Fave Quotes!!!
I'm looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love.
Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous
Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away.
I would rather fight with you than love anyone else.
I think I would love you even if I had never met you!
When it comes back to you.
When you find something that is so important that you would lay down your life for it, you officially know that you have found something you can't live without. But there are things that occur that make life more and more difficult, and when those moments come you have to step back from the situation and believe in your God and know that he does things only for the good for those that serve him. So when trials come you have to believe in him and know that he will take care of you, he will lead you, and you will eventually make it out stronger than you were when it began. He made us strong so that we could make it through things that we never thought we could. So when you go through a time when you feel as though you have lost what you truly love, realize that God's plan is perfect and if what you love is true, It will come back to you!
What God Teaches Me!
In this world there are ups and downs, lefts and rights, and the ever so unfortunate circles that never let you see an end! I have been going in a circle for a while now...
So when I thought about what that circle was doing to my life, I was very angry...angry enough that I am just now capable of writing about it! I, someone who usually relies on God for everything had taken hold of the wheel. No matter how many times he told me I was going in the wrong direction, I ignored him and kept going my way! As you can imagine, the same scenery got old and the same feeling of being lost did the same! It wasn't until I reached that boiling point and said I can't do it on my own that I felt God tell me "I never meant for you to"! What a revelation...the one who is forever in my favor doesn't mind helping me get through a hard time in my life! Now time has gone by, and I admit that there are days when I feel my hand grip the wheel, but then I remember that I gave my situation to God and he has full control! He knows where I am going and where I have been! Isn't it amazing...No matter what metaphor I use, I can give God the glory for helping me through all that I go through! And though the sitation was so big to me, it was so little for him! I serve a great big GOD!!!!
I know this is a strange way of doing it, but this is a little testimony of my life over the last couple of months! God has really helped me be an overcomer! And I used the analogy simply because if it helped me, maybe it can help someone else!
Life is hard, but God is good!
Friendship
I have many wonderful friends that I would mourn over losing. One of which I feel I have already lost for reasons beyond my control. One day you are talking without fail and the next communication ends. What happened? You never know unless you ask and sometimes when you ask you don't get the answer you are looking for. You appologize for actions that you don't realize have even occured. I have even gone so far as to continually call and call and I continue to get the same response. What more do you have to do?
Part of my problem is I tend to be a pleaser...I never want anyone to be upset with me or to dislike me.
Is a friend that will not tell you what is wrong really a good friend? Are they trying in some strange way to save you from yourself? To spare your feelings when in the long run they are hurting them by ignoring your existance.
Friendship can be a difficult thing to master. It is a longterm relationship of sorts that is mastered over time. Think of the friends that you had in Kindergarten? Are they the same friends that you talk to today, or have you moved on to other friends? Were all the friends that you have had a long the way been a stepping stone to learn how to be in this relationship today? All in all this was merely a way to vent my feelings about friendships that may be visible to others, but in my eyes are very vague and definately not transparent on the surface. You never see us talk anymore unless it is in short choppy sentences and you can never ask them advice because they are no longer talking to you. What do you do to get the friend back that says there is nothing wrong?
