my current read : "when dreams come true" by eric & lesly ludy. ive only read maybe half of this book but its one that you dont want to read too fast for fear of missing something. although this book is more of a story on its subject matter than it is a devotional, its jammed packed with powerful truths. here are a few of the things i forced myself to write down while reading:

* i will not be force fed truth, i will search for and joy in it.

* i will guard and cherish what god has given me.

* i will not disassociate myself spiritually to fit in.

* i will not be a stumbling block, but a stepping stone for those in need.

* i will not conform to society's ideals, i will hold fast to what i believe.

* i will not sacrifice the plan for my life for pleasure.

* god directs even when we cannot see it.

* if god can watch you break his heart and still love you, then restoration in relationships is possible.

* true love is not found while forsaking my first love, christ.

* true love turns your heart, not your head.

me as of late: impatient but very very, very resistant to change. and change is exactly whats happened lately. i get the odd feeling it isnt finished. change is continueing, only i dont know what that change is. i cant force my eyes to see beyond where i am at, right here, right now but i helplessly pray i am ready. time isnt mine to mess with, i will fight my hardest to keep to the path that fate has dealt. thats my only guarantee.ever get so content that you are absolutley scared to take on anything more for fear that you will watch it all fall? ive come to the conclusion that the only way past this is patience. better days are still ahead, and as content as i am right now, i know there is more. again, i just pray im ready. there is so much to be learned in letting go and allowing destiny take course. never rush where angels fear to tread. time tells all and what shall be, will be. my aim is focus on that which will be standing or picking me up when all else falls as well as living my life in such a way that i can be that for others. it shouldnt take change, tragedy, or a constant fight with fate for us to seriously evaluate what is really important in life.
