The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran

Gibrans style of writing is my favorite :) Heres an excerpt:

"When you love you should not say, 'God is in my heart,' but rather, 'I am in the heart of God.' & think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Love has no other desire but to fufill itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:

To melt & be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
& to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart & give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;

& then sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart & a song of praise within your lips."

Colossians 2:6-7

6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

peach iced tea and a little thought.

Funny how we pray, seek, and hope with all our hearts for something and as we wait for it, it never comes and then when we least expect it...

Surprise surprise that something finds us! He knows the perfect timing to give us our blessings. I love God and how he works ♥ :)

Crazy Love

read this book as soon as possible (after your Bible of course)!



I read this book in less than 2 days.. it inspired and challenged me and made me really take a deep look into my walk with God. Here is a few lines from the book:

"Worry implies that we don't trust that God is big enough, powerful enough, or loving enough to take of what is happening in our lives.

Stress says the things that we are involved in are important enough to merit our impatience, our lack of grace toward others, or our tight grip of control.

Basically, these 2 behaviors communicate that its okay to sin and not trust God because the stuff in my life is somehow exceptional.

Both worry and stress reek of arrogance. They declare our tendency to forget that we have been forgiven, that our lives are brief, that we are headed to a place where we won't be lonely, afraid, or hurt ever again, and in the context of God's strength, our problems are small indeed."

- Francis Chan

Seiad Valley Thanksgiving 2010

love on high.

its better with three

theoretically thinking, conceptually conceiving. breathing in visually stimulating ideals of the fields in which we lay. swimming in your spoken, choking on the sweetness that spills from the lips. catching drops of our souls which slip through the grips of tightly clenched fists. in all the earth's darkness we follow his light that protrudes through thick seams. reality molded and sculpted by our creators hands; depicted from his dreams. true love that never ceases, committed to one another, our lives devoted to thee. two is company, but its better with three... we < he

giving thanks;

Giving thanks and thinking about what we are thankful for should not only be done once a year on a holiday, we should practice this in our everyday lives. Thank God for your life and your blessings any and every moment possible!

a mushy gushy untitled poem

this present is a new beginning
the past i will not remember tomorrow
the love i did not know yesterday
in now the air i breathe
when there is no hate in your heart
the only think to know is love
powerful, unfailing
patient, i am waiting
for a love eternal
not chosen by my own want
but whom God will direct my heart to
faith overcomes fear
and love will see us through
to a love, unknown
my heart is yours
until we meet
not yet but soon.

Family :)

A few pictures from Saturday... We gathered to watch our cousin Pacquaio conquer once again :) LOL

early morning mind workout!

Thoughts.
Thinking.
Pondering.
Wondering.
Analyzing.
Re-analyzing.

Pondering about pondering.........

Over thinking thoughts I forgot about yesterday,
that I remembered that I forgot that now seem to be so far away....
my mind can't quite grasp them anymore.


But I have a new idea!!
Oh glory the thoughts that are racing through my mind are lining perfection.

Now,
I am mentally perplexed.
So frazzled, my mind is out of breath.


I need to stop thinking so much.

yournation

so beautiful,

soul spiritual;

habitual ray straight from the sun itself.

so bright and clear,

your presence cannot be mistaken.

taken away by the clouds that inhabit your mental skies,

floating high.

swimming in your hearts ocean,

the conqueror of its seas.

mastering your lands,

growing fruit where others would not think to plant seeds.

patient because i know your potential.

reaping what we sow

we are the consequential.
