About Me

I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
***An excerpt about love, taken from the book "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran*** Then said Almitra, "Speak to us of Love."And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them. And with a great voice he said:When love beckons to you follow him,Though his ways are hard and steep.And when his wings enfold you yield to him,Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.And when he speaks to you believe in him,Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.He threshes you to make you naked.He sifts you to free you from your husks.He grinds you to whiteness.He kneads you until you are pliant;And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;For love is sufficient unto love.When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, I am in the heart of God."And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.To know the pain of too much tenderness.To be wounded by your own understanding of love;And to bleed willingly and joyfully.To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;To return home at eventide with gratitude;And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips. ........."Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances and it endures everything [without weakening]. Love never fails--never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end." (1 Corinthians 13:7-8, Amp) Love never fails. Nothing works without it, and there can be no failure with it. When you live by love, you cannot fail.
....We make our lives out of chaos, hope and love...
Christian: When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not shouting "I'm clean living." I'm whispering "I was lost, " Now I'm found and forgiven. When I say..."I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need CHRIST to be my guide. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need HIS strength to carry on. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it. When I say... "I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain, I have my share of heartaches So I call upon His name. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace, somehow. - Maya Angelou ....
Intentions are Powerful: Get Them Out ThereIntend to create a beautiful Life.Intend to build this mystery one breath at a time.Intend to live in abundance, love, Joy, peace (inner and outer), happiness, and bliss.Intend to choose your words carefully.Intend to live from your Heart.Intend to be Grateful.Intend to do what Love would do.

A Strong woman vs woman of strength ......................... A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape... but a women of strength builds relationships to keep her soul in shape.A strong woman isn't afraid of anything.. but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of fear.A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her... but a woman of strength gives the best of herself to everyone.A strong woman wears a look of confidence on her face... but a woman of strength wears grace.A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey... but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong.Author Unknown
He has been calling to me, His voice reverberating in my mind as a whisper is carried on the wind...and all this while I had been questioning how I would know if He wer e calling to me, questioning why He would ask me into His presence, beckon me to come and sit and dine at His table.. and then suddenly it became clear to me -- I had RSVPd to Him a long time ago, I was just running a little late..
I am a Christian... I rededicated my life on November 25, 2006... so go ahead and ask me about it some time...... but that is only one facet of my life... I am a woman and a mom and a sister and a friend and a cousin and a neice and the girl you know from work and the neighbor you have down the hall... I like stargzaer lillies and warm summer rain (especially the sound and the smell) .. One moment I am listening to Jimmy Buffett and the next Josh Groban and after that Sting... I bought tickets to see The Police on July 29, 2007 at Fenway Park and I cant wait to take my son with me to see them!!... I have learned how wonderful it is to lie on the grass and to watch the clouds go by... every moment we are afforded is a gift from above, so dont let too many of them slip away from you - we all have responsibilities, but most of all we must take care of ourselves.... I enjoy the way the sun feels on my skin while I lie on the beach (of course I use sunscreen)... I like to be lulled into relaxation by the sound of ocean.. I like Friday night worship at Living Word Ministries and coffee afterwards with friends.. I watch Yankee games on YES or listen to them on the radio if I am out and about... I love my son more than life and am proud to say that he will be graduating from high school this June, he keeps me grounded and motivated... I cherish my friends and my family immensely...

I'd like to meet:

All of you!!!!...the friends of the friends of the friends on my friends list - so don't be surprised if I send you a message!! Yankee fans!! We got Andy Pettitte back!! I want to meet the kind of people I can talk to over a cup (or five) of coffee ... the kind of people that I can lie on the beach with while basking in the sun, listening to the Yankees game . . if I could only find a way I would whisk myself cross-country to hang out with my favorite pirate (X_Apokalypse from Colorado)(damn them for not creating the stargate yet!) then stop off for a spell at the Holy Grounds Coffee Lounge to hear a bit of live music and talk about the Lord.... I would love to meet Andy Pettitte, Mary Magdelene (cuz I want to know what really happened - I think she got a bad rap), Dan Brown, James Redfield, The late Pope John Paul, my all-time favorite Yankee Dave Winfield, Michael Shanks (aka Dr Daniel Jackson of SG1), Hugh Laurie and Sting! Of course I would like to meet someone strong and true and special... If you look thru my profile and we have something in common, feel free to say hi!


Music:

Sting!! The Police!!(On tour this summer - I will be seeing them July 29th @ Fenway!!) My musical taste is varied .... Andrea Boccelli, Ray Lamontagne, Nick Drake, Jimmy Buffett, Jamie Cullum, Chris Botti, Paul Baloche, Third Day, Josh Groban, Yanni and Jason Upton .. I still love 80s music (Duran Duran - saw them in concert finally - awesome show), The Grateful Dead, Arlo Guthrie (thanks my Jeffrey!) and some classic rock... Love listening to the soundtracks of the rock opera "Jesus Christ Superstar" and to the movies "Sahara", "Chronicles of Narnia", "Pump up the Volume", "Star Wars" and "Lord of the Rings" ... And then I will confuse you and tell you how much I like "Chant" by the Benedictine Monks (soothing to the soul) or native American music (how very earthy and spiritual it is) or on occasion will pop in my "Celestine Prophecy" cd - (yes it is based on the book - did you read it? thank you Tim for sending it to me all those years ago!) on XM Radio - channel 32, "The Message" is AWESOME!!

You came looking for us, you listened and you let me cry and ask the questions I needed to ask.
