If I can't accept his love...

Self-discipline will never make us feel righteous or clean; accepting God's love will. The ability to accept God's unconditional grace and ferocious love is all the fuel we need to obey him in return. Accepting God's kindness and free love is something the devil does not want us to do. If we hear, in our inner ear, a voice saying we are failures, we are losers, we will never amount to anything, this is the voice of Satan trying to convince the bride that the groom does not love her. This is not the voice of God. God woos us with kindness, He changes our character with the passion of His love.

Blue Like Jazz

I've had this book for a while now and for some reason I've never read it. I sat down for a minute in my room the other day and there it was so I picked it up and started reading and I think that was the perfect moment for me to read what it was saying. Lots to think about, and it's good to be forced to think aoutside of my habitual "comfort-zone-box".
There is something beautiful about a billion stars held steady by a God who knows what he's doing. (They hang there, the stars, like notes on a page of music, free-form verse, silent mysteries swirling in the blue like jazz.

new year now

I miss home! School's fine but I miss my dear ones all the same. Even if they do drive me crazy every once in a while...
So I pretty much have nothing interesting to say and am just updating for the sake of updating. Oh but I did have some funny lyrics to write...unfortunately I can't find them...here is something else though. Kind of sad maybe? I can't really tell, but it's nice all the same.
"Like the beautiful red glow of evening, I, a poor lass, would like to shine, to please one lad, one lad, to radiate bliss unendingly."
So there's nice poetry for you. I believe it's the text of lieder by Brahms. hmmm, good stuff. That's how song lyrics used to be back in the day. Aaaaah yes.
