1. you are alive. people are being diagnosed with fatal diseases, being hit by cars, starving to death every mintue. you are alive. you likely do not have two months or two weeks to live but a beautiful stretch of time, go do something with it! be happy!

2. you will die. It’s hard to believe, right? but it is true. our days are limited. don’t waste them.

3. kindness doesn’t take anything from you, but it gives so much. seriously, kindness to others is pretty much always good. stop trying to think of an exception and being so cynical.

4. we don’t get time back.

5. sometimes being on the computer depresses me, but it’s like a drug. I know I should quit but it keeps pulling me in.

6. everyone has a story that is tragic, that is beautiful, that is good enough to be a work of fiction.

7. people aren’t so different after all.

People change. They leave your life. People you know become people you knew. Change is an inevitable course of life, so you might as well make the best it. The more you try to make circumstances remain the same, the more you miss out on the present and a chance for new experiences. New friends. New joys.

Truth is, whether you like it or not the future is becoming the present one minute at a time and everything you know is slowly changing, so the best you can do is to accept that. Or even better: embrace it.

michael jackson died. though he’s a bit of a psycho, but his songs arent that bad. and his dances too. quite outstanding.

Song from Jackson 5-

I’ll be There

You and I must make a pact, we must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I’ll be there

I’ll reach out my hand to you, I’ll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I’ll be there

I’ll be there to comfort you,
Build my world of dreams around you, I’m so glad that I found you
I’ll be there with a love that’s strong
I’ll be your strength, I’ll keep holding on

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, well that’s all I’m after
Whenever you need me, I’ll be there
I’ll be there to protect you, with an unselfish love that respects you
Just call my name and I’ll be there

If you should ever find someone new, I know he’d better be good to you
‘Cause if he doesn’t, I’ll be there
Don’t you know, baby, yeah yeah
I’ll be there, I’ll be there, just call my name, I’ll be there

(Just look over your shoulders, honey – oo)

I’ll be there, I’ll be there, whenever you need me, I’ll be there
Don’t you know, baby, yeah yeah

I’ll be there, I’ll be there, just call my name, I’ll be there…

Humans are complex creatures. June 25, 2009

I frowned thoughtfully. “How about: the moment our eyes collided across the crowded hallway the thudding of my heart and they way you stole my breath made me realise that you were the tomato sauce on my fries, the power cord to my electrical socket, the painkiller to my period pain, the twinkle twinkle to my little star – without you I am incomplete!” I concluded with a dramatic flourish.

sleepless nights. June 24, 2009

and then i realised.

“ Things are getting worse. Please, send chocolate ” June 23, 2009

worship team training ytd was nerve-wrecking i guess. kinda scary.

sometimes the slightest thing people say hurt you soo much.

and time passes so fast.

“ Life isn’t about keeping score. It’s not about how many people call you, and it’s not about who you’ve dated, are dating, or haven’t dated at all. it isn’t about who you kissed, what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you. Its not about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin or where you live or go to school. In fact, its not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. Life isn’t about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and its not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn’t about that. But life is about who you love. and who you hurt. It’s about how you feel about yourself. It’s about trust, happiness, and compassion. It’s about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love one else’s in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise. ” – Nike Ad

When the music fades. June 22, 2009

ｎｏｓｔａｌｇｉｃ． June 21, 2009

-via i can read

I believe the saddest thing in life, is caring so much for someone and then one day you look into their eyes and listen to them talk and realize that they are gone. All you see in front of you is a stranger with just a known name.

Things. June 21, 2009

Lysa TerKeurst

“And this is my prayer, that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight.” Philippians 1:9 (NIV)

When we hear of another person’s struggle is our first desire to more closely examine ourselves or more closely scrutinize this other person? It’s a question worth considering. It’s a question worth holding up to Biblical truth.

Over the past couple of days I’ve received three e-mails about an acquaintance of mine that is on the cover of many tabloid magazines right now. This devotion is not meant in any way to defend, offend, discuss, rehash, or remark about this woman I care about. This devotion is about you and me.

And those three e-mails.

The first e-mail I received used such hateful remarks it hurt my head to read it. Seriously, I could have skipped my run for that day because reading that e-mail set my heart racing as much as a good cardio workout. It was dripping with judgment, condemnation, and venomous words like “shameful” and “hate.”

The second e-mail I received was a “Christian” call to action. It was strong and slightly demanding that I do something harsh about this situation. You know, rain down a little hell fire and brimstone in an effort to correct the actions of this woman in question. All in “love”‘ of course.

The third e-mail was completely different. It still expressed concern, and rightly so. However, in complete humility she said she’s using this situation as a call to pray for this woman’s life, and as a call to action to examine her own.

She said as she watched this woman being featured on TV, she saw things that bothered her. So, she asked herself some very tough questions about her own life – her own marriage – her own attitude about the importance she places on God. And she found herself falling short. With great honesty and courage, she set aside her judgments of another, and got down on her knees.

If I could have jumped through cyber-space, I would have thrown my arms around the author of the third e-mail and hugged her.

Sisters, I do believe with all my heart that there is a place for Christian accountability. I believe it is biblical and necessary. However, making judgmental remarks, rolling our eyes, belittling someone we don’t personally know or do life with in the real world, and sending hateful e-mails is neither biblical or necessary.

It’s sin.

It’s totally missing the mark of what God has called His girls to be and to do.

If the actions and attitudes of another person hurt our heart and rub our soul the wrong way – be it a neighbor or a woman on the cover of a tabloid – I pray we handle it with the grace and dignity Jesus enables us to have. “And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment” (Phil. 1:9).

And may we always remember the person in question is loved by God. He may not love their actions and He most certainly doesn’t love anyone’s sin, but the person, He loves.

They are loved.

She is loved.

We are loved.

Totally and immensely, unfathomably and remarkably, beautifully and abundantly loved.

Dear Lord, before I start picking at the splinters that are so easy to spot in other’s eyes, may I have the humility to examine the plank I don’t want to see in my own eye. Search me Lord, see if there is any wicked way within me and reveal it. Give me wisdom to know what to do about my own sin, a filter of grace by which to see others’ sins, and a heart restrained from rash reactions because of Your love in me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

What Happens When Women Say Yes to God by Lysa TerKeurst

What Happens When Women Walk in Faith by Lysa TerKeurst

Join or begin a Gather and Grow Group for accountability, spiritual growth and deep friendships.

Application Steps:
When confronted with someone judging another person, how will I respond? What is a good, biblical answer that I’ve thought through in advance to offer up in this kind of situation? Why not read through the Scriptures in this devotion and on Lysa’s blog to prepare yourself?

Reflections:
Imagine yourself standing at the grocery store line seeing all of your actions, reactions, mishaps, and misquotes splashed across the magazines for all the world to see?

Thinking about this really makes me pause to remember, those are people. Real people with real feelings. No amount of worldly success or popularity takes away the sting of cruelty being thrown in their direction. What an opportunity Christians have to pray for those people – really pray for them. And what a testimony of the reality of Jesus when we make the uncommon choice say, “no comment.”

Power Verses:
Matthew 7:3, “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?” (NIV)

Psalm 139:23-24, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” (NIV)

Proverbs12:18, “Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” (NIV)

ripped opened. June 13, 2009

hello. better write this down before i forget that i wanted to take note of it.
Paster David was talking about being wise people and somehow he just started talking about scars during sermon.

scars heal, leaving a scab, which will split open if the wound is tampered. and its more painful then the last. its like ripping brand new soft skin off your already healing and painful wound. and when we keep thinking, reminding people or ourselves about stuff that hurt, the pain’s excruciating.  [it was something like that, just that i rephrased it. ]

and seeing you again after so long, just makes it feel much worst.

and i need a new phone:O

you. June 10, 2009
