It's not knowing what His plan is for your life, but rather, to know Him.

About Me

I'm easily amused-easily pleased. Music is like presents under the tree! Make me laugh, please; i love it! I enjoy cooking!-i'll cook, come eat with me ! I have overactive tear ducts-you'll see tears whether it be laughing or crying.I'm cheesy, and it won't take long for you to figure that out. I want to live better and love more fully. Jesus is who I want to live for, and i'm in the midst of the process.What's your story? =)

" I may repeat 'Do as you would be done by' till I am black in the face, but I cannot really carry it out till I love my neighbour as myself: and I cannot learn to love my neighbour as myself till I learn to love God: and I cannot learn to love God except by learning to obey Him.'"
-C.S. Lewis.
That about sums it up. It's a learning process, and i'm still trying to learn.
Truly to sing, that is a different breath. -Rainer Maria Rilke

"Were we to hold our peace the stones would cry out; yet if we speak, what shall we say? Teach us to know that we cannot know, for the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Let faith support us where reason fails, and we shall think because we believe, not in order that we may believe." -A.W.T

I'd like to meet:

And endless supply of chips and salsa that won't clog my arteries!

"People that understand that the word "blessed" means to be fully satisfied in Christ. However, this satisfaction isn't due to the circumstances of a person's life. Rather, it's the condition created in a person's heart because of Christ's indwelling presence, which exists regardless of the circumstances of the person's life. "

Rant. Exhale.
