Return to Xanga
"When you choose independence over relationship, you become a danger to each other. Others become objects to be manipulated or managed for your own happiness. Authority, as you usually think of it, is merely an excuse the strong use to make others conform to what they want."-- YoungCan't we all just get along?
I can feel all the drama heading my way.
I'm going to stand tall this time. I won't back down.
I'm a different girl this time around.
I'm just a little bit stronger.
People are still people despite of their beliefs, actions, thoughts, and dreams. We all have our own little story. My thing is... Hardly anyone is ever willing to actually listen to them. *sigh*
God is good. He is beautiful. He is infinite. I will never be able to understand Him. This is why I love Him and trust Him so..
I'm not going to ever stop asking.

Tonight's topic was humility.
Do I live my life for me or for God? Do my concerns circle around me or Him?
Do I do things for God or do I allow him to do things through me?
I'm not a humble person. I compare myself to other people all the time. I use other people to make myself feel better. I think to myself "Wow, I'm glad I'm not as judgmental as him." As terrible as that sounds... I do it. I try not to but it happens.
I was driving around last night thinking (I tend to do my best thinking while driving around aimlessly) and came to a realization. I have always wanted to go skydiving but I'm not sure if I will be able to actually do it. I mean to actually take that step out of the airplane into nothing and fall. Just fall. I know once I start falling it will be the best feeling in the world and the greatest adrenaline rush ever, but the initial step is going to be the hardest. Then, tonight while listening to the lesson on humility I thought about my skydiving fears. I'm afraid to take that step. I'm afraid to let go of everything and allow God to have complete control. I think this is why I compare myself to other people because it allows me to retain some sort of control. The first step is going to be the hardest but I know that everything after that will be the best thing that could ever happen to me.
It's funny how things in life happen.
Anyways... I just wanted to share my thoughts.
Tonight's the night when the sinners and the saints,
Two worlds collide,
In a glorious display.

Sometimes I wish I lived in a book. A book with intricate plotlines and poetic words. A story which is filled with metaphors, magical scenery, and an overall sense of comfort.
Every once in a while, I will be reading a book and really and truly wish for it to never end. It is as though the life I am always striving for is only alive in the books that I read; I guess one could say I am simply longing for a fairytale life. Is there anything wrong with that?
The things I want in life are simple. I have no desire for material matters or earthly things. The things I want are love, laughing, comfort, security, etc.
I guess the best part about books, for me, is the way the author can express in words the things I cannot.
The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome.
