| Yes Jess - you are right...I do suck at updating my Xanga. Life is crazy busy and when it does slow down I'm not much of a computer chica so I often don't get to posting anything for very very long periods of time. So...here's to you Jess... In the throws of this life things happen, we change, we move, we evolve. I'm glad to see myself slowly continue to metamorphose into a light and soft butterfly after much time spent as a little and insignificant caterpillar. I love this quote...of course I don't know where I got it...but I still love it! "Just when the caterpillar thought his life was over, he turned into a beautiful butterfly." Amen and amen again. | | |
| Stand in
the rain....Stand your ground. Stand up when it's all crashing down.
Stand in the pain, you won't drown. Stand up when it's all crashing
down. Stand in the rain.
I
don't always feel like standing, and when I don't there is one who
holds me up . It is not of my own strength, but His. That is how it's
been for me lately. I know I must keep on standing and moving forward -
but I know I don't do it on my own.
Last week
I interviewed at LifeLine Youth and Family Services for a position at
the Riverwood Ranch - a home for troubled girls. The interview went
really well and I really feel like this is where God is calling me. I
think it's the next step in my journey and that excites me. However,
God may not open this door for me, but I do feel He is doing a great
work and preparing me for something more than Courthouse Coffee. Being
at Courthouse has been great for me, but I know it's time to move on.
We shall just have to wait and see I suppose :)

| The curves do keep coming...and i keep on bending. I will not break. I am strong. God sustains me and holds fast in the midst of this life. The ring I wear on my left hand is the ring I cling to. Truth is inscribed in the silver I wear daily. Truth is inscribed on my heart every moment and with every breath. I will not break. I am strong. Nothing that comes my way, no matter what it is, will bring me down to a place He cannot pull me up from. Some of the curves come as unexpected storms - some as violent surprises. Some however, your heart is already prepared for....some don't even cause one to waiver or bat an eyelash. They do make you wonder and question so many things...but alas, you rest in the hands of a Father who loves you, who wants to give you His best, and who will protect you from accepting anything less, no matter how painful it is. | | |
| Life throws you funny curves
every once in a while...what matters most is how you bend around them
and work through them. We move into the new house tomorrow - a
long anticipated event. I so long for a space that is my own and the
time has finally come. It will be a great place to process and continue
growing and learning as has happened much in my life in recent months.
Only God knows what will come my way next.

- Stand In The Rain
From the album Beauty
From Pain 1.1
She
never slows down
She doesn’t know why
But she knows that
when she’s all alone
It feels like it’s all coming down
She
won’t turn around
The shadows are long
And she fears if she
cries that first tear
The tears will not stop raining
down
Chorus:
So stand in the rain
Stand your
ground
Stand up when it’s all crashing down
You stand through
the pain
You won’t drown
And one day what’s lost can be
found
You stand in the rain
She won’t make a sound
Alone
in this fight with herself
And the fear’s whispering
If she
stands, she’ll fall down
She wants to be found
The only
way out is through everything
She’s running from
Wants to
give up and lie down
So stand in the rain
Stand your
ground
Stand up when it’s all crashing down
You stand through
the pain
You won’t drown
And one day what’s lost can be
found
You stand in the rain
What
more to say? There is something I meant to write a while ago - a
thought that I had but I haven't made it to a computer in a while and
when I did make it to one it was a brief and troublesome moment. What I
had wanted to say was something I have learned recently and to anyone
who bothers to read my randomness I shall dispense this great lesson
now...
Never ever settle for
something. Don't jump at the first thing you find because you are
afriad you may find nothing else. Know what you want and don't settle
for anything less than that. Love yourself enough not to want, or
accept, anything else but God's best for you. Love yourself enough to
not need that which you may feel you need in order to like yourself.

| "I will
lift my eyes to the Maker of the Heavens and the Earth. I will lift my
eyes to the Healer of the hurt I hold inside. O God my God, your
beloved needs you."
Enough
All of You is more than enough for
All of me for every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You
Is more than enough
You are my supply
My breath of life
Still more awesome than I know
You are my reward
Worth living for
Still more awesome than I know
You're my sacrifice of greatest price
Still more awesome than I know
You're my coming King You're everything
Still more awesome than I know
Sometimes the best way to say it has already been said. Then you just sit and embrace it...
