You: It seems like everytime I turn around something bad happens or something goes wrong

Me: Well then, stop turning around

You can not read a book with your face buried in the pages

Your head will hide the light that allows you to see the words

and the extreme closeness distorts your vision

in order to see something as it really is

take a step back and observe it from a distance

Life is a volume of books that captures your story one day at a time. The problem with the book of life is the fact that as a character in the story, it's hard to see all aspects of the story and impossible to predict the end of the story. You go with the flow of life with no chance to take a moment and look at the way things are playing out. In order to understand what is going on in your story and possibly guide the story's destination, it is necessary to pause at the end of every chapter and review what has been written. Although it is impossible to go back and edit the mistakes, knowing the mistakes makes it that much easier to recognize forthcoming mistakes before it is too late. if you complete your story without taking time to read the beginning, chances are, many of the mistakes you made in the beginning will be repeated again and then again in the end.

It's funny how you thought making money would trump making a diference.

How Foolish.

Your breathing interrupts the silence

Keeping me from a steady sleep

Searching for a comfortable position

You move a lot

The best rest I've ever had

Just breathing the same air as you.

You left your fingerprints on my heart

Love on Purpose

Live on Purpose

Be on Purpose

Who are you when nobody's looking?

Ultimately, it's God that you will have to answer to.
Maybe He will be more understanding.

"I'm just preparing my impromptu remarks."

-Winston Churchill

You're there whenever they need you. A helping hand, a listening ear, you are so much to so many people. I wonder who does that for you? Could I?

I wonder what life is like

inside your arms

I wish you could wrap me in your petals

and take me away

hide me

I wish you deserved better

For the longest time I questioned your judgement. I wondered why you would make the choices you make and why you would put up with and take the things that you take. I kept thinking to myself, you can do better. You deserve better. But maybe I just wish you did.

I wish you had the right to say, "I refuse to deal with a 'man' who smokes and drinks. I refuse to deal with a 'man' who cheats. All the loud talking, cursing and rudeness, it's just not for me. Video games, not so much. And if it's not right in my spirit, then there is no us. "

For the longest time, I prayed for your spirit of discernment to be strong enough to guide you through. Now, I can only pray God's mercy for you. I wish you deserved better. But honestly, you don't. And as much as I hate to accept it, you reap what you sow.

My Sleeve Wasn't Big Enough

just because somebody can handle the worst of you, doesnt mean they deserve the best of you.

If you are a parent and you have a child in school (K-12), then maybe you should consider considering yourself a student also. Make time to do homework, study, review classwork, etc. These days, some teachers don't actually teach, so it's up to you to make sure your child learns something.

Love yourself enough

it shouldnt matter if anyone else does

Love is blind

love isn't always blind

but sometimes

it makes you blind

and other times

it makes you close your eyes

.

I don't know which is worse

Not being able to see

or

Not wanting to see

People say, "In spirit and in truth" as if there is a difference.

When is your spirit ever not true?

If you cant trust your spirit, you can't trust you.
