My life is filled with love. Everyday in some way I am shown love. I love, love. I am disheartened for the people who don’t get shown love. To not know love is a tragedy. And I don’t mean loved by a boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse/partner. I just mean loved as in someone who loves you, the raw real you. I mean loved as in seeing it in others; even if it’s not aimed towards me I am a witness to love everyday. God shows me love everyday. It’s in the wind. It’s in the flowers that blossom. It’s in my dogs smile when his tongue is hanging out of his mouth. It’s in the way someone hugs me. It’s in smiles that I see from strangers. It’s in my best friend. It surrounds me. And I don’t mind because I’m so engaged with the love I have known thus far in my life that all I can do is be thankful and smile. Every person who doesn’t truly know love or hasn’t been show love, I am so incredibly sorry. I hope you find it someday soon. Find it in the little things. Find it in the book that you read. Find it in the run that you go on. Find it while driving in the car listening to music with the windows rolled down. We don’t need to be in love to know what love is. But I think it’s important to know love.. and love; Love is something to be thankfulfor.<3
Beautiful song. A song that describes my love. <3
“Lover’s Eyes”
Well, love was kind for a time Now just aches and it makes me blind
This mirror holds my eyes too bright I can’t see the others in my life
Were we too young? Our heads too strong? To bear the weight of these lover’s eyes. ‘Cause I feel numb, beneath your tongue Beneath the curse of these lover’s eyes.
But do not ask the price I paid, I must live with my quiet rage, Tame the ghosts in my head, That run wild and wish me dead. Should you shake my ash to the wind Lord, forget all of my sins Oh, let me die where I lie Neath the curse of my lover’s eyes.
‘Cause there’s no drink or drug I’ve tried To rid the curse of these lover’s eyes And I feel numb, beneath your tongue Your strength just makes me feel less strong
But do not ask the price I paid, I must live with my quiet rage, Tame the ghosts in my head, That run wild and wish me dead. Should you shake my ash to the wind Lord, forget all of my sins Or let me die where I lie Neath the curse of my lover’s eyes.
And I’ll walk slow, I’ll walk slow Take my hand, help me on my way. And I’ll walk slow, I’ll walk slow Take my hand, I’ll be on my way.
And I’ll walk slow, I’ll walk slow Take my hand, help me on my way. And I’ll walk slow, I’ll walk slow Take my hand, I’ll be on my way.
La la la, La la la, La la la, la la La la la, La la la, La la la, la la
This is an power filled movie and soundtrack! True life story about beating life’s trials and the odds set against you with God’s strength. It’s based on the true story of surfer Bethany Hamilton and totally worth watching :) You will be radically blessed <3
Great Movie, watch it if you haven’t seen it! (:
It’s much easier to not know things sometimes. Things change and friends leave. And life doesn’t stop for anybody. I wanted to laugh. Or maybe get mad. Or maybe shrug at how strange everybody was, especially me. I think the idea is that every person has to live for his or her own life and than make the choice to share it with other people. You can’t just sit their and put everybody’s lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can’t. You have to do things. I’m going to do what I want to do. I’m going to be who I really am. And I’m going to figure out what that is. And we could all sit around and wonder and feel bad about each other and blame a lot of people for what they did or didn’t do or what they didn’t know. I don’t know. I guess there could always be someone to blame. It’s just different. Maybe it’s good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there. Because it’s okay to feel things. I was really there. And that was enough to make me feel infinite. I feel infinite.

If you have Netflix, you should go watch OctoberBaby. It’s sad but moving. Very good.
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
So many days I get lost in my mind. I get lost in this world. So many days, I forget.
I forget how blessed my life is. I take for granted many things that lots of people strive to have in their lives.
I complain more than I should.
And then I think how imperfect I am and how I consistently mess up. I think about the people in my life and how beautiful they all are- each in their own way.
And then I think about how God loves me. How He loves you. And eventually my mind takes comfort in how infinite God’s love is.
It has no limitations. It endures forever.
I am so grateful to know God. And I ask myself all the time, Why did He pick me?
But that answer isn’t important. He chose each and every one of us. And I want everyone to know that.
No matter where you are- He is there. And He.loves.YOU.
If I have made any resolutions for the new year it is this: To glorify God more and tell as many people as I can about Him.
I encourage anyone reading this to open their eyes and look for God. He is there and He has so much to give. <3
This song was introduced to me this past fall when my family and I took a trip to Olmsted Falls, OH. On our drive back home I started and finished the book The Perks of Being a Wallflower. If you haven’t read the book, I recommend picking it up and reading it. It’s an easy read. I’m not sure everyone would enjoy it as much as I did. Because to be honest it’s actually a little depressing. But it is now one of my favorite books. I think I will read it again soon. Anyways after being introduced to The Smiths through that book, I have grown to love them. <3 Enjoy.
You know the great thing, though, is that change can be so constant you don’t even feel the difference until there is one. It can be so slow that you don’t even notice that your life is better or worse, until it is. Or it can just blow you away, make you something different in an instant.
