undiscovered

Maybe some people just aren’t meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some people are just passing through. Its like some people just come through our lives to bring us something: a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn, and thats why they’re here… you’ll have that gift forever.

You know what’s wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You’re chicken, you’ve got no guts. You’re afraid to stick out your chin and say, “Okay, life’s a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that’s the only chance anybody’s got for real happiness.” You call yourself a free spirit, a “wild thing,” and you’re terrified somebody’s gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you’re already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it’s not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It’s wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.

On the spot.

My friend asked for advice about being patient.

This is what I texted her:

“We can’t let distance or time judge what we are really worth.”

1 Corinthians 13

Love is patient

i can’t believe how much patience God has given me. i want to continue to wait; to remain patient. i pray that i will be slow to anger and quick to understand. His timing will come. it’s coming soon.

Love is kind

sometimes it’s hard to be kind…especially when i feel like the kindness is one-sided. i give and i give, with nothing in return. but isn’t that how God feels sometimes? He blesses us and gives us so much, and yet we don’t realize it. i refuse to become bitter, even though i have my moments of it. God, pour your kindness into my heart.

Love does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

pride will crush you eventually. it’s tough being vulnerable, open, honest…but what’s worse is being cold and putting up walls. i want to boast in Jesus Christ alone, no matter what happens in the end. He has given me strength and perseverance that i could never achieve on my own.

Love is not rude

sometimes it hurts…

Love keeps no record of wrongs

time and time again, God gives us a clean slate. He gives us a second chance. every breath, every action, every opportunity to be selfless and love is a second chance to grow. seize His love, don’t look back. i’m not going to hold onto the past with such a bright future.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth

even the smallest act of kindness speaks God’s truth to me. He promises that if we abide in Him, we will bear His fruit. it’s contagious to others! i don’t want to see you destruct yourself. evil is around us, but love is so much stronger. cling to it.

Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

love never fails. God’s love will not let you down. fear is the opposite of love. if you live in fear, you will never understand the fullness of His joy. God can do anything; His plans are unknown, but i have faith that they will exceed what we can imagine. i hope that stubbornness or insecurity won’t damage what He has in store.

I’m not the silly romantic you think. I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want…a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved.

It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.

BACK TO SCHOOL SOON!

“Y’know what? This is what I go by: It doesn’t matter how good-looking a guy is, it just depends on his personality. If a guy can make you laugh and make fun of you, then that’s what would win me over. So, yeah. When a guy can make fun of you, thats attractive. Who knew that teasing could have so much power over women!” -Rachel Bilson
