HIYAH!

hey guys. Sorry i haven't posted much lately. I've somewhat relocated to something a little different. I've been spending a lot of time physically journaling. No offense to any of you fine people, it's just that life has been so refreshingly different lately that i feel as if i would be too censored if i were to blog publically :)

Oh and also, a recent addiction of mine is TUMBLR. I got a tumblr blog a long time ago. But i've recently been spending a lot of time on it, reposting people's quotes and pictures! :D chech me out! http://onthewater2.tumblr.com/

Love you guys! PEACE!

Eat Pray Love

I just had one of the best Sunday afternoons ever. I got to spend the whole day with my mom and sister. We went to go see Eat Pray Love. The movie was incredible. I love to travel and see the different cultures of the world. After the movie we went to World Market, my new obsession. This place is incredible. They have all of this amazing stuff from around the world that are imported in bulk so they aren't so expensive. I could go soooo bankrupt in that store! In fact, i almost did! Haha!

Everyday i find myself more and more eager to see the world and experience it's range of personalities. I want to speak another language. I want to marvel at the taste of foreign cuisine. I want to look into the eyes of desolation. I want to stand where those who truly marveled at the stars stood. I want to be influenced. I want to really feel the history of a foreign land. I want to rejoice over someone else's delight. I want to get out of here.

Please go see this movie. Ignore some of the weird romantic details, though. It gets somewhat annoying.

Just ordered "The Collection" Limited Edition by Alanis Morissette! :D

"Everything"

Lyrics to "Everything" by Alanis Morissette

I can be a nightmare of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it’s going out of style
I can be the moodiest baby and you’ve never met anyone
who is as negative as I am sometimes

I am the wisest woman you've ever met.
I am the kindest soul with whom you've connected.
I have the bravest heart that you've ever seen
And you've never met anyone
Who's as positive as I am sometimes.

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here

I blame everyone else, not my own partaking
My passive-aggressiveness can be devastating
I'm terrified and mistrusting
And you’ve never met anyone as,
As closed down as I am sometimes.

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here

What I resist, persists, and speaks louder than I know
What I resist, you love, no matter how low or high I go

I'm the funniest woman you've ever known.
I am the dullest woman you've ever known.
I'm the most gorgeous woman you've ever known
And you've never met anyone as, as everything as I am sometimes.

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here

And you’re still here
And you're still here...

UREKA!

Lately, i've been asking myself, "What is one huge thing that my witness is missing?" I've heard that if you are the type of person that struggles with bluntly sharing the Word with strangers that your life can be the preliminary part of your witness. Well, there are certain "strangers" that i don't seem to have reached. It's so frustrating trying to find out the missing key. I just opened up one of my old journals. I read a certain passage that i had written about a year or so ago. There it was. BAM. "STOP COMPLAINING!"

The lost need to see my contentment in Christ. They need to see how eternally comforted my spirit is. They need to see how nothing can bring my heart to a place of bitterness or hatred. That isn't going to happen if i'm constantly complaining about a parking ticket, a class schedule, or financial issues. And it isn't going to happen if i'm constantly worrying about everything. They need to see what true faith is, not just the facebook statuses about Jesus.

I love epiphanies! Thought i'd share. Goodnight!

I do believe that i am a "wunderkind". I do consider myself to be a "magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment". I do find myself daydreaming of places that are "spell-bound and un-childproofed". And i am indeed "destined to reign" and "destined to rule".
