“She told me she’d be happy to stare into his eyes all day.” said my grandmother. “That’s not how a marriage should be. You should be side by side, facing the world together, not looking into eachother’s eyes all day.” -Page 46, The Year Of Living Biblically

I love the book of Job.
Job was such a powerful man, and was extremely faithful to God. One day, Satan and God were talking and Satan said that he should take everything away from Job, and bet that he would blame God and turn against Him. But God said “go right ahead, just don’t lay a finger on Job, himself.” Because God knew that Job would never turn his back of forsake Him. So Satan totally...

You're gorgeous.
Don’t let anyone tell you differently, or make you think otherwise about yourself. You are. If you think you’ve convinced yourself that you’re unattractive or ugly, scrap that bullshit. If you haven’t been in a relationship, or no one seems to be interested, it doesn’t mean a thing. Strangers and acquaintances… they’re shielded by what they don’t...
There is a light that shines within me.
There is a hope that burns inside me. Deep within my soul, my very existence… there is a being waiting to be freed. A child who knows no fear, pain, or rejection. There is an emotion all encompassing of excitement, joyfullness, gladness, and love. With the creative potential of laughter and the undeniable power of an infant’s joy live inside me. Unmeasurable are my limits for i call...

Did you enjoy your time at the art studio today? You’re gonna love Spivey next year, he’s the best. :)
Yes I did! I’m so excited!
One of my new teachers
constantly says “*do such and such*…to make life easier…” or “…to make your life easier.” And for some reason it really irks my nerves. Life isnt supposed to be easy, and it shouldn’t be handed to you on a plate. That’s just lazy. The fun in it is the challenge. If everything was that easy, then what would be the point of going to school,...
Today
I watched the news for the first time in a long time. I usually don’t enjoy watching it, because there always seems to be some sort of depressing or discouraging news. But, for some odd reason… I flipped to the news, and the very first thing I saw was the devastation in Haiti. I cringed for a minute, thinking that I really wanted to change the channel, but stayed on for a little...
I want this.
“I am thinking it’s a sign that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images and when we kiss, they’re perfectly aligned. And I have to speculate that God himself did make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay.”
Watch
i feel oh so distant from You, my only.
How i long to hear Your voice say “I love you” one last time.
For You are worth every beat of my black heart, every breath of my stale lungs.
Come and find me on the floor, and take away our distance,
For all i am is Yours, and Yours alone.
Sing me to sleep, such a beautiful song,
As Your love melts my soul and calms my spirit.
i will rest in Your arms...
