Perfection
I find it completely indescribable the perfection one finds when they have found the person who walks the earth that they were made for. All the corny over used sayings and phrases and references some how make all the sense in the world. At the same time they could never be enough. Love, Soulmate, words that could never describe what it is I feel. I was made for him, and I am with him, how can the feeling that brings ever be put into words, words that could convey this emotion, this new form of existence?

The most beautiful Evanescence song I have ever herd
The words have been drained from this pencil
Sweet words that I want to give you
And I can't sleep
I need to tell you, goodnight...
When we're together I feel perfect
When I'm pulled away from you I fall apart
All you say is sacred to me
Your eyes are so blue, I can't look away
As we lay in the stillness
You whisper to me
Amy, marry me, promise you'll stay with me
Oh you don't have to ask me
You know you're all that I live for
You know I'd die just to hold you
Stay with you
Somehow I'll show you that you are my night sky
I've always been right behind you
Now I'll always be right beside you
So many nights, I cried myself to sleep
Now that you love me I love myself
I never thought I would say that
I never thought there'd be you...
Sweet words that I want to give you
And I can't sleep
I need to tell you, goodnight...
When we're together I feel perfect
When I'm pulled away from you I fall apart
All you say is sacred to me
Your eyes are so blue, I can't look away
As we lay in the stillness
You whisper to me
Amy, marry me, promise you'll stay with me
Oh you don't have to ask me
You know you're all that I live for
You know I'd die just to hold you
Stay with you
Somehow I'll show you that you are my night sky
I've always been right behind you
Now I'll always be right beside you
So many nights, I cried myself to sleep
Now that you love me I love myself
I never thought I would say that
I never thought there'd be you...

Time Has Passed
It has been so incredibly long since I have blogged. Sometimes I believe I have forgotten how to write, and because of that there is rot encased in my mind. Words and stories that never get out begin to decompose in my mind, leaving me helpless to the toxins they infest me with. I find myself afraid to write, too much truth in words. However safe is not who I ever wanted to be. I can’t deal with the stench any longer. I need to get the rot out. I need to feel some freedom somewhere in my life to speak the scary parts of my mind. However writing stories that are abandoned to my laptops many folders makes me feel even more caged. Again though, writing makes you vulnerable, it’s like stripping naked in front of a crowed and saying “here it all is, what do you think”.
It is late tonight. My mind has lost reason and is simply screaming for release. The tight little box I shove it in, has become open. Night is never good for me. I can remember times when I would write till I had nothing left in the late hours of the night. That was before, that was when nothing I could write would hurt anyone. Nothing I could write would damage anyone but myself. Now I have responsibilities, and have been burned enough times to be wise enough to hide. Yet one of my brutal flaws is honesty. I open myself up for rejection and judgment on a regular basis, with the worse people. Being taught human beings are good is the worst thing to do to a child. Very few people are worth the time, and that’s even more dangerous because their judgments and rejections hurt even more.
I am ranting and not making any sense. I cannot decide what to do. To write or not to write? Who knows, it’s late, and my mind may be different in the morning.
Now the question, if I do decide to write, do I rid this blog of my older childish blogs, filled with little that I am now? Or do I leave them be for comparison? This will all seem so unimportant in the morning.

The ocean
I close my eyes and Im lifted out of this dull forgetful moment
Im brought to a beach filled with smells and sounds of the ocean
The warm crisp breeze strokes my face ,the water licks my feet and sand tickles my toes
The breeze is whispering to me of the beauty that I posses but tend to forget
It blows gently threw my short feathery hair and brushes my silent lips
"Lovely" the ocean sings with each dance around my feet
"strength" the sand speaks as it sinks between my toes
I lift my eyes up to watch the changing colors of the sky as the sun dips into the oceans waters
The colors dance in the green of my eyes and a longing to join the sun on it journey into the oceans depths over comes me
What wonders would we find there?
With each passing moment the waves song grows louder, the oceans presence as engulfed me and I am lost amongst its beauty
The smell of the salty waters draws my fingers to it
I sit at the vary edge of the beach, only my feet and out stretched hand meeting the waters
It plays with my fingers, wetting them with a new grace
The breeze is still playing with my hair
My thoughts go with the waves
The waves fall away from the beach, they take a thought that does not reflect who I am with them
They come in and bring more of the truth of my being, it sinks into the hidden scar's under my skin
This song and dance continues and my soul begins to come out if the shadows of this world
The ocean draws me out of my human flesh, full of fear, and my soul is free to fly amongst the waves
I breath deep
My eyes open again...My pc screen hurting my tired eyes
My dream is over and Im here again, amongst the shadows
This ocean is not lost though
Its what's in my mind
Its what dances deep in my soul
That girl on the beach is me, who is not afraid to unleash her beauty
I cannot linger long in the shallows if my soul
In the play and surface of this worlds thoughts
If it were not for the expressions of these words and for the love I have found
My beauty would surely die within the shallows
Im brought to a beach filled with smells and sounds of the ocean
The warm crisp breeze strokes my face ,the water licks my feet and sand tickles my toes
The breeze is whispering to me of the beauty that I posses but tend to forget
It blows gently threw my short feathery hair and brushes my silent lips
"Lovely" the ocean sings with each dance around my feet
"strength" the sand speaks as it sinks between my toes

Dancing in my dream
A laugh raises from deep within my throat
I have to hold back the desire to mock my past life
My toes are wet with the morning dew
Each drop whispers of the freedom I have found
The sun lights up my eyes and the green reflection dances in the rays
My jail is far behind me and I am now twirling in bliss
The music that’s in my ears is too lovely for me to describe
Love is endless
My happiness is founded in love
I have given up the fight against it
The thickets laced with rules and religion have been destroyed
I dance in the delight of God
I see the beauty in all He has created
No one lacking or better than each other
I smile with the knowing that no one person can love better than an other
I am free now
The endless woods of striving have fallen from my memory
I was so proud, blinded by religion
Every one is equal
No one is “lost”
I smile again
Dancing in my dream
My life is beautiful
I have to hold back the desire to mock my past life
My toes are wet with the morning dew
Each drop whispers of the freedom I have found
The sun lights up my eyes and the green reflection dances in the rays
My jail is far behind me and I am now twirling in bliss
The music that’s in my ears is too lovely for me to describe
Love is endless
My happiness is founded in love
I have given up the fight against it
The thickets laced with rules and religion have been destroyed
I dance in the delight of God
I see the beauty in all He has created
No one lacking or better than each other
I smile with the knowing that no one person can love better than an other
I am free now
The endless woods of striving have fallen from my memory
I was so proud, blinded by religion
Every one is equal
No one is “lost”
I smile again
Dancing in my dream
My life is beautiful

I Hurt
This pain is stabbing my chest
I run as fast as my feet will take me
Each thorn of rejection I hit makes tears of love fall from my cheeks
They are piercing my vary soul
They once told me they loved me...
Im not following the "path" Im not perfect
Now these trees bite me with their branches
Slapping words like unworthy and shit across my scarred body
My heart keeps getting wounded...
Does no one know how to love?
Can no one see Im beautiful the way I am
Being who I am
I fall flat in a mud called man made guilt
I struggle to stand up and yet I do
I will no longer let man run my life
These thickets of a lust for authority would try and break my freedom
Im to wild for that
Im to lovely for that!
I wish this pain would go away
Just let me love...please
I bow my head a tears come running down my face
All I want is to be alone and let sorrow overtake me
So thats its storm with pass and I will find myself again
Then I can come to you...how did I ever find you?
Always accepting who I am and never condeming...I thank God for you my love!!
I run as fast as my feet will take me
Each thorn of rejection I hit makes tears of love fall from my cheeks
They are piercing my vary soul

Slapping words like unworthy and shit across my scarred body
My heart keeps getting wounded...

I Am Well
( the spellings horrid, I had no time for spell check today:P)
All the burdens that were pushing on my body have melted away
All the striving that I had been doing is now a goast to me
All the seeking I had been egnoring is now the adveture of my life
I feel so light
I feel the air washing over me whispering words of grace
I feel a calm I have never felt before
Still questions and doubts wirl in my head and heart
Still they some times haunt me
Still however the peace I have about them it sweeter than before
No one tells me who I must be or what I must do
No one can define me, or point at me
No one had a hold on me
I am who I am and not trying to be anything more
I am who I want to be
I am not searching to be found
I peer in on this world and see all its beauty
I look deeper than religion
I look to the sky and watch God
My eyes are always seeing
My heart is always loving
My soul is forever safe in my Fathers arms
Im not falling
Im not fading
Im not hiding
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
All my wounds and scarrs here for you to see..I laugh anyway
All my sins and shame are here for you judgment..I love anyway
All my questions and insecurties are fresh on my skin..I'll hope anyway!
The beautiful souls on this earth are my delight
No one is ever lost...only hurt and forgotten
What if we dared to love insted of Judge them all??
I am no better than a murderer
I am no better than someone lost in depression
I am no better period
I am lost if they are lost
And if they are lost...then so are you
Live life and love..don't waste your time wondering if your right or wrong
I AM FREE HAHAHA

Random Thoughts With No Direction
What was once crystal clear, now is only fog
What was once a reality is now only a dream
What was once beauty is now filthy
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I need
I don't know what I should do
I can't move backwards
I can't stay here
I can't give up
Im waiting on something
Im watching for something
Im hoping it really is there
Keep your tongue at bay
Keep your mouth closed
Keep your opinion to yourself
Im fed up with anything other than love
Im fed up with hypocrisy
Im fed up with fear
My angry words are the expression of my frustrations
My calm words are the expression of my exhaustion
My bitter words are the expression of my pain
Im seeking for deeper
Im seeking for better
Im seeking for sleep
My spirit is Raging with desires
My heart is conflicted with doubt
My mind is pondering life
The only one Im battling is myself
The only one Im afraid of is myself
The only one Im angry at is myself
Think what you want...I don't give a shit
Think what you need to make yourself feel good
Think what you need to justify your conditional love
If only I knew how to get all that is in me out
If only I knew how to find an ultimate expression
If only I could fight my demons with my bare hands
My soul is to deep
My spirit is to misunderstood
My heart is to abused
Who would dare risk swimming in my depths???
Who would dare play beyond my shallows???
Who would dare fight for who I am???
If all you want is my body...fuck you!!
If all you want is my support...fuck you!!
If all you want is my love...you already have it, so let me live
ITS TO SHALLOW!!!
I NEED DEEPER!!!
I NEED MORE!!!
Where is intimacy?
Where is vulnerability?
Where is fun?
My past is filled with wounds
My past is filled with insecurities instilled
My past is filled with doubt
My thoughts are so confused Im going in circles
My mind is so full its waiting for release
My soul is so complicated I need more
Shh my head hurts
Shh my heart hurts
Shh my eyes are open
What was once a reality is now only a dream
What was once beauty is now filthy
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I need
I don't know what I should do
I can't move backwards
I can't stay here

All Around Me
I am IN LOVE with this song. Its the ultimate way to describe what God makes me feel by romancing me with LIFE. I love my life.
All Around Me
(Flyleaf)
My hands are searching for you...
My arms are outstretched towards you
l feel you on my fingertips...
My tongue dances behind my lips for you
This fire runs in through my being...
Burning...
I'm not used to seeing you
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I can feel you all around me,
thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling,
savoring this heart that's healed
My hands float up above me....
And you whisper you love me
And I begin to fade...
Into our secret place
The music makes me sway...
The angels singing say
We are alone with you...
I am alone and they are too with you
And so I cry...
The light is white...
And I see you...
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I can feel you all around me,
thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling,
savoring this heart that's healed
Take my hand I give it to you
Now you own me , all I am..
You said you would never leave me
I believe you, I beleive...
I can feel you all around me
thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling,
savoring this heart that's healed.

I Am Not Afraid
I am not afraid of the darkness
Its fangs cannot hold me captive
Its lust cannot shame me dead
It screams cannot render me deaf
I am not afraid of the wilderness
Its thickets I have beaten
Its mountains I will climb
Its rivers I will wade
I am not afraid of loneliness
Its false reality I see
Its shallow truth I will never believe
Its weak prophetic I see past
I am not afraid of rejection
Its thorns cannot kill me
Its mud cannot consume me
Its fire cannot burn me
I am not afraid of condemnation
Its bounds I have left behind
Its secrets will be told
Its insecurities will end its power
I am not afraid of confrontation
I live off its freedom
I love off its resolutions
I bleed of its truth
I am not afraid of love
My insecurities will not hinder it
My idols will not twist it
My heart will move with it
I am not afraid to change my mind
social games will not cripple me
False commitment will not stop me
Accusations are not my god
I'm not afraid of fear
Of the heat it rises in my heart
Of the pain it causes in my soul
Of the cords it wraps around my neck
I am not afraid
Or at least I tell myself so....
Its fangs cannot hold me captive
Its lust cannot shame me dead
It screams cannot render me deaf
I am not afraid of the wilderness
Its thickets I have beaten
Its mountains I will climb
Its rivers I will wade
I am not afraid of loneliness
Its false reality I see
Its shallow truth I will never believe
Its weak prophetic I see past
I am not afraid of rejection
Its thorns cannot kill me
Its mud cannot consume me
Its fire cannot burn me
I am not afraid of condemnation
Its bounds I have left behind
Its secrets will be told
Its insecurities will end its power
I am not afraid of confrontation

I love off its resolutions
I bleed of its truth
I am not afraid of love
My insecurities will not hinder it
My idols will not twist it
My heart will move with it
I am not afraid to change my mind

Of the pain it causes in my soul

I am free and I will live so
I am free and I will love so
I am free
I am free

Finding My Reflection
I was walking by a stream and dared to look inside
The reflection I saw stunned me
My face was pale and plain and my eyes dim and lifeless
I looked harder, deeper searching for myself
Then across in my eyes faces kept appearing
First it was my fathers
Then it was my mothers
Then it was my brothers
Then it was my sisters
Then it was my first crush by which I was rejected
Then it was my second interest by which I was used
Then it was my third, which saw and loved an other
My face fell, and embarrassment over threw me
Who I am was hidden behind all these faces
The harder I looked the more intense their faces appeared
Their words and rejections started wringing in my ears
Their encouragement (if any) fell into a bottomless pit as I wasn’t there
The deeper I went the more I saw their names engraved on my heart
So much so I could not see any part that had not been written upon
The bad out weighed the good and the definition of who I am was left at their disposal
The terror that over took me brought me to my knees
All my time thus far has been spent searching for one to tell me who I am for the rest of my days
And when all doors are closed and there is no one left
I stand with no identity
I’m faceless
I’m nameless
I’m trying to live on someone else’s identity
Making mine to fit theirs as to never be without a name
My name as been many, but never my own
My eyes fill up and spill over washing away all the other names
The faces slowly start to fade and the writing’s upon my heart begin to wash away
The terror starts to find me telling me I’ll find nothing as I look for myself
I know this is a lie
Its time for me too see all I really am
Its time for me to say my name and know all its meaning
The wonders I will find will not be empty
God does not make anything that is nameless or lost
I am amazing if I would let it out
The words of men will not cage me or define me
The insecurities of women will not brand me or label me
I am who I am
That will always be enough
I’m walking away now
Leaving them all behind
I will return when I find myself
I am hidden in a woods that is deep and vast
I know on the other end there is field vast and quenched
It’s lit by the son himself and flowers grow wild
Pink, purple and white they survive every winter
They can grow on hills and mountains and survive animals treading
So small and delicate with a fragrance sweet
I will bring others there to delight in all its beauty
Before the end I will dance in a field flowing with Heather
The reflection I saw stunned me
My face was pale and plain and my eyes dim and lifeless
I looked harder, deeper searching for myself
Then across in my eyes faces kept appearing
First it was my fathers
Then it was my mothers
Then it was my brothers
Then it was my sisters
Then it was my first crush by which I was rejected
Then it was my second interest by which I was used
Then it was my third, which saw and loved an other
My face fell, and embarrassment over threw me
Who I am was hidden behind all these faces
The harder I looked the more intense their faces appeared
Their words and rejections started wringing in my ears
Their encouragement (if any) fell into a bottomless pit as I wasn’t there
The deeper I went the more I saw their names engraved on my heart
So much so I could not see any part that had not been written upon
The bad out weighed the good and the definition of who I am was left at their disposal
The terror that over took me brought me to my knees
All my time thus far has been spent searching for one to tell me who I am for the rest of my days
And when all doors are closed and there is no one left
I stand with no identity
I’m faceless
I’m nameless
I’m trying to live on someone else’s identity
Making mine to fit theirs as to never be without a name
My name as been many, but never my own
My eyes fill up and spill over washing away all the other names
The faces slowly start to fade and the writing’s upon my heart begin to wash away
The terror starts to find me telling me I’ll find nothing as I look for myself
I know this is a lie
Its time for me too see all I really am
Its time for me to say my name and know all its meaning
The wonders I will find will not be empty
God does not make anything that is nameless or lost
I am amazing if I would let it out
The words of men will not cage me or define me
The insecurities of women will not brand me or label me
I am who I am
That will always be enough
I’m walking away now
Leaving them all behind
I will return when I find myself
I am hidden in a woods that is deep and vast
I know on the other end there is field vast and quenched
It’s lit by the son himself and flowers grow wild
Pink, purple and white they survive every winter
They can grow on hills and mountains and survive animals treading
So small and delicate with a fragrance sweet
I will bring others there to delight in all its beauty
Before the end I will dance in a field flowing with Heather

Shit
I wish my tears could cure people of illness and heartach
Then maybe all the ones I cry would not be in vain
Chasing after a shadow that has left me shocked and lonely
One crisis ofter another my heart seems to encounter
Each one more strange and unexpected than the last
Yet again Im broken
Shatter across my hands are the sharp percing peices of my heart
My hope hides in the shaddows and Im lost trying to find it
My eyes are blurred with tears and Im stumbling around
Where did you go?
Why me, why does this keep happening to me oh God!!!
Im tired of learing, my heart can't take anymore
No more No more No more
Do hear my crys GOD, do you hear my voice?
I don't even know who I am at this moment Im so torn inside
How are we going to knit the peices back together God?
My needle has gone dull
All my thred as run out and my patches used up
Im all yours God...I have nothing left inside
Im a puddle of tears and blood
I become angry in my pain and frustration
With no one to direct it at
Im done Im finished
Your move
Then maybe all the ones I cry would not be in vain

No Regrets
Well after coming to a low of human anger and frustration I have decided that I wouldn't take it back. No not at all.
Its only when I reach that low of complete and utter confusion and frustration that I ever realize anything. So I don't consider it a waste of time, for if I never went there to that place I would never find any destination at all.I would lay in the coziness of a shallow life ignoring all pain and questions. However the extremes it would take to live like that would ultimately bring me faster into desolation then the small trips I take there now. I take those without harming myself with some stupid action or substance. Im grateful for those trips because I challenge God and say " ok God lets go as deep as we can go into my pain and fears. Lets see what you do and if you can handle it." So I go as deep as I can. As deep as my mangled heart will go. Most if this takes place in my journal. When I have written till I have nothing more to write,till all my rants and pains and fears are spilled out in bloody messes all over the pages. Im left softer then when I started. My emotions and thoughts are all now infront of me instend of raging inside me and I can relax for amoment. Take a deep breath and have nothing blinding me from seeing what I am really dealing with. What was producing all these emotions and thoughts and pain.
What do I do once I get there? Then its Gods turn. I have nothing left. Im an open book, I can then be whispered to and written upon because there is no rage or walls left inside me. Im just a weak vulnerable human being who is ready to learn to accept who she is and let it all go. Once I came to that point I hear wonderful things and frightening things.
Forgive and Love. Not just those around me...but me as well. We are all horrid mess's who are we to point it out to someone else when we are just like them. The only thing that will ever matter in this life is Love and learning how to do it. Im ok with my condition. Its sucks most the time but if I can love without expecting it back. If I can be confident in one thing...that I am loved by God. Then I can love all those around me and myself. Because He loved me first.Its so basic but if I were to dwell on it longer this blog would go on forever.
Forgiving Im finding is the hard part. Loving is being vulnerable and I don't know if Im strong enough to be that vulnerable.Im going to start with my family because well thats the most important and the hardest because thats were I got most my wounds. In order to love my family Im going to have to forgive them and ask for forgiveness. Im going to have to expose myself to do that and that's scary. Because no matter how much I "know" my family loves me, showing it is different. I have no idea who most the people in my family are. Im afraid to try and love them because if that love is refused by someone who is supposed to love me unconditionally...ouch. This is my torment at the moment know I need to do this to truly learn to love but I am a weak fearful human being. I have a lot to lose and a lot to gain. Theres more I could say but I don't need to.
Until the next flurry of emotions and frustrations or joy or rage or sadness...well it could be any one and its going to happen. Im never going to "get it right" none of us ever will no matter what we believe in. There is something wonderfully beautiful about human beings in all our aspects. Its something only God truly understands as He made us and LOVES us. So I'll just stare in wonder at it and live this life.
I love you all!

The honesty of some of whats going on inside my head
“I try to forget you, but without you I feel nothing
Don’t leave me here, by myself
I can’t breathe
I run to you, call out your name
I see you there, further away
What I feel is not you, not love, just nothing”
My doubt is aggravating and disgusting. I don’t doubt that God is real. I doubt if there is any hope for this world. Any hope for me. “I stole their smiles and made them mine I sold my soul just to hide the lies...now I see what I really am a thief, a hore, and a liar.”
Children are so innocent because they have not yet been wounded by human beings. We wound because we have been wounded.
What started this cycle? Pride. It all started with pride. Satan fell because of pride. Woman fell because of pride. She thought God was holding out on her and forgot His awesomeness. Man fell because he was caught up in woman's pride his own pride. He had the most beautiful creation in all the earth as his. He was the MAN but if he rebuked her...whould he lose her?? Then what would he have? He forgot about God in that moment and we have been dying ever sense. That scares me. We became pride full before we fell. Is that our demise? Were we created with a flaw that is eternal? Will we ever understand Love??? Will we fall time and time again? Is it possible to grab a hold of Love here on this earth and live it out? Or will are pride and politics screw us over every time. We are so foolish.
I am so foolish. I hide because Im afraid of men. Literally...men. Im scared shitless of them. This is how I see it at my most terrified point. Beauty inspires strength. Strength also inspires beauty. A woman being beautiful is a woman being a woman to her fullest. She is not worried or afraid. She is strong, graceful, and soft. But what woman would want to be beautiful ( herself, as every single woman on this earth is beautiful) for a bunch of pricks???? This is my question. ( there are some strenght crippling bitches out there don’t think I don’t know that. It just not my focus in this blog)You want to know why I hide behind a mask? Because I wont be beautiful ( myself) in all my freedom and vulnerableness for an asshole. So I spend my time wondering who is safe....who is not....who will hurt me, who will love me? I don’t even mean in a romantic relationship. Guys who are your friends are still guys. It ends up effecting my relationships with my girlfriends when guys are around. Im not fully me.
I don’t know who I can trust with my identity. The more I hide my identity the more unhappy I become. But I will not throw it away to anyone. Why do I long for a guy so much some times? Because then I can let go and be me. However will I still get hurt? It doesn’t matter man of God or man of flesh they all have the potential to be jerks at times.
Then when you do see a man you want to know who you really are.....you feel as though who you are isn’t good enough.
We are so foolish. How does God ever Love us some times I wonder. He offers it all and yet we are so blind. How do we live on this earth? How do we have relationships with one another and not hurt each other so often. How do we keep are eyes on His love and off of ourselves and are foolish minds and social politics??? I have people I LOVE in my life my beautiful girls, ( though Im afraid of them too most of the time) my strong guys, and my family. I would do anything for them, but be me to my fullest. Because Im to afraid of being hurt. I will be vulnerable in moments and in pieces but never bare naked here I am this is me for all to see and judge.
Love casts out all fear.....the trick is finding out who loves you...really loves YOU. That's were the games we play come in. We try so hard not get hurt in doing so we hurt others and the cycle continues. Im so sick of it. I love my friends so much....I would hate to think they needed to hide from me...its not fair. This is so confusing the human condition BAHHHHH.
Don’t leave me here, by myself

Who are you to tell me, Im less than what I should be?
My body aches and groans with wounds unhealed.
My eyes spill of sorrows and pains untold
My pain is not valid my heart is to “young”
You can take your thoughts of my inferiority and shove them up your ass
You can take your games to lessen your shame and break them across your back
My heart is young and soft to the touch
My walls were not quite high enough to make me distrust
My eyes saw through a filter of innocence
You touched the most tender part of me and threw it to dust
You made me face a knew kind of rejection and self esteem low
My chest rises with flames of anger
My heart cries out with screams of insecurity
My thoughts are haunted with your corroding memories
You say it was no big deal
You say Im not aloud to me so messed up, Im to young
You have no idea, all of you, no idea.
My honesty is ranting,I will not hide my rage
My inferiority is slipping Im finding myself worth something
My beauty is not to be mistaken for this shell Im in
You see what's on the outside
You have no idea the qualities that lay in the inside
You cannot conceive what's in my depths
My soul is a mystery, my body is not, which takes more of a man?
My glance sets upon every day many pairs of lusting eyes
My heart feels sick to the point of physical disgust
You may think from my ranting I have written you all off
You are greatly mistaken
You do not know of the forgiveness that I can smell
My heart is now in a fight to remain soft
My soul is in a fight to stay open
My self esteem floats to and from me
You see I do forgive you
You should know I still believe there are some that can be who they are supposed to be
You should know that my forgiveness is not found in me, I find it in the One who conquered His flesh.
My soul is being draw into His grace
My heart is being soften by His love
My anger is being replaced by His sweet fragrance
You should know it takes time
You should know I wont heal in a day I can’t wholly forgive in an hour
You should know that I love to much to stay angry forever
(This is an exspression of the struggles I have been having with males lately and the assults of theirs that have befallen me. I don’t hate you all. Im fighting a fight and need to exspress myself. )

Im such a quirky girl...
Im such a flurry of emtions right now. God is doing wonderful things in my life and in my heart. He rising up new things in me and speaking new revalations in me.
Im more free now than I have been in ages.
There is always this one particular situation that arises when I draw closer to God that causes me great suffering. I want to let it go, I want to let its slip into a corner of my mind and dissapear into the abyss. I want to kill it. I want it to die. My spirit is unsettled and I can't grab a hold of an ultimate peace. I want to desire this no more and be completely free. Its not a sinful desire, so Im finding it harder to deal with for that reason. Its just hope for a hopeless cause. Just saying that makes tears leap to my eyes. I can't figure out my own motives behind my desire and that frustrates me. I wish that were a lie. I wish this was all bs and I really knew and was just in denial. Its so much more complicated than that. I don't know what God wants to do with it. What He's using for. If He is using it for what I want to think He is than its just cruel and unfair and Gods not like that.
so Im left with an equation that has no answer, with no factors or formuals. Its a complete mystery. I don't even understand myself. God is faithful. Hes all that matters.

Are your toes wet?
Are your toes wet?
Ok so last night Im at Katie's, people are worshiping and praying and its good, except that Im completely silent.
This might appear to be normal for me, but its a lie. Things were rising up in me and I wanted to scream them out. Speak vision and revelation. Let God use me to unleash a spirit of contending for His presence . To even just cry out for His desire for me. To cry out in pursuit of Him.
Still I was silent. As I started worshiping it got worse. I felt like there was an other person inside me, pushing on the walls of my shell of fear of man, wanting to be unleashed. It would get so bad I could feel it peak in my throat and then as soon as refused to speak, it was if I had swallowed in back into submission and it disappeared. I would start worshiping again, it would happen again...but more intense. Still I wouldn’t speak.
Then “The Vision” was read. I couldn’t speak...I sobbed. There were no words at that moment, only the most intense emotion I have felt it a vary long time. I wanted it. I wanted to grasp that vision and live it. At that moment I realized what was trying to get out of me was me. It was the me that lives only for Christ. It was who God created me to be. The closer I get to Him the more that person comes alive. Its Christ in me. I was beating it down, swallowing it, refusing to embrace absolute beauty and life because I was afraid of all the people in the room. People who are seeking after the same thing!!!! How ludicrous is that?
So many people live this way. Christians. We can’t live a life of sin, we know it doesn’t work. When we get closer to God, to the place were it gets uncomfortable for our flesh we back off. We live this life of mediocre seeking when it comes to God because we are afraid to let our flesh get uncomfortable and die.
Being a servant of God calls for radical, dangerous, Freedom in Christ. Nothing else matters except living for Him. Being walking examples if His love. Our flesh desires acceptance, to belong. I don’t want to “belong” I want to be LOVED. I want to bring light in dark places because I live and breathe Christ. That makes my flesh uncomfortable because I know the sacrifice that's going to have to take place. Its time for our flesh to die. To stop getting our toes wet so we can feel some what alive, and dive in. Am I going to lose a lot...yes more than likely, Im I afraid....YES. However I want it all, I want to be on fire 24/7 with the love of God. I want to content for it. To wrestle for my blessing. He means so much more to me than anything else. This is going to be hard and I might fall down, but I will not stop getting back up. He is pursing me at every turn of my life and I can no longer ignore Him out of “fear of man”.

He Is Faithful
I feel lighter. I feel softer. For the first time in the last 3 months I feel peace. Its so sweet I can almost taste it.
I’ve been trying SO hard to be something, or to not be something, that really I’ve just been trying to be anything but myself. I have been so confused and paralyzed in my own worry and doubt about who I am that I started to doubt all that God has for me. I’ve wanted someone else to tell me who I am so that I could be that person and know I was accepted. I thought I was trying to “better” myself when really I have just been hiding myself out of fear. Then the quest to “better” myself started to lead me to no were but desolation and more fear. I got so confused about who I am, I couldn’t tell what was me and what was the “me” I was trying to be. I was failing at my quest and that's all I knew. So I assumed that because I felt like I was failing all those around me ( Christians) were pointing and saying “ Your not enough”. These are my friends who I love SOOO much and I bought into the lie that they were scoffing and judging me. That they had expectations of me and that I was failing miserably. I don’t know how I got so blind. I don’t know how I became so captive, but I did. I bought the lies I was being sold without even knowing at the time I was doing it.
The devil attacked my weakness’s and from there I fell faster than I even knew I could. I got to the place were I couldn’t even hear truth. People would speak it and I couldn’t hear it because I was so confused. God intervened. It had to stop He had to reach me. He did. All that had confused me all that had held me He demolished in one day. By the simplest conversations with a friend. He knew what I needed to hear, who I would hear it from, and when I was ready to receive it. If it had come a moment sooner or a moment later I would be just as deaf and confused today. God is so amazing!
I want so bad to just be able to rush up to Him and hug Him. To dance for Him to sing for Him. He is faithful. I may no be able to physically hug Him but I can still dance and sing for Him. It makes me happy. Its been so long sense I have felt free from the fear of rejection. Its the most beautiful feeling. I don’t have to strive anymore, my striving was in vain. All that I wanted to attain, beauty, wisdom, strength, I find in Him. He dwells in Me. Its all here, “seek Me with all your heart and you will find Me”. The best part about that “ Im being chased by the vary one I pursue”. I don’t have to better myself Im lovely just the way I am. No longer will I be distracted with striving. Im not seeking God when I think I need to better myself. Im ignoring God when I do that because He made me and delights in me and loves me and that's all I need. AHHH its so beautiful!!! I can hear Him again. I don’t feel the need to hide. Its wonderful, Im so in love! Im in love with the vary essence of love. I feel content and PEACEFUL.
I know challenges will come again, I go from one end of the spectrum all the way to the other. However I learn every time, I get closer to Him every time. He never leaves me. Just when I feel I can’t go an other step He’s right there in front of me. He is faithful.

Shh Its Late
Some times I love staying up late. My mind takes off with me and leads me to one of two places. Absolute desolation or pure optimism. Tonight Im feeling rather optimistic.
With all the pain I have come to encounter in life, my heart stills refuses to let go of the possibility that life holds something mystical and joyful. Some call it denial, I like to call it beauty. Life has so MANY choices and dilemmas and situations that need working out and thought. The pressure to what's right fills every moment. The need to do what's right for my heart haunts me. Stopping me from doing stupid things out of pure overwhelmed “I just don’t know what to do anymore” ness.
I like to put myself in a box. The “heart box” as my beloved Nicole might say. I take all my desires and emotions and frustrations and shove them in a box. I close it up tight and hope for the best. Its products; Depression, bitterness, more frustration, self doubt and over all constriction. I get so unbearably lonely. I try and do something about it, but I can’t because there is no remedy for it. Its a curse that will follow me for some time to come. It scares me to admit that.
However then this is were the optimism comes in. If it didn’t I would just be a basket case all the time and not just most of it haha. I like me, I like even my heart box. Because its all apart of me. Every stupid irrational thing I do reflects me. I am quite complicated and really I like it that way. Every human being is. Though Im the only one that's screwed up in the way I am, because I am the only me. Im the only one who will finds joy in the way I do the in things I do, because I am the only me. Honestly if you don’t think that Im awesome well....screw you because I am awesome.
Someday I will experience my own little taste of heaven on earth. I will fall madly in love. I will be the classic “girl in love” or “twiterpated” ( I watched bambi 2 the other night) I flaunt and laugh and really not care about what anyone else thinks. The best thing I have realized is that I don’t have to wait till I fall in love.
My life sucks so much some times and even when Im happy its just “happy” not joyful. I know that even if Im free and joyful there will be things that will mess it up. No avoiding it, but why not give it a try? Why not try liking who I am? Sounds good to me. Because no matter how sucky this life gets I just cannot give up on the possibility its worth living. That there is something wonderful and beautiful behind it all. Im looking for it and yes I can see it some times. People. I see it in people. I love to explore peoples minds, hearts, and souls. So much beauty there. That's what makes me optimistic.
I still have my defense mechanisms. I do I ever have those. My newest one to add to the collection. Hate. If ya hate em you wont love em! Its working so far. Oh well I’ll worry about those at an other time. For right now its 2 am on a friday night. There is some rather odd music playing on my tv and I feel really good. Just because I have decided to. Because its never as bad as it seems and Im going to keep telling myself that. Im all I need to be......someday....I’ll believe it, for now.......I pretend to. HAHA what I random blog I love it!!! The sweet disillusion of my dreamy mind.
Goodnight
