You know,
I really don’t feel like I update this thing enough for it to be a legitimate blog. I was browsing my post history and I realized the majority of what I write here are non-specific emotional ramblings that usually come and go without explanation.
I’m not sure why I have this thing anyway! Somehow life’s events keep me too busy to be dedicated to the virtual world.
I can’t...

This Marriage | Mawlawi Rumi
May these vows and this marriage be blessed. May it be sweet milk, this marriage, like wine and halvah. May this marriage offer fruit and shade like the date palm. May this marriage be full of laughter, our every day a day in paradise. May this marriage be a sign of compassion, a seal of happiness here and hereafter. May this marriage have a fair face and a good name, an omen as welcome as the...

Hi, Christian. I was perusing your posts and I really felt the desire to reblog this question you answered. There wasn’t a button for it or anything, but your words struck me in a way that I just had to save them to look back on. I’m floored by the sincerity and eloquence of your answer and it brings me back to all the times I wish I would have been able to word my own responses the...
I will never be enough for them.
I’m really not anything to the world…
But at least, I am enough for You. I am enough.
Facebook conversation of the day.
Gare's facebook status: Providential. Thank you.
Jason Bates: You, are welcome.
Gare: JASON BATES STOP COMMENTING ON THINGS I POST OR ELSE I SWEAR THINGS WILL NOT HAPPEN TO YOU IN A MANNER IN WHICH YOU WOULD WANT THINGS TO HAPPEN TO YOU AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE.
Jason Bates: Don't tell me what to do!
Anger is not synonymous with hatred. Anger is an...
here is my heart

Last night, I had a complete emotional breakdown as I listened to God’s heart for me, for us, His people. We are so concerned about image, about “pleasing Him” and making sure we look good for Him. And there are those who will be so concerned about doing things for God that they will not even know Him by the end of their lives. And it is those people who say “Lord, Lord, we...
Picture God's face.
What do you imagine His face to look like when He looks at you? What emotion does He carry toward you? Is it eternally constant? Does it change?
I feel as though our answer to these questions can tell us individually a whole lot about our relationship with God. Ask me those questions during most of my Walk and I would have told you this:
“God’s face must be disappointed toward me. I...
I probably should have seen this coming.
Alright, God, here you go! I sent the letter… I have officially belittled myself to a worm-state.
You can have the rest, I’ve done all I can do. And somehow, this feels all too liberating :)
On an unrelated note.
I am also so, so, so ready to be married to my sweet bear.
8 months!
I'm not ready for sleep.
Yet, at the same time…
I am so, so, so ready to go to sleep.
God,
I missed You :)

A idea I continue to grapple with. What does it mean to “love” that person? What actions does that entail? Does loving the person who hurt you also mean inviting her to your wedding? I care about her but I don’t feel as though it’s reciprocal.
We’ve had a long, painful past. Maybe I just have to accept that our friendship is over and move on. I don’t know if...

Mine and Catie's Open Mic Night Performance! →
Darn facebook doesn’t let you embed videos… so hopefully this link works! Someone let me know if it doesn’t and I’ll take this post down (depressing).
Anyway, Catie and I performed our first open mic! So many people signed up that we were only allowed to play one song, and we chose Animal by Miike Snow.
Gah! It was incredibly nervewracking! But fun :) We hope to do the...
willow-draconis asked: it's very basic- you just crochet or knit a strip long enough to fit around your head (and whatever width you'd like) twist it 360 degrees so that the sides match up (both public sides facing one way, private sides facing the other, if that makes sense), then sew the ends together! <3
Open mic night!
Performing tonight with one of my lovely best friends and bridesmaid and I can’t wait!

In Your Love My Salvation Lies
hisheart:
I have resented love since the moment I was conceived unwillingly. I have never understood unconditional unspeakable love for every human on this Earth that has been created. It is far too vast for our minds to comprehend on its own and it is a truth so large that it can only be revealed. When we do not believe we are loved we will make sure we are not because we are afraid to be. I...
