“And so my prayer is that your story will have involved some leaving and some coming home, some summer and some winter, some roses blooming out like children in a play. My hope is your story will be about changing, about getting something beautiful born inside of you about learning to love a woman or a man, about learning to love a child, about ( Read more... )

so it seems i've lost interesting LJ again. though i have started a seperate journal just for talking to god (quite an interesting adventure, btw. i suggest it if you need something to spice up your prayer life, etc.)

Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,

And today I went to an amazing worship service, then ate lunch with amazing people that i adore. and God was EVERYWHERE. i felt so incredibly blessed and loved i could barely contain myself.

I just wish i knew I was where I'm ( Read more... )

“When you're young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then, you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don't leap at all because there's not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there's no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?”
