The Notebook

In the quiet, deliciousness of a cool, Sunday morning,
I opened up my bible and read 1 Corinthians.
I re-read carefully Paul's exhortation for virgins, (that's me) to remain virgins because it was the "better" choice to make...
To wed, is not wrong, it is very "right", said Paul, but remaining a virgin would be...(gasp) BETTER than RIGHT.
phenomenal.

So, I meditated on that for a while, played some tunes on the keyboard, soaked in the afternoon sun....
and then decided to watch a movie.
I rummaged through my roommate's stack of dvds, and stumbled across a lovestory.
This lovestory I was told, was the best.
I was looked down upon for not having watched it or read it by my girlfriends, and even by some dudes...
so I decided to pop the dvd in, I mean how good could it possibly be?


Well, Mr. Sparks,
When it comes down to it,
I think I've already chosen the "right" way, rather than the "better".

The Last Battle

Usually I start with the first, but this summer, I have started with the last.

Confession: I have a crush on the unicorn.

Facts:
God is God
You cannot serve in the name of God, what is evil.
You are serving God, if you do good, whether you know it or not.
There is eternity, and it's better than perfect, forever and ever and ever and ever.


P.S.
I am not crazy.

mumbojumbo

Don't know how to start really...
the year's been a blur, smudges here and there.
Salty tears and my watering mouth, have ruined the precious pages.
But, one thing is clear.

I need Jesus

yeah, I need Him in the mornings,
in the sleepy afternoons,
and in the wake of the chilly nights,
when I come alive.

I need Him in my conversations,
in family time,
I need Him in you.
Yes you,
you who show me love,
show me strength,
compassion,
my sister, my brother, my family, my friend,
you, who Know Jesus.
There's no point, without Him at the root, the cause, the beginning, and the end.

It's time to move forward.

I choose not to settle today.
