so i’m at the vancouver airport, waiting for a charter bus to go to seattle. my thoughts range from a million and one topics, from the severity of my changes to my parents to my friends to what airport personnel are wearing. i know. i’m random. bear with me. in all my time traveling in the past and next couple weeks to come, i know i’ll have a lot of time to think.
<internal dialogue begin>
remember that dying feeling you felt pam? that was him. that was your expectation of him dying. i’m so glad that’s finally over. i was ready for the pain to be over.
<internal dialogue end>
do our frequency of thoughts attract what we’re thinking about? sometimes, the more i think about someone, the more they appear…in television, in the names we come across, in radio…the list goes on. i wonder if this happens for other people.

i’m extremely blessed by the intangible things i see occuring. growth in people. an agape relationship after a difficult break up.

i can’t believe i’m leaving the states for an extended period of time. indefinitely. some part of me thinks, i’m so ready for this. some part of me thinks. what in the world am i doing? but the world needs it. more and more i’m convicted that our lives are short. we ought to spend it, invested in the right things. in eternal things. in things that matter. and not for two weeks. for a lifetime.
Date the guy who has his heart set on having God’s heart. Date a guy who’s captured by Christ.
There’s nothing more beautiful than seeing that strong man that you’ve known melt in compassion and reverence in the presence of God. To see him fall to his knees, with tears in his eyes and hands held high, without a care to the world watching him. But you will notice, this guy’s got something.
Date the guy who’s not afraid to show it.
You’re lucky if you get him, for they’re not easy to find. They might say that they believe, just to be close to you. But if you find a guy who really loves God, hold on to him.
The guy who loves Jesus will respect you. He’ll pursue you, pray for you, treasure you. He won’t pressure you or control you, but gently walk beside you and lead you. He will appreciate you as the gift and beauty you are, and remind you of it every day.
The guy who loves Jesus will worship with you. He’ll pray for you, he’ll pray with you. He will lead you with strong hands, stand up when you can’t… but remind you that only God can satisfy. He’ll search you out like the Proverbs 31 Woman, and love you with agape like only he can.
Date a guy who loves Jesus with everything he is. He’ll be good to you, he’ll treat you well, and when you spend your life with him, it will be beautiful. He’s been created just for you, and together you’ll find and follow your purpose.
Date a guy who loves Jesus because you deserve it. and when you finally find him, don’t forget to thank God every single day he’s around.
Or better yet, marry a guy who loves Jesus.

that if everything goes as planned within the next three months i will no longer be stateside….
and i’m so tired of giving to them. not to mention the dishonor of not being given the truth.
my impatience is a a demonstration of a lack of trust in God’s timing.
God, Jesus, Holy spirit all exist in community,
God saw that it was not good that man was alone, so he made woman.
It’s crazy to just do it alone
But Trust brings us into community.
There are certain things that we value that we cannot tell another, because we simply do not trust.
Not…
i’ve been in a little bit of a rut the past couple days…bored, unmotivated, etc. but today i was reading a friend’s blog. And she just wrote about the love of God. And it hit me, for the umpteenth time, how much GOD LOVES ME. it’s ridiculous that i try to get love from all these other things, but really God loves me. scripture says, we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who LOVES us. so yeah, if you want to overcome, just think about and know how much He loves you. It’ll change it to overcome. that’s what real love does, it changes you. from the inside out.
