| So this past weekend, I had the most awe-inspiring experience of my life. This experience is called The Happening. For those who do not believe, I hope you do not find this post offensive. This is just my personal beliefs, that I firmly stand on, but I do not intend to push them on anyone else. God is incredible. I have been lost in my faith for a while now, but this past weekend he changed all of that. He reminded me that he will NEVER leave me, nor forsake me. One thing that really got me was our spiritual leader said, "If you believe in Hell, and how terrible it is, how much can you HATE a person, to not tell them about God's love to save them from it." That really got to me. I never firmly believe in Hell until this weekend, but now I do. Mainly because I believe in Heaven. And I know that I want to be there, and I want others to be there. My faith has been renewed. Anyways- here's some pictures. If you have any questions just ask :)
Me and my "sister" Olivia :) *Note: this is after an entire weekend of no showers and no makeup.
"When you walk, through the waters, I will be with you. And the waves they shall not, overcome you. Do not fear. For I have redeemed you. I have called you by name, you are mine."
"You are Lord of Lords, you are King of Kings, you are mighty God, Lord of everything. You're Emanuel, you're the great I am. You're my prince of peace, who is the lamb. You're my living God, you're my saving grace, you will reign forever, you are ancient of days. You are alpha, omega, beginning and end. You're my savior, Messiah, redeemer, and friend. You're my prince of peace, and I will live my life for you." <3
"Give me your eyes for just one second."
"I wonder what life would be like, if we let Jesus live through you and me." | | |
| This is becoming a milestone month for me. And so is this year. January was January. Filled with the grimness and fear of a new year. But now it's February, a month for love and change. I was able to fit into a size 6 dress last week after being a 12 for six months. I know the road ahead is still going to be hard, but it felt so good in that dress. February 18th,2011- Drew and I's one year. Life is great right now. What's going on in yours?
"I'm a hopeless romantic. I believe in wishing on stars, soulmates, and love that never ends. But yet, sometimes I feel like the only single person alive. I feel so, alone. No matter what I try to do, I'm left in solitude. Maybe I try too hard. Maybe I really am just hopeless."
"Can I lay in your bed all day? I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake. The hand behind the pen relives a failure every day. So wear me like a locket around your throat. I'll weigh you down, I'll watch you choke. You look so good in blue."
*taken by my Australian friend Eli. Please don't steal without credit.
"So don't forget, don't forget to smile when you see the sun come out, cause your laughter and your love are all that I've been thinking about. Just the thought of you sustains me, and that smile of yours can make the whole world new. I love the way that I feel when I am with you."
"We promised that this will last forever, but now I see- it was my past life, a beautiful time, drunk off nothing but each other 'til the sunrise."
*credit to Eli again- he is traveling the world.
"Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought to do, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live with unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation, because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation. All of which appears to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future."- Jon Krakauer
"You have to leave me now, you gotta go along. You gotta chase a dream, one that's all your own. Before it slips away. When you're flying high, take my heart along. I'll be the harmony, to every lonely song But you'll learn to play" "When You Come Back Down"-Nickel Creek
"Do you remember? The chill of the air in November. The autumn breeze wrapped us in blankets and we held our breath and closed our eyes. Do you recall that? We all thought it would all last forever, the days of our youth. And the weather, and the love that we wore on our chest. But all good things must end. Do you remember? Watching the sunset together. The rays of the sun lit up every last one of the memories we held in our fists. Do you recall that? We always swore that we would never foget all those days in the weather that lead us to display our love on our chests. But all good things must end. And we both knew that we were just making the poorest excuses like we all do, just to feel like we all have something to hold onto."
"I've got dreams and aspirations, and I'm pretty good at conversations. I've got a heart. I want to give but I need someone to share it with."
"There's too much doubt, and not enough dare, there's too much decision everywhere. There's too much talk and not enought ime, let's close our eyes, and not our minds."
"You never think the last time is the last time. You always think there will be more. You think you have forever. But you don't."
