see, certain actions, attitudes, and behaviors will simply no longer do, and while it might seem unpleasant to feign a...
