I asked a friend to give me a word.
'Happiness,' she said.
Happiness- a state of momentary bliss.
A feather floating free...
An opportunity to stop searching
and for a moment just to be-
Still.
As the moment subsides
and life comes into view,
the quest begins again.

Stuff to Say
As the theories develop
we define ourselves once again
where does the standard lie
and are we black or white?
the sources of our information are scattered.
lies become the truth
and friends cross enemy lines.
what would you risk your life for?
if you had to walk across a fallen tree, rotten and soggy with river,
what would you do it for?
sure, its easy to list people that are worth the sacrifice of our lives
but what causes, moral standings, ethical beliefs, religious views
constitute your death?
have you ever been a martyr?
in a crowd of plenty have you stood alone?
of course, this is not a requirement in 'normal' life,
but these are extraordinary, biblical times.
its time to define our individual selves,
and unite for a common wellbeing.
its time to put aside our hopes and dreams
for the greater good of humanity.
humanity.
who, do you believe, afforded us breath?
who has felt so compassion and love for something as great as his own compassion?
tell me, what has your God done for you?
Mine believed so much in me he thought about me before creation.
Mine knew that i would stumble time and time again.
Mine smiled each time i stumbled because He knew i would soon learn to walk.
My God gave me a life, has allowed me to live it how i chose,
and waited patiently while i discovered the truth of His Son.
Sure, we all know the story of Jesus, how He was born to save us from our sins,
to give us opportunity at eternal life, even though our sins are deadly.
God gave me Jesus to show me the way.
Each day is a struggle to do what is right.
Fortunately, I now account to my Savior, my Father and no longer to man.
Each decision I make and have made as a Christian, and more recently, a born-again Christian, has been a walk in faith.
I am prepared to embark on the rest of my journey with Christ.
I hold His hand.
I share His love.
I am by no means perfect, and some may categorize me as a hypocrite based on past behavior.
Each decision I have ever made has led me to this point.
I am now aware of the greatness of my sins, what they are (for the most part)
and each sin I commit from this point forward will weigh on me, and press me towards repentence.
As your friend, I will walk with you as much as possible.
I will be here when I can.
I will listen and try to help guide.
And i will pray for those who ask for it.
It is time for us to put our country in a prayer wheel, and pray for our leaders.
We cannot bash opposing parties, we must define our lines and defend our beliefs.
Pray for prayer in schools- it is now a crime punishable by crime.
Pray for abortion to be abolished, it is not in God's plan.
There can be no gray on these issues, the gray areas are killing our future Christians.
Be involved in spreading the word.
Persecute me if you like, i will continue to speak my mind.
I will continue to find my purpose as a Christian.
Its time for all of us to unite and put an end to the murder of our faith.
God Speed- I love you.

Small thoughts
note via phone. Just because...
read romans.
listen to bridge over troubled water.
Have dinner with one of the earliest best friends whom you leave off and pick up with.
Share a unique similar story with someone random.
wake up and realize that today is better than the last.
Make it better than the last.
bloom and grow forever.
stay up reading the Word until you overflow and then write a note.
learn from those before you.
right a wrong.
dont enable others to stumble.
temperance regarding all things.
learn the difference between faith and trust; lean on faith, not trust.
trust God, not man, not yourself.
what is of the flesh is not of the Spirit.
distinguish right from wrong, the law, and live accordingly.
if you so choose to stumble, make sure you are surrounded by the ones who care to help you up.
pray without ceasing.
watch pollyanna.
