kismet happens

be keen

don't run from your dreams

passion carries through

your dreams are more than a sport

take away the finish line

always petition to strive

goals without dates

never ending, just pursuing

it happens

the right story is the right now

embrace the chance

exist without fear

bypass doubt

start trusting Him.

Live in the now, embrace what you want to be, let God guide your persistence and prove to the world what won't defeat you.

Whole-Hearted

It's been over a year that I have been living on my own. When I first moved my biggest independence worries were learning to pay bills, buy groceries, cook for myself, and navigate around town without getting lost. Though through this process of being independent I have learned that it is so much more than that for me. It's about putting all my hearts dependance on God. It's about not loosing my focus when life meets me with a train wreck. It's about making time to devote time and energy to pursuing God's will, God's love, and God's path for my life. I need God to hold onto my heart, not the world to, the enemy to, or myself to hold onto it. I need to be whole-hearted.
For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His. 2 Chronicals 16:9


|Cure for Heart Disease|
When the ground is shaking I can stand firm with You
and though trials will prevail, so will Your love.
With energy at a low and my heart heavy with weight
there's passion, persistence and courage in an envelope to date.
Behold the truth and create a pattern you can submit
for the prescription for disorder is in a healthy heart that envelopes a God
so mighty in love and mighty in peace
So pick up every piece and gather your faith
cause God has the glue to cure this disease.
Smile and rejoice cause He has the cure
the cure to find what you've been searching for.


Whole-hearted my heart will be Yours.

Love you all,

Unconcealed Face

[if you're a male, this post isn't for you.]

 wake up.

make up.

cover your face up.

conceal the true you

your choice

your new appearance

you're a walking canvas

don't forget it.

Pick up any modern magazine aimed at females.

The majority of it is articles based on appearance, and they sure don't want you to forget it!

Exercise and eating. Alright, you want to be healthy, great!

Clothes, please wear them.

Makeup...Not quite the necessity.

For me, I have never been much of a full out makeup wearer. I like mascara, and eye shadow, sometimes eyeliner. Though recently I've been wearing it more often, cover up, blush or bronzer, mascare, eyeliner, multiple eye shadows...  I feel like I've forgotten that I have a real face behind it all. So I'm going to be fasting make up for this week.

I challenge you girls.. Instead of finding the best lip gloss, or mascara. Find a good make up remover. Something that wipes away the residue from eye liner and mascara easily. Wear your face proudly. God made you beautiful as you are. God didn't put make up on Eve. I mean, she really didn't even have clothes.

Please only refer to that sense of style in the shower though! Haha. The makeup is nice every once in awhile, but don't use it to hide the true you. The world seems to think that makeup is a need, they want you to depend on it. Don't be dependent on something that conceals the true you.

See your beauty as the makeup runs off your face.

And as some musical inspiration for the week: Beautiful - Group 1 Crew

Forget sleep, lets write!

Another blog?

Yeah!

But it hasn't even been 24 hours since your last one?

Yeah, I know! Usually they're days or a week apart.

Haha.. alright. Last night I got a lot of rest. Needless to say. I am not very tired.

So I was talking to God, and thanking Him. I have come a long way from where I was a year ago.

And there are people that were removed from my life, for good reason. although those reasons may not have made sense in the past. They sure do now. And it wasn't just people, but situations, environments, and mentalities. Not to say there weren't any good people, situations, environments, and mentalities.. Because there absolutely was! Plenty in which I miss greatly. Anyway, the dreams I've been having lately aren't as terrible as they used to be. They're becoming as pleasant as my new living situation is. They're about living here, and people here. Not only that, but the people I love and miss greatly from before get mixed in too. It's been the best. So I was about to write a status about my happy thoughts on twitter. Then I took the words and started writing. A poem came to be, yay! So here it is.

it's nice to be away from you
to be so far away
to exist in my own reality
no longer bound with shame
I'm free from the trap
the bait no longer tempts me

as often as the chances have always been there
the choices just began to embrace the opportunities
a home I can call my own
a place I can be alone
yet never lonely for my God engulfs me
and places people in the path I'm walking

His promises ring truth
my purpose with Him is fulfilling
the past is really gone
and the present is worth living
now I can live free, so please
consume me dreams..
dreams of my new reality

I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did, even though the meaning is personal to me. I will often put my poetry within my blog, so keep on the lookout. =]

Thanks for reading my blog, I appreciate is a ton!

Desperate.

[This is my first blog, so I suppose it's quite typical for me to put a small message here about...stuff. First off, one of my best friends, BrittanyRose, inspired me to start writing blogs. Our blog names start with the same word. Yes, I did this on purpose. [Hope you're okay with this Britt!] For weeks I had been wanting to start writing, and now when I get the time [when I say time, I mean I'm putting aside sleep for a short bit.] I don't feel as inspired with as much words. Though it will be a process. For now I'm going to my roots of a original blogging norm for myself.  Poetry.]

This poem was written Monday March 29, 2010 while I was listening to worship music at Revolution Church of Arcadia. God told me to get a pen and some paper, this is what came out...

There's a spirit inside of you,
So very desperate to move.
Forget the pain, there is love covering you.
His love, full of compassion and grace,
Wanting to break through.
Through your walls,
Through your anger,
Through your fears,
To set free your dreams,
And prove the Christ in you.
Child be calm,
There's peace readily available for you.
Your flesh was forgiven,
And now it's time to let His spirit show through.
Show through and begin the Revolution in you,
Because there's a movement in you.
A movement that praises your Redeemer.
A movement that reflects your Savior.
A movement that is steadfast.
And declaring the whole of you.
Declaring to the world who lives in you.
So stand up,
And share who died for you,
Will you?


God is seriously infatuated with you. [when I say "you" I mean every single human being on this earth, no matter who you are inside and/or out.] He really does LOVE all of his people. He sent His son to die for you and then He sent His Spirit to live in you. His spirit was sent to comfort you when you're sad, to help you when you're struggling, and guide you to make wise decisions. Though as awesome as it is to know His spirit is inside of you, it's ever more awesome to tell the people who do not know Christ's spirit is inside of them. Revelation is a beautiful thing, and when a mass amount of people get a revelation it starts a movement, which creates a Revolution.
