it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. love never fails.<br

it's not the things in my life that hinder my relationship with God, but it's the things not in my life that do that...<br />i'm at a weird place in my life right now. someplace i thought i wouldn't be, quite honestly. i've recently started dating someone and i struggle with the fact that a guy could actually like me enough to want to be in a relationship with me. and i can't understand how he can be so nice to me and patient. i feel like i'm so new to all this and don't know a thing. the girls on my floor are like...guys like mystery...don't make yourself too available...blah blah blah...but i don't understand...they should offer a course about relationships for people like me :(<br />well...better get ready for class...maybe the sooner i get ready, the sooner class will end

Beatle's lead guitar<br />Have another Chevis Regal<br />You're twelve years old and sex is legal<br />Your parents don't know where or who you are<br /><br />It used to be the hero of the ball game<br />Took the time to shake the loser's hand<br />It used to be that failure only meant you didn't try<br />In a world where people gave a damn<br /><br />Great big wars in little places<br />And look at all those frightened faces.<br />But don't come here we just ain't got the room<br /><br />Love thy neighbor's wife and daughter<br />We cleanse our lives with holy water<br />Yet we don't need to bathe, we've got perfume.<br /><br />It used to be a knight in shining armor<br />Didn't have to own a shiny car<br />Cause dignity and courage were the measure of a man<br />And not the drugs he needs to hide his scars<br /><br />And can your teacher read?<br />And does your preacher pray?<br />And does your president have soul?<br />Have you heard a real good ethnic joke today?<br /><br />A momma took her speed, daddy ran away<br />But you mustn't lose control<br />You see the kids are wild<br />We just can't tame them<br />But do we have the right to blame them<br /><br />We fed 'em all our indecisions<br />And raped their minds with television<br />But what the heck, they're too young to feel pain<br /><br />But I believe love will save tomorrow<br />And I believe the truth will make us free<br />And someone tried to say it and we nailed Him to a cross<br />I guess it's still the way it used to be urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:iss:26425 2003-12-01T05:37:21Z

down to the point where i can't go anywhere...i'm just constantly reminded of our world and how desperate it is for a saviour...because i can't carry the bricks all the time...because someday i'll get tired...because i can never give the right answers...because i'm weak and need a Saviour myself... urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:iss:26195 2003-11-30T20:29:49Z 2003-11-30T20:29:49Z today as i was driving back to school, i was thinking about how i'll be out in the "real world" soon and how that scares me half to death to move on, but i know i can't stay where i'm at...and as i was wrestling through my feelings, this song by sara groves comes on and it was just me at that very moment...so i thought i'd share it with ya'll...<br /><br />Painting Pictures of Egypt<br />By Sara Groves<br /><br />Verse 1: I don’t want to leave here<br />I don’t want to stay<br />It feels like pinching to me<br />Either way<br />And the places I long for the most<br />Are the places where I’ve been<br />They are calling out to me<br />Like a long lost friend<br /><br />Verse 2: It’s not about losing faith<br />It’s not about trust<br />It’s all about comfortable<br />When you move so much<br />And the place I was wasn’t perfect<br />But I had found a place to live<br />And it wasn’t milk or honey<br />But then neither is this<br /><br />Chorus: I’ve been painting pictures of Egypt<br />Leaving out what it lacks<br />And the future feels so hard<br />And I want to go back<br />But the places they used to fit me<br />Cannot hold the things I’ve learned<br />Those roads were closed off to me<br />While my back was turned<br /><br />Verse 3: The past is so tangible<br />I know it by heart<br />Familiar things are never easy <br />To discard<br />I was dying for some freedom<br />But now I hesitate to go<br />I am caught between the Promise<br />And the things I know<br /><br />Chorus<br /><br />Bridge: If it comes to quick<br />I may not appreciate it<br />Is that the reason behind all this time and sand?<br />And if it comes to quick<br />I may not recognise it<br />Is that the reason behind all this time and sand? urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:iss:25941 2003-11-26T05:47:07Z

burdens lately. it's weird...like, i feel burdened for people, but just recently my heart has been in a constant state of pain for the things that happen in other people's lives...it's hard...it makes me feel helpless.<br />i can never figure out why i even have this thing...i generally have nothing to say and i update once a year.<br />things i'm thankful for: mom, dad, mike, claire, lydia, my grandparents and other relatives, my friends...but especially sarahreid for giving me courage and confidence (it sounds corny, but ah well), for my RA staff, laughter, food on the table, music, love, Creation, smiles, daisies, my floor, school, howie's life, break, books that make you a better person, but most importantly a God who makes me a better person...<br />i'm sure the list could go forever because each day i see new things that i'm thankful for...<br />i wanna go back to the basics. love. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:iss:25741 2003-10-31T01:38:26Z 2003-10-31T01:38:26Z
