The way I see it #245
A person's pursuit of goodness leads to greatness,
but the pursuit of greatness leads to ruin.
Pursue goodness and you will achieve great things.

How unfair is it....
that he cuts out fast food for two months and loses the same amount that it takes me to lose over 8 months with severe diet change & exercise?
so unfair.

so here we are, on the verge of all things great.
"Our brightest blazes are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks."- Samuel Johnson
"Following the path of least resistance is what makes men and rivers crooked."- Someone
Each day I think about "us" a little differently. From saying things like "my parent's house" to looking at coupons to save for going shopping, it's beginning to feel more real. I know I will become a little more nervous as "the day" approaches, but for now all I have is anticipation and dreamy ideals of this that for which we have been waiting.
So amazing that we'll be on the same team: you + me versus the world.
That our Creator will begin to speak simultaneously (or at times seperately) to us about our lives and direction. We will become a force, a motion and rising tide more powerful than anything we mustered up alone. Balance and check in everything spirtual and eternal.
I anticipate that every ugly thing I've kept hidden will rise to the surface. You and I will come face to face with the broken hideous creature I am at my core. But then also, beauty greater than anything I have tried to create or define, will emerge, untainted.
I am preparing myself as much as possible for this life long journey. Can we hold hands while we walk it?

this was me two years ago, almost to the day.
I feel so confused
About when I will see you again
I feel the miss deep within
But will things again turn sour
As I wait for the darkening hour
Or will you ask me to be yours
And will we live and live strong
These questions tick slowly by
And the summer lengthens it’s sigh
I wait for you
Return home
And tell me what is to become
Of our love.

my heart is pacing and I can't make it stop.
it's so weird, it was like this weekend was a dream. no stress, so calm, so full of good, and rest. Up until 5 minutes ago, when I realized there was this one thing I have yet to do. All of the
sudden mom's question seem too urgent, the television too loud, the mess that's been in my room for literally months too overwhelming.
I guess it's called snapping. on the verge of it, but trying not to.
really it's so aggravating because like I said this weekend was so perfect.
and then there's you. you always had this lying beneath the surface. but now something happened in the last 3 weeks and it seems like it's engulfed you. i don't know if i should have done more - if i can do more. i suppose the best thing to do is pray first. pray first
lauren, pray first.
tomorrow we find out if that is the apt God wants us to have.
i'm totally trusting Him on this one because that's all I can do.
myspace brings out the evil.
who knew that becoming your wife would be so beautiful and
difficult? I suppose most truly beautiful things are difficult.
beautiful one i love
beautiful one i adore
beautiful one my soul must sing
tomorrow is full of things, and so is tonight. goodnight.

Isaiah 61
The Spirit of God, the Master, is on me because God anointed me.
He sent me to preach good news to the poor, heal the heartbroken,
Announce freedom to all captives, pardon all prisoners.
God sent me to announce the year of his grace
- a celebration of God's destruction of our enemies
- and to comfort all who mourn,
To care for the needs of all who mourn in Zion,
give them bouquets of roses instead of ashes,
Messages of joy instead of news of doom,
a praising heart instead of a languid spirit.
Rename them "Oaks of Righteousness" planted by God to display his glory.
