this semester...

Why should resolutions only be left up to the start of the calendar year?

I plan to
--conquer my fear of heights
--speak spanish
--teach myself guitar
--read more often

more importantly: learn to come to terms with the phrase "everything happens for a reason"

for the love of music...

music is love

or is it love is music?

either way, music is something that will always be a part of my life.

somewhere someone said:

A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. ~Leopold Stokowski

Without music life would be a mistake. ~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Mama T ... what what!

A daily prayer of Mother THERESA, a true saint.

dear Lord,

help me spread Your fragrance wherever i Go.
FLOOD my soul with Your Spirit & LiFE.
PeNeTrAtE me, possess my whole being
so utterly all my life may only be
A *RADIANCE* of Yours.
SHINE through me and be so in me that
EVERY soul i come in contact with may
FEEL Your presence in my soul.
Let them look up and see no longer me,
but only You, o Lord!

Let me preach You without PREACHING,
not by words, but by my ExAmPlE
by the catching FORCE, the sympathetic
influence of what i Do, the evident
fullness of the LOVE my heart bears
to You.
amen.

Perseverence

"may the Lord direct your heart with God's love and Christ's perseverence" 2 Thess 3:5

But my righteous one will live by faith.... Heb 10:38

Lord tells us to persist on His account.... he asks us to:

PERSEVERE

"But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved." -- Hebrews 10:39

desire to become transparent and persevere

guard your heart

"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life...Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm." -- Proverbs 4:23-26

i'm continually learning about the grace and love...

she said it best

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."-- Maya Angelou

Sometimes you have to go outside

how do you find focus when your mind is so cluttered?

"Go outside
And praise the God who mapped the stars out in the sky
Gather ‘round with those who love and sing
He is our King
If you have air to breathe
Hear your call to sing" 

--Robbie Seay Band
