They cannot see what disgusting is
They refuse to see it
They cloak blindness with self righteousness and imaginary mercy
I know their mercy is imaginary
there's never any for me
"There is a right time and a right way for everything,
yet people often have many troubles.
They do not know what the future holds,
and no one can tell them what will happen.
No one can control the wind
or stop his own death.
No soldier is released in times of war,
and evil does not set free those who do evil."
King Solomon
"If you judge people
too quickly
you don't have time
to love them."

i was afraid to fall in love because...
i did not want to be:
a plaything
someones something to get by
someones something to enjoy only when that someone was sad
a security blanket
a subsitute mommy
a soft place to land only when someone's times were less than easy
a second thought
the last stop
When I fall in love I want to be:
someone who is loved just because
someone who is desired just because
someone who is treasured just because
someone who is cared about just because
someone who is one with someone else just because:
of love!
Some people hate so deep.....
and are so far from goodness
that I am scared to think
what they would
do to me
Selfishness is the divider it makes wide gulfs between people because it takes for itself everything from the selfish and the generous leaving nothing in return. Generosity is the uniter brings together people because
it gives of itself
all
to the selfish and the generous
giving
everything
it has.
Question everything that is not right
for in the challenging of thoughts
you will
change the minds of some people
for good
"There comes a point in your life when you realize:
who matters,
who never did,
who won't anymore. ..
and who always will.
So, don't worry about people from your past,
there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.
Give this heart to everyone you don't want to lose in 2008."
And remember You are precious!
After I am gone I want people to say that I loved with all my heart. I want people to remember that I did everything with love. I want to be just like Jesus. Jesus did everything with love! The problem is wanting to be and actually being are two different things. There are a couple people right now that I just want to hate because of their extreme nonsense. I want to hate them but somehow I have to remember this vow I made to myself that I will love with all my heart. I will let things go that are ugly and distasteful. I will think of something else to do with my mind besides dredging up the ugliest scenarios I can possibly think of to justify my feelings. I will love because it is the right thing to do. Jesus help me!
This past week I've been trying to prove myself to someone who is not satisfied with who I am. So I have stopped trying to smooth things over. I am freeing myself and I am going to enjoy the wonders of life and good things. I will cherish good people who don't pass judgement or second guess me. Most of all I will spend more time with my best friend Jesus. Now that he is my best friend I have some unusual kind of courage. I can stand in the face of ugliness and be strong because I know that I am greatly loved.
