Thorns

Creed of Life: “Let your love be stronger than your hate and anger. Learn the wisdom of compromise, for it is better to bend a little than to break.”


Your life is a reflection of your thoughts. If you change your thinking, you change your life. Accept that you are where you are, and you are what you are because of yourself. If you don’t like it, change it!

Things may go wrong, but life must go on. Tears may run dry, but smiles must be given. And every time you fall, you should always rise… because this is how God teaches us to be strong.

Life has uncertainties. We don’t know when our time on earth is up ’till it’s over. So take many pictures, laugh much, have a long walk with someone, take time to look up at the stars, eat well, sing your praises, feel the wind, smile a lot and love… because every 60 seconds you spend is a minute of happiness you can never get back.

Even if love is full of thorns, embrace it. For between those “THORNS” there’s a “ROSE” that’s worth all the pain.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. What you really need to do is to find one good reason why it will.

It is always a risk to like someone. It involves time, patience, and understanding to get someone’s heart to open up. At times, it will work. Other times, it won’t. But that’s why you call it a risk - you invest in something and there’s a possibility you won’t win. However, you still get something in return: strength of heart and mind, and the assurance that you won’t have any regrets from not trying.

Missing someone.

Today I have witnessed the true meaning of unconditional love. A father saying goodbye to his young daughter as she flys cross the world. I never thought, how do you really say goodbye to someone you are hugging while still trying to hold them in your heart? I know our emotions have the power to effect our mood, way of thinking and actions, but how do you move on with you daily life when all you want to do is weap?




Begining the Journey

Listen to your heart... live... love...be inspired.
Begining: I'm making an oath to myself to write about my journey through painting and finding strength through the Lord to overcome obstacles. Also finding love, I’m not talking about a man, but finding love for things that I cannot change and learning to love unconditionally. Lately life has been like sand falling between my fingers and I’m feeling like I’m losing control. So I decided that I'm taking these next few months to really learn who I am and what purpose I have in life. Many of things have happened in these past few months that have left me hopeless. But through God and an inspiring person things are looking just a little tad better. I want to start this journey by looking at positive things that have happened in my life the day of or day prior no matter how gloomy that day may have seemed. I will try my hardest not to list the same thing more than one and I also want to attach something that has inspired me during the day.  I hope that those of you who are actually reading this will jump in the rollercoaster with me and take this journey and learn something from what I’m hoping to learn during this time.


Promise: Through all my stress and feeling hopeless this past week, Ginny has allowed me to see the light through the lyrics of this song.

Insiprational Song: If You Want Me To by Ginny Owens

The pathway is broken
And the signs are unclear
And I dont know the reason why you brought me here
But just because You love me the way that You do
I will go through the valley
If You want me to

CHORUS:
Now I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise
You're not through with me yet
So if all of these trials bring me closer to You
I will go through the fire
If You want me to

It may not be the way I would have chosen
When you lead me through a world that's not my own
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I'll never go alone

So when the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear You answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through
And I will go through the valley
If You want me to
