U2

Grace, she carries a world on her hips
No champagne flute for her lips
No twirls or skips between her fingertips
She carries a pearl in perfect condition
What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings
Because Grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things

YOUR eyes

sometimes (ok...most of the time) i feel like i am waiting for something that may never come.





i wish i could see the world through YOUR eyes.
that would make a world of difference for me.





i feel so far away from where i want to be.
i've been so completely & utterly lost for
the past i don't know how long. i am in
desperate need to hear the voice of the
One i love. i need to be rescued. i need
Him to carry me away...

personal(ity)

i feel like any relationship/friendship has to begin with being personal. i mean if you can't be personal, how can you have a relationship with anyone? i guess you are hearing this from someone who believes that you need to say exactly what you want to say when you are thinking it (unless of course it is offensive or whatever)...so sometimes i'm sure i can come across a little strong in that area. but i love people. a lot. i love meeting new people. i think that the greatest thing in the world you can give people (aside from Jesus & love of course) is a compliment. everyone loves them. how can you not smile when someone compliments you. i feel like today in our society it is more difficult to compliment someone of the opposite sex in fear that they will "think more of what is was than what you actually meant." but luckily i have overcome this fear. i'm sure people have taken the wrong idea from something i said, but when in the world did a compliment mean that you were "hitting on someone." haha. there has to become a point in your life where you're just happy to be you, unafraid of saying the things that you want to say...instead of just thinking them in your head. i've found this to be tremendously rewarding & i've met some amazing people in the process.

so there is my advice for today. nothing too over the top, but it's the weekend...i'm trying to rest my brain until finals week.

.cheers.






ps. you look beautiful by the way :)

so long

i want to pack up my things.
& head out to the east coast.
with you.
right now.
just me & you.
let's jump off the shoreline.
your hand in mine.
the sand under our feet.
let's go anywhere.
anywhere but here.
anywhere fast.
you're eyes have me spinning.
all i'm doing now.
is holding on for dear life.




.love.

i wish

i could carry my computer with me wherever i go.

i always have the most profound things in my head, but then when i sit down to write them out, i've forgotten everything...






i'm completely bowing out gracefully this time. it's the hardest thing basically ever. but i'm doing it.

and i'm doing it with a smile on my face.

yes i know. thank you. i should recieve some kind of hand clap or award.

better yet a massive hug.




Run, baby, run
Don’t ever look back
They’ll tear us apart if you give them the chance
Don’t sell your heart
Don’t say we’re not meant to be
Run, baby, run
Forever we’ll be

end of story

almost home

i can't believe that the semester is almost over. just a little over a month & i'll be home sweet home. how sweet it will be i have no idea. because i'm supposed to be taking classes all summer. it has been so unbelieveably tiring to even get everything done in order to do that. now classes are almost full. haha. exhaustion. not to mention i have 89 million papers, projects & tests coming up. what's a girl to do?


*i'm not really getting my hopes entirely up, but maybe things will start looking up elsewhere. at least i hope they do.

my sighs of hope...that keep me breathing. & my patient watches out at the night sky.*

the turn around has to be on it's way. absolutely has to.






oh & today's good friday. i have no idea why Jesus died to save me...
but i'm so grateful He did. & that He conquered death & the grave
so that i could have life.


YHWH.
My hero.
You're everything i wish could be.
The only thing i need.
I love You.


-just a few days ago i was in the shower...
crying out to God. i do mean literally crying
out. Weeping all over the shampoo bottles yet
He still loves me.

i have no idea why we don't love like Jesus does.
but it is my personal goal to live my life with
His love pouring from my heart.



and i pray to God, i will keep catching these glimpses
of His heart in the most unlikely of places.



"Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saves a wretch like me
I once was lost
And now I'm found
Was blind but now I see."





.much love
from the Father's heart
and mine.
