New Favourite

Hurry up already.....

This break was very much needed...

I'm appreciating it and utilizing it to its fullest (I think/hope)...

Jess... I miss you and I wish you were here with us.

:(

Only 1 more week!

i don't remember a thing

I know I've been a liar and I know I've been a fool,

I hope we didn't break it, but i'm glad we broke the rules
My cave is deep now, yet your light is shining through
I cover my eyes, still all i see is you

Proverbs 9:10

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,

And the knowledge of the Holy one is understanding."

Awesome

I don't see anyone else,

everyday I walk through a town full of women,

and I only see her.

2007

i lived,

i learned,

and i hope that i've conquered...

i do not wish to repeat

because away with my soul

did it feast

leaving a shell of nothingness

and self defeat

Contemplation

I've started to compile a list of the things that I want to do in life. :)

Good things to think about. Very good.

i love them soooooo much

- God is one and has revealed His nature in Christ

- Evil is real and binds us to sin

- The Law shows us our need of salvation

- Through Christ and His cross, God has freed us from the power of sin and restored us to a relationship with Him

- Christ's resurrection is our victory over death

- Today, the church continues Christ's work on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit

The time is now

I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:

preach the word;

be ready in season and out of season;

and exhort with complete patience and teaching.

For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Proverbs 17.3

The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, but the lord tests hearts.

i don't feel like doing anything

Nehemiah 8.9-10

Then Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, "This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn or weep." For all the people were weeping when they heard the words of the law. Then he said to them, "Go, eat of the fat, drink of the sweet, and send portions to him who has nothing prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength."

I Love You

Yeah, Girl & Mister M.Ward

'S'

Alright

Be joyful always,

pray without ceasing

and in all things give thanks,

for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thess. 5:16-18

If we deny love that is given to us, 

if we refuse to give love because we fear pain or loss, 

then our lives will be empty, our loss greater..... Unknown

they were caught in this vat

there was one way out

the way was narrow

not like a spout

few searched earnestly

for the way out

many content just "to be"

living a life of complete drought

dying daily, only for self

living with mountainous doubt

i wanted so very badly

to scream and to shout

to point them to

the Narrow Way out.

The Bare Necessities

The Bare Necessities

My life is full of junk I don't need.

Time to think about the necessities...  

A passion for Christ;

Some water, no ice;

Enough food to get by;

Family; true love; and a little shuteye.

To cause to be influenced or controlled

as by an idea or emotion

chiefly concerned with one's own interest

especially to the total exclusion of the interests of others

To decline from a state of norMality, excellence, or prosperity; deteriorate

.

.

To decay morally

Really?!

act, love, walk with your God

With what shall I come before the LORD and bow down before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.  - Micah 6:6-8

Joyseph and I Want to Go...

We've never been

So Great

fingers dripping with unspeakable words

expression seeping from the tip of a stick

a mouth that utters more or less than birds

tries to find rest amongst the chaos created on a canvas

Ready... Go

ear muffs are the way to her heart... and guns... and tank tops.

one-hundred-and-three

if i live to one-hundred-and-three

i hope that i've sailed the mediterranean sea

and absorbed a healthy amount of vitamin d

maybe i will have more than one academic degree

that all revolve around painting, drawing, singing, and pottery

i hope that i lived in the capital of tennessee temporarily,

and grew a beautiful avocado tree 

and drank unglody amounts of norwegian tea

i hope that my 17 children visit me 

even though i'm senile and mostly crazy

i hope that my man still loves me

even though i'm wrinkled and scary

i hope my dentures are comfy

and my eyes don't fail to see

the colours of the seasons, i love leaves

o' one hundred and three

 i hope you don't make me cranky

that would be a dangerous sight to see

hmmmmm.... mmmhm.

if i live to one-hundred-and-three

i hope that i'm used immeasurably

"you ain't frum dese parts, is ya?"

".... no. no sir, not really."

"whuduh ya mean, 'not really'?"

"it's complicated."

"it's cuz you'z a female."

behave, behave.....

i don't quite know how to behave.

behave, behave....

i don't quite know how to behave when i'm around you.

when i'm around you.

Festval of Colours: Holi

mmmm... COLOUR! i love it!

the splash of blue across the image calms me while

the vibrant colours in the background ignite excitement within me.

it's a very well balanced piece that illustrates a joyous moment. 

i'm not hindu and i don't celebrate their holidays, but holi looks like a fun event.

"Alas," cried Candide, "I have had some knowledge of love myself, this sovereign of hearts, this soul of souls; yet it never cost me more than a kiss and twenty kicks on the backside. But how could this beautiful cause produce in you so hideous an effect?"

walking that fine line between life and death

you refine us and make us whole

you define us by your love

you declare us as your own

God's sovereignty does not negate responsibility.

My Precious, Anemic Little Lass

Emotionally, avast, uncharted Landscape.
Anemic from your youth.
Fellows lie and deceive
Broken your heart they leave.

Emotionally, a deep, dark well.
Anemic from the truth.
Scars are slow to heal
On hearts that cease to seal.

Oh, my Little one.
Have faith,
All this too shall pass
my precious, anemic Little lass.

Hello

I'm back.

Live at the Orpheum theater in downtown Los Angeles. September 4, 2009

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”

Fishing

The whole dozen only cost $1.25

They were fat and raised to die

The white foam cup was half dirt and half pink mush

They squirmed and lived their lives out

But little did they know,

They were just bait,

All I wanted was to catch a fish

I popped the top and the dirt trembled

Then I wiggled my fingers through the dirt

Grasping for a slippery, pink worm

As I slide him onto the hook

I saw him die

I'm so sorry little worm,

All I wanted was to catch a fish

- K. Neil Mase

"Whoa. What?"

"mmmhm. I'm leaving... soon."
