... I don't know, I had spanish in it....

After twelve years of therapy my psychiatrist said something that brought tears to my eyes. He said, 'No hablo ingles.'

Words from a smart woman

I cannot comprehend making huge life decisions apart from faith. The Christian life is an ongoing blend of our will and God's will coming together to move. Yes, we surrender to God. But he gives us wants, desires, wishes, goals, dreams...all those things. When our will and God's will merge it is a beautiful thing. There peace and joy that comes when we move foreward knowing we aren't just driving foreward on "our personal agenda." Sometimes we drive foreward just out of obedience to God's agenda, and our heart isn't in it. And some times we have to deny ourselves things we want out of obedience. But most of the time, we move under the meshing of God's will and ours.

Change

Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.

I am a little fearful, very hopeful, and need to be more confident.

Wow...

Liz: In the dark, I heard your voice. What did you say?
Hellboy: I said, "Hey, you, on the other side- let her go. Because for her I will cross over, and then you'll be sorry!"

Who knew Hellboy was such a charmer!

My "God loves you" song

You say your falling apart
Reached the end of the line
Just looking for your place in an ordinary life
No one calls you friend
No one even knows your name
You just want to feel loved instead of all the pain

You no longer have to say
No one’s listening anyway

Come here and cry on my shoulder
I’ll hold you ‘till it’s over
I’ll rescue you tonight
Let my arms be your shelter
Your hiding place forever
I’ll love you more than life

You’re wearing a frown
Given up on hope
My heart is reaching out
More than you will ever know
Is your burden too much?
Is it more than you can bear?
I’ll help carry the load if you’re willing to share

You no longer have to say
No one’s listening anyway

Come here and cry on my shoulder
I’ll hold you ‘till it’s over
I’ll rescue you tonight
Let my arms be your shelter
Your hiding place forever
I’ll love you more than life

You have had some hard times
Had thorns placed in your side
I know about what you’ve been going through
Tears of pain are falling down
It hurts so bad you’re crying out
Your problems won’t last forever
Let me put you back together

Come here and cry on my shoulder
I’ll hold you ‘till it’s over
I’ll rescue you tonight
Let my arms be your shelter
Your hiding place forever
I’ll love you more than life

Come here and cry on my shoulder
I’ll hold you ‘till it’s over
I’ll rescue you tonight
Let my arms be your shelter
Your hiding place forever
I’ll love you more than life

Random quote that seems to kinda work.

I write because I'm afraid to say some things out loud.

P.S. Thanks Nate for actually responding to some of my posts.

Dear God,

Help me to be content with what I have right now.

pwned!

Matthew 22:34-40
Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"

Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

So the Pharisees tried to trick Jesus with a question that they thought they could easily challenge and in doing so, embarrass him and ruining his reputation as a teacher. The thing is he had some 300+ laws to choose from, and so if he said one, then they could just respond as "Well, what about this law..." and his credibility would be questioned, therefore loosing some followers. But Jesus had the right answer. Completely backfired on them. ^_^
