the love i have for you doesn't have a limit.

you constantly bring sunshine into my life.

you always have something positive to say.

the strength you show shines, oh so bright.

i'm so happy for you.

TWO WEEKS! ;)

love you maureen

ungrounded

fish eye lens

the truth is; tomorrow is the busiest day of the week

Who are you to put my stengths in a jail sell, as if I won't accomplish anything everything.

Do you know what I want to be?

When was the last time you were actually excited about something i wanted to share.

Do you know where my heart is and the places i want to see?

Why is it that all i want is your love, and that is just too much to be.

meditation

final project for photography

the way i see winter.

the week i lived with you and bleached your jeans: it was by far the best time of my life

we ask questions, hoping to find the answers

april smells like roses.

orange in the air.

you tend to be similar, but no one could come close to the dept of your thoughts.

send us on [our] way.

happy birthday Jesus :D

with the family comes the love.

snap.snap.

it's chaotic and overwhelming around the christmas tree.

children throw their hands in the air with excitment over their new gifts.

more loved ones walk through the doors.

hugs exchanged meaning more than the presents under the tree.

snap. snap.

it's beautiful and wonderful to know and love Jesus.

His sacrifice and His grace shed upon the giving season.

more to love than any other time of the year.
He is so good.

snap.snap.

as i snapped my photographs of christmas i wished i could capture the feeling inside. the feeling of God. the beautiful, and best gift of all; having Jesus born on this day. oh the love flowed deep. & even though i couldn't pull the picture up on the screen to show everyone the picture of my favorite gift, i just smiled and continued clicking thanking the Lord for His love, and how much He fills me up.

with open arms

my feet are on the ground, but last night i felt my spirit fly.

the apprehensive aroma disappeared.

thank God.

~~

ENTHUSIASM!

enthusiasm: God within.


lately, that's what i've had.
God within.
i feel Him, i hear Him, i see Him.
He's everywhere.

call it the holiday season, call it whatever you'd like.
it's God.

God is sooo powerful and sooo GOOD!
amen

here it is.

brightness.

i found out before they could surprise me...

Where in the World Assignment

Photography pop art project :D

i dont like that i had a nonstop day, but still feel as if i've accomplished nothing.
my heart is weak.
i need reassurence, sweet Jesus.

how i feel today.

i love.
its beautiful, powerful and worth all my words.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I want to have a lasting experience of God, " I told him. "Sometimes i feel like i understand the divinity of this world, but then i lose it because i get distracted by my petty desires and fears. I want to be with God all the time. But i don't want to be a monk, or totally give up wordily pleasures. I guess what i want is to learn how to live in this world and enjoy its delights, but also devote myself to God."
Ketut said he could answer my question with a picture. He showed me a sketch he'd drawn once during meditation. It was an androgynous human figure, standing up, hands clasped in prayer. But this figure had four legs, and no head. Where the head should have been, there was only a wild foliage of ferns and flowers. There was a small, smiling face drawn over the heart.
" To find the balance you want," Ketut spoke through his translator, "this is what you must become. You must keep your feet grounded so firmly on the earth that it's like you have four legs, instead of two. That way, you can stay in the world. But you must stop looking at the world through your head. You must look through your heart instead. That way, you will know God."

------------------ "Eat. Love. Pray" - by Elizabeth Gilbert-----------------------

available light project

so, i have this intense feeling that last only a few seconds.
when i think something random and it spontaneously makes me think several times throughout the day;
that same day or the next that same thought happens.
no matter what it is.
the quick feeling on impulse, it is real.
it's something strong, it happens on occasion.
it's deep and i feel intune with something magnifecent when it occurs.


it happened today.
i'm finally feeling like myself again.
aum...

alright, alright, alright

things are sent from above.

you and me were sent to fall in love.

things always have a way of working out.

you and me always having hope.

things happen to people on what they put out there.

you and me think what happens, happens.

things are put together,

to make you and me something better.

billie jo:beej:girlypurly

i'm here.

it's spectacular.

now, i wanna see the world.

16 years is come and gone

and now i'm ready to break free.

loud,different and beautiful.

one year

"jesus is amazing"

so, it's been a year since i've been baptised and honestly i can believe it.
i've fallen as hard as ever, and i've rose as high as ever in this one year of my life.
one year that taught me to grow strong in my faith and to simply live and let God.
i like the feeling of what i've accomplished and how many new eyes i've helped see the Lord.
i hope the angels are still rejoicing because i hope to continue my path with the Lord as I live on.
this next year is going to be even more beautiful.
with the love from above and the mindset of a dreamer i hope to apply myself with my all and give all the glory to Him.

God bless.

hello fall.

pops

as the radio race is tied with her tembling thoughts
her hands jump to the air like gasping for her last breath.
with the sparkling shock to see her smile and hear her laugh.
-the beauty of her portrait is captured.

when something pops into my head, no matter where i am....
the bus. in math class. grocery shopping. looking at the window. a deep sleep...
i'll wake up and write it down.
i liked this one, a lot.


♥

you tell me not to want, i tell you please don't be mistaken.

i want to escape.
i want to find myself by being lost somewhere.
i want to love with my all my power.
i want to travel.
i want to help.
i want to listen to stories.
i want to always, always find a way to meet new people.
i want to never, never stop making true friends.
i want to climb the tallest mountain.
i want to slip and slide down the longest hill.
i want to dance like i have all the energy of the youth.
i want to live.

i want you to live this with me.
im making the effort to make my want, an accomplishment.
you can't just want and do nothing.
yes, you have to make them happen yourself.
there is no way in hell that they can happen with you sitting on your ass.
so, stand up, take my hand.
figure out what you want.
BE POSITIVE.
make the wants accomplishments.
start finding things to smile about, THERE IS TOO MUCH FOR YOU TO SEE.

i do love you.
<3

there is a reason we're best friends.

just like the writing on your window
tonights gonna leave a mark.
just like the want we had
i hope that the communication starts.
just like the thought that you are different
the excitment jumps off your tounge.
just like the people person and the awkward first kiss
it all goes together when we have nights like this.

the old man i tried to set you up with

the man who runs from age to age occasionally going through a red light.
the man that loves .
the man who is a proud father.
the man that gives fair chances with always the other persons best intrest at heart.
the man who has endless exchange of life stories.
the man that would never,never think of judging.
the man who likes to have a beer or two.
the man that always says hello and greets his smiles with a hug
the man who is someone i am so glad i managed to meet.

smile by uncle kracker [the song that hits my heart hard]

you gotta be

one of the songs ill love till forever and a day.

inspiration

it pops up around every corner.
stop being so damn stubborn.
open your eyes, and welcome the world.
you'll be surprised on how much you've missed.

Halloween.

we see things differently.

when i look out the window, you ask me why.

when i tell you the answer, you feel the need to subside.

when i look towards the sun, you stay far away.

when i tell myself you'll get better a day from today.

party girls.

the day after.

drivers ed.

"that's the way the world is- more good people than bad." - drivers ed. teacher.

sitting in a classroom full of new experience this phrase came up.

at the moment i thought nothing of it, other than i knew i was going to write about it later.

as i was exposed to something so mundane as driving, how could it possible be that i learned anything other than the boring need to know knowledge of how to be a good driver.

however, i was wrong and i feel like this class is going to teach me more than i intended.

to you, alyana.

remember,
if you decide to run again, you'll always have someone to run back to.


i love you,
you are beautiful.
& i forgive you for it all.

today

today i realized not expecting anything handed me the world.


frustration ended with a prayer.
effort is always rewarded.
using words never fails.
running down the halway to catch a teared up soul.
reminsing of things that make us now laugh.
kitchen tables are the best.
holy names.
the name of the game is snaps, snaps is the name of the game.

New Hamshire

The last two weekends i've been in New Hampshire.
Discovering deep, and exploring entirely.

The Lord has been soooo good to me with sharing His beautiful creations.

just breathe

Learning is growing.
After awhile you learn the suddel differences between holding a hand, and chaining a soul.
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning, and company doesn't mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses are not contracts, and presents are not promises.
And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans.
After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much, so plant your own garden, and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure, you really are strong, and you really do have worth.

i've decided

to expect nothing, and to live frugally on surprise.

headed into the school year that's what i am hoping for.
i want to be surprised.
i am going to do what i am suppose to.
not worry.
stop trying to figure it all out.
just live.
take advantage of the time i have before i start driving.
study hard.
enjoy the sunshine.
be one with the earth :D
love.
try.
do it because i want to.

so tell me that you love me, for the first time it makes me feel alive.

i hope full heartdely for your future plans.
the imagination away impossibly around the corner.
i linger to love tasting sweet like summer air.
the definite desire to reach the side of the country.
i believe truly beneathe all that nonsense.
the possible forshadowing pondering near.
i know you'll know yet again.
the beautiful beach calls with more color to capture.

for this long.

i wanna write my name in the sky

& nothing is stopping me.
believe it.

torrent glenn

beautiful" doesn't only describe your body or your face, it's a description of you as a whole, of your maturity and growth given less than a year, your propensity to love, your compassionate concern even at the cost of your own comfort and your devotion to friends and loved ones

so, i'm in love with the boy who wrote this.
it won't change.
whoever says that distance is the deal breaker.
bullshit.

psalms 46:5
God is within her, she will not fall.
God will help her at the break of day.

Three Cups of Tear by Greg Mortenson

When your heart speaks, take good notes - Judith Campbell

The way i see the book
a man's mission that took on a vision of its own…
The stupendous story that helped me see change in the world around us.
A triumph that over blew a failure.
The theme throughout of compassion.
An overcoming outcome that helped cultural division.

The way I see the action
A man's mission that took on a vision of its own….
The promised privilege that a school would be built.
A character contributing to the step of outreach.
The encountered endurance to reach an internal goal.
A steady step introducing anyone can do it one cup of tea at a time.

The way I connected
A man's mission that took on a vision of its own….
The wonderful way one starts the change he wishes to see.
A sudden stop to see the beauty of a flower.
The discovered direction that was new and unfamiliar.
A vivid vision that poured peace.

The way I see the man
A man's mission that took on a vision of its own…
“The man is not one of us”
A ceased climb of introduction to a humanitarian.
The devoted dad that took death threats.
A persistent plead to see the family left behind.
The generous giver that opened his own doors.
A firm fighter believing that education will bring prosperity.


Balti proverb“The first time you share tea with a Balti, you are a stranger. The second time, you are an honored guest. The third time you become family.”

i'm glad you're not the same.
i am NOT sorry for NOT hating myself.
i need some work.
but, so do you.
children amaze me.
i wanna dance.

why do you do that?!
I WANT TO UNDERSTAND.
i wish you didn't live so far away.
i'm out of incense, shit!

you are beautiful

pink to pinky, nose to nose, friends forever, as we grow.

so, my lovely sister in Christ.... tomorrow you are going back to law school and i am praying that you will have a better day than expected. you are beautiful and you shine in my world just like a big sister should. I hope that with this year you'll find surprises and turns that are unexpected, because those unexpected turns are the ones that God holds true to with all His strength and wisdom. Trust Him in all you do and He will make this year worth it. I hope the best to you and will look forward to wednesday and sundays more than i ever have. hopefully on occasion we can take a walk together, even if it is through the phone. You are beautiful just the way you are. no matter how many little fights we get into or how close we come to slipping on the sister promise i will always be here to love you and grow with you.

love you, sweetcheeks.

the way we found each other through common character and bouncy bright sides.

the way of scattered patterns.

the we you laugh to press through the toppling tap of the dance of life.

the way of an admirable mother.

the way i have hope that one day you're the one that will understand the way i see the picture.

the way of love from above.

the way we are will always say sunshine.

-love you m.z, ha and one day m.k

tell me

you say one thing and do the other.

no what,
we all have at one point.

a little effort from us all would make that happen a little less.
i do understand, and i forgive you.

its you and me till the end.

we fight, joke, we laugh, we disagree.

in the end we're still sisters.

i love you.

understand that we are here to love.

not to judge
not to be better than anyone else
not to become easily angered
not to throw dirty looks
not to prove wrong
not to live everyday like its complete hell.

my heart becomes weak everytime i see people continually over step the action of love.

it's not that hard.
yes, we all slip.
however, you need to step up your game
and not slip as much.

love to you all.

"It's better to teach than to be taught, i guess". - J.Gray

As we talk and and you take me closer and closer each word.
Holding my hand and letting the experiences pour.
I want the possesion of the secrets.
I miss the drip castles.

As you tear up, the situation sounds firmiliar, at least the way the other end sounds.
Reminising of the little but powerful memories takes place, everytime.
Each time i possibly couldn't listen closer.
I love you.

No matter the mistakes, no matter how much you screw up.
The rememberence of your love hangs tight.
It's one of the non exsitant others.
I want it more than ever right now.
The way you ring right when i need to hear you, makes my day.
It scares me shitless, but i'm use to it by now.

Thanks for it always.

i normally walk up to people that i see like that,
but out of the ordinary, i didn't.

i realized because i didn't take the step to talk to her beforehand
she was just placed into my life.
it was wonderful and she unfluenced my day.

breaking up, is just a step forward

i know some break-ups are all hard,emotional and really rediculous to pull yourself out of.
however, there is a postive.

you can take the negitive energy
from a broken heart,
decieved heart,
stolen heart,
whatever heart
and
use it positvely
to make you a better
and
stronger person.

trust me it may be hard, but it's worth it.

breathing

"im breathin this in like air, man." - S. Koerner


isn't that what we do? breathe in the happiness around us, as air.
however, when the going gets tough it becomes harder to breathe, harder to ecounter the fresh air. the fresh air, you know that's what we need to pursue. to breathe in. if it makes you happy, it's just so much easier to breathe.when you breathe longer, that means you can just keep living.

if you tally up in the people in the world that you find confuse you,
i bet you'd make it to a million then you'd see that you're confusing too.

then there's a dead horse that you're beating while your hair line is receding my friend.

i admire this woman so very much. she is a friend of a friend and i have never truly talked to her before, but her words make me joyful. she is beautiful i know it, and a wonderful creation of God.
her messages are insightful and someday i hope i can run into her and just give her a hug.
love you you, sister.

the way

love you and i fall.
let you go, i stand up.
when i stand up i loose myself.
when i fall, i love.
when i love, i'm me.


when i fall, you worry.
when i fall, i love.
when i fall, i dissapoint.
when i stand up, you support.
when i stand up i loose myself.
when i stand up i cant concentrate on me.
when i stand up my mind becomes part of the world.
when i fall down i feel in the world. i am me, with the world.
when i fall down, i love.

wish you did that, too.

The First One I Tell

i like the way you are just the way you are.
the unsure innocence to the beauty of a rebel.
i know in constant conversations that i can see us dancing.
the memory of disaster in the sublime peace of world.
i like the love that reads higher than any grade.
the interaction of the ties between us.
i like the way you look up and the way i look forward.
the togetherness is almost a completely different world.

than we both know i can.
i do take what you tell me to heart, and although i don't follow it all, which i should...
i love you for caring enough to tell me what you think.

build up your confidence

so you can be on top fo once.


Mr.Big- whaddda man.

load on your shoulders

you tend to have a load on your shoulders,

you tend to have too much going on,

you tend to inspire with wisdom,

and you tend to laugh a lot.

the way you are a people person,

the way you comprehend,

the way you do what you do,

and the way you are a friend.

you tend to be an inspiration,

you tend to love a bunch,

you tend to say thank you,

and you tend to worry too much.

the way you are always with,

the way you hold on tight,

the way the pain is always there,

and they way you always fight.

you tend to be the truthful one,
