The Simplest Things Are Often The Truest

I Need A Bandaid

Large Enough For My Heart
We reside in a cruel, cruel world
My heart aches for this world and its inhabitants
I carry the weight of this world on my back...or in my heart rather
NOT by choice...
It hurts my heart like you wouldn't believe

LIVID

I am like extremely upset right now. For a multitude of reasons. And I just needed to vent for a second. I'm not gonna go into detail because it's 11:39 P.M. and I have to wake up in about 6 hours and I have a BIG test tomorrow but I just needed to get it off of my chest.

I mostly am SO SO SO mad because I'm here <--- (Click Me)...when I should be HERE <--- (Click Me Too!) I JUST WANNA GO HOME!!!!

*Deep deep sigh* You know what I really need, I need a hug. I haven't had a hug since my family left (June 27th) and the other day I realized that I NEED a HUG. Even if it's for .5 seconds, I just need someone to affectionately wrap their arms tightly around me...even if in their minds they're squeezing me to death. *Wraps arms around self.......doesn't work* LOL




Annnnnyyyywayyyy.....Please pray for me and my test tomorrow around 12:30 P.M.-ish...that's about the time I'll be taking my test. Please and thank you.

Goodnight and God Bless
P.S.--If You See Me In Your Dreams,
Give Me A Hug Please =)

It's Not So Funny Is It?

My sister referred to me this absolutely wonderfully written and composed
song by Regina Spektor and needless to say,
it made me love her even more.
These lyrics are the truth.

No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one's laughing at God when they're starving or freezing or so very poor

No one laughs at God when the doctor calls after some routine tests
No one's laughing at God when it's gotten real late and their kid's not back from that party yet

No one laughs at God when their airplane starts to uncontrollably shake
No one's laughing at God when they see the one they love hand in hand with someone else and they hope that they're mistaken
No one laughs at God when the cops knock on their door and they say, "We've got some bad news, sir"
No one's laughing at God when there's a famine, fire or flood

But God can be funny
At a cocktail party while listening to a good God-themed joke or
Or when the crazies say he hates us and they get so red in the head you think that they're about to choke

God can be funny
When told he'll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie
Who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus

God can be so hilarious
Ha ha
Ha ha

No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one's laughing at God when they've lost all they got and they don't know what for

No one laughs at God on the day they realize that the last sight they'll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
No one's laughing at God when they're saying their goodbyes

But God can be funny
At a cocktail party while listening to a good God-themed joke or
Or when the crazies say he hates us and they get so red in the head you think that they're about to choke

God can be funny
When told he'll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie
Who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus

God can be so hilarious

No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war

No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war

No one's laughing at God in a hospital
No one's laughing at God in a war

No one's laughing at God when they're starving or freezing or so very poor

No one's laughing at God
No one's laughing at God
No one's laughing at God
We're all laughing with God

A Day Without Laughter...


Is A Day
WASTED.
~Charlie Chaplin

Don't waste an entire 24 hours...
You will regret it.


See?! ^^ ^Even babies know the real deal!!

It Starts In My Toes Then I Crinkle My Nose



It's Those Small Things,
That Make Your Insides Smile and Light Up
Before the Smile Actually Hits Your Lips...
That REALLY Matter.

The Smile Develops From Somewhere Deep Inside
And You Can Feel It Making Its Way Up From Your Knees To Your Stomach
Up To Both Corners Of Your Mouth and Then...
They Turn Up Ever So Slightly.

Your Eyes Light Up and Next Thing You Know,
Your Whole Face, Your Entire Body, Is On Cloud 9.

And Then, Everything's Alright In The World...
In Your World At Least.
That's ALL That Matters.

I Define Me


"If I Didn't Define Myself For Myself,
I Would Be Crushed Into Other People's
Fantasie's For Me and Eaten Alive."


-Audre Lorde

Heaven Has No Rage...


Like Love to Hatred Turned
Nor
Hell A Fury Like A Woman Scorned


Our Deepest Fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other

people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

—Marianne Williamson

Step By Step

After Winter Comes the Summer.
After Night Comes the Dawn.
And After Every Storm, There Comes Clear, Open Skies.
~Samuel Rutherford

I received this during my devotion today and felt compelled to share it.
My prayer is that is blesses someone else as much as it blessed me.

Alone Time

I thoroughly enjoy alone time.
I like spending time with me.
It helps me to get to know me better.
I can do what I want, when I want.
Don't have to answer to anyone.
It's a great time, really.

As the picture indicates, being alone does NOT translate into being lonely.
Oh NO! These are 2 totally different things.
Being lonely is more of an emotional state.
It's all in the psyche if you ask me.
Being alone, now that's a whole 'nother ball game.
It's relaxing, enjoyable, not disruptive, awesome!

Spend some time with yourself.
You may learn something new!
*Smiles*
