19 really feels no different. but i guess i shouldnt be disappointed by that. i think im ready to grow up and when i say grow up i mean like just be out of college and like 22 or something..  is that a problem? why am i so restless of this stage of life? why do i ask the Lord to help me dwell on His blessing of the now, yet find myself dwelling continually on His one day blessings later? why do those later blessings seem like their better blessings than the now blessings? im not as discontented as i sound, im enjoying life and all, but i jues cant get my head out of the clouds.. why am i so weird? 


why did i just ask you all SO many questions you wont really know how to answer??

i need to be cooler. im not cool right now .. seriously.

Real love, Real friendship is available and enthusiastic. Real love responds to people with eagerness and not with reluctance and regret for all the things that are being neglected in order to spend the time and attention on a friend. Real love builds treasure in Heaven, but it doesn't build any treasure on earth, or achieve any status. Real love costs your -whole- life.


im such a lover. seriously. God loved us so much He sent His son to die for us. He loves us so much that he continues to pursue us no matter how much we deny Him. He loves us through all the yuck. such yuck. He loves us the corinthians 13:4 way- well, duh. are we willing to love others like He does? I know i want to, but am i really willing to? 

i will break through my selfish sin, my insecurities, the enemy's grip & other's view and hold on me and ask The Almighty to make my want into my need to and will to. The beatles got it right- all we need is love. as sinners we want other things, and as humans we do need sustenance. but through Him, we only need love. love Him completely, love others unconditionally, and love ourselves truthfully. thats it. 

here's a quote i like alot. or i love actually. : ) thought i would share. its kinda corny, but im really corny. get used to it.

"if love is great, and there is no greater thing, then what i feel for you must be the -greatest.-"

tell someone you love them today. that you REALLY love them. cause if you lost them tomorrow, then at least you would know they really knew. 

i love -you-
