Your heart soars.
You're passionate.
You want to help.
You want to be in the forefront. You don't mind missing out on the white picket fence and the SUV.
People are dying.
You have the means.
People are hurting.
Love them then.

The U.S.
Overseas.
Your backyard.
The kid in the next neighborhood.
Open up your mind.
Love, love, love with everything.
Think. Ponder. Ask.
Keep fighting.


"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit" - Aristotle

I want this

“a Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t”
-Charles Spurgeon

I found this quote on friends tumblr and wanted to repost this. Is this really true?

Somehow, I'd like to think that it is. Guess I better get to work.

up and at 'em!

Something has re-awakened itself within me. Giddy feeling? maybe. Sheer joy to be honest. I have done my very best to run from certain things in my life. Positions, and various opportunities. No more running. I let Him catch me. I'm ready to move forward, He's been preparing me. I am fully aware that I am not perfect and that I'll make mistakes. I'm also fully aware that it won't be as easy as pie (never understood that saying, how is pie easy?!) and that sometimes I'll want to throw in the towel, doubt myself and doubt why He's chosen me.

Life can be so difficult sometimes. Authenticity can be so hard to find in others, especially in myself. But, He's willing! Praise God! He is willing to wait for me to figure it out and when I don't he gives me a little nudge (a big one usually...often.).

Praise God! Praise God! PRAISE GOD!

Alright, so I'm a little excited. Okay, Okay I'm ALOT excited because God is SO good and I'd forgotten for awhile but finally remembered.

Thank goodness for remembering.

Sometimes, you just got to smile somethin' fierce.

Qui craint de souffrir, il souffre déjà de ce qu'il craint. -La Fontaine

Fear. Of suffering.

Fear. an unpleasant emotion caused by
the belief that someone
or something is dangerous,
likely to cause pain, or a threat

Fear.

I think La Fontaine put it nicely: Qui craint de souffrir, il souffre déjà de ce qu'il craint.
Translation: He who fears suffering is already suffering that which he fears.

hair's the story...

a year ago, during the month of February, I chopped off all my hair. Ok, almost off. I wasn't completely bald, but it was pretty short.

Here's my life goal:
