| Is anybody even out there? Haha.
I was just thinking about how much I missed Xanga, so I decided to visit my old friend. It appears that most people have abandoned this and moved to Facebook, which is fine as I spend hours on that, but I decided Xanga needs revival. I miss writing. I miss hearing from YOU!
So, my questions are as follows:
Who's still here?
What's going on in your life?
Let's be friends again : )

| This is one of the best songs I've heard in a while. My favorite
line... "He knows where you are and where you've been, and you never
have to go there again." Praise Jesus.
Never let 'em see you when you're breakin'
Never let 'em see you when you fall
That's how we live
That's how we try
Tell the world you've got it all together
Never let 'em see what's underneath
We cover it up with a crooked smile
But it only lasts for a little while
There's no such thing as perfect people
There's no such thing as a perfect life
So come as you are
Broken and scarred
Lift up your heart
And be amazed and be changed by a perfect God
Suddenly it's like a weight is lifted
When you hear the words that you are loved
He knows where you are
And where you've been
And you never have to go there again
There's no such thing as perfect people
There's no such thing as a perfect life
So come as you are
Broken and scarred
Lift up your heart
And be amazed and be changed by a perfect God
Who lived and died to give you life
To heal our imperfections
So look up and see love
And let grace be enough | | |
| I dream...
...of finding my 'lobster'. (If you understand that, you're fabulous!)
...of being a loving wife & mother. (If you know the 'loving husband' part of this, introduce us!)
...of landing my dream job. (If you know what that's supposed to be, let me know!)
...of having financial security. (If you know how to achieve this, fill me in!)
...of being pursued.
...of impacting students' lives.
...of making a difference.
...of walking in my calling.
...of being truly happy.
Just needed to remind myself of some of my dreams today. I think too
often we get stuck in the routine of our day-to-day lives or we get
discouraged and we forget to dream or we give up on our dreams. Dream
big, my friends. Even if you've been hurt, distracted, or
discouraged... dream it anyway!
You can spend your whole life building something from nothing
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway
You can chase a dream that seems so out of reach
And you might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway
God is great but sometimes life ain't good
And when I pray, it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway
This world's gone crazy and it's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway
You can love someone with all your heart for all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway
You can pour your soul out singing a song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway, sing it anyway
I sing
I dream
I love
Anyway | | |

Go watch this video. It is a 2 minute 37 second video expressing the
perspective of the woman at the well (John 4:1-42) Take a few moments
to watch and then come back and examine my challenge - accepting is up
to you.
How many people do we know in the same position this Samaritan woman
was in? How many people want to be known? How many people want to be
loved? How many people have given up on someone knowing them..all their
hopes, loves, fears? How many have stopped hoping, wishing, and
praying? How many have isolated themselves into a private jail because
of all the pain and disappointment?
How many of us are guilty of walking by and condemning people like the
woman at the well? How many of us whisper and cast judgmental glances?
How many people do we encounter on a regular basis without
acknowledging them, without knowing them, without even seeing them? How
many hopes and dreams are we shattering by staying in our comfort
zones? How many private jails are we keeping locked down by simply
failing to love?
"To be known is to be loved and to be loved is to be known and
otherwise, what's the point in doing either one of them in the first
place?"
My heart aches at the realization that we are not living up to our
calling. We are called to love the way Jesus loves, to be His hands and
feet on this Earth, to reach out and touch the untouchable, to love the
unlovable. We are to encourage those who have lost the will to hope and
to dream. We are to know people - to truly know them. I fear that we
have moved past loving people and moved into superficial relationships,
if I can even call them relationships. We cannot be more concerned with
how many people we recognize, than how well we know them. We cannot
replace love with indifference. We cannot believe that exchanging a
quick 'hello' in the classroom, office, or church is enough to make
someone feel loved. How can we love someone if we don't know them? And
how can we reach out and know them if we don't truly, consistently love?
My challenge to you is simple: Love people & know people. | | |
| This song speaks wonders to my heart right now. It's like a page out of
my diary... and such an encouragement to me. I hope it encourages
you... I think sometimes we all need that reminder that says, 'You are
enough. You are who God created you to be and He delights in you, in
the real you. You are wonderful and beautiful. Lose the mask and the
veil, loosen your grasp, and walk confidently in who you are.'
Foolish heart, looks like we're here again
Same old game of plastic smile, don't let anybody in
Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break?
How much will it take before I'm empty?
Do I let it show? Does anybody knows?
But You see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me, completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
'Cause You see the real me
Painted on, life is behind a mask
Self-inflicted circus clown
I'm tired of this song and dance
Living a charade, always on parade
What a mess I've made of my existence
But You love me even now
And still I see somehow
That You see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me, completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
'Cause You see the real me
Wonderful, beautiful is what You see when You look at me
You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into a perfect tapestry
Oh, I just wanna be me, I wanna be me
And You love me just as I am
Wonderful, beautiful is what You see
When You look at me | | |
