This morning I woke up with an odd pang of rejection. And then I remembered. That's exactly how the Devil would want me to feel. Rejected, hopeless, unable to move on, unable to achieve what God wants me to achieve. That's why I don't want to give in. I refuse to. 'Cause it's hindering my progress with God. And this fact is inevitable, God has better plans. Plans that are just not our plans. Plans that we might just not understand. so yeah, I'm staying strong, and so should you. Trust Him, He definitely never fails. ;)

"You can't be connected with God until you're at peace with who you are. If you're still upset that God gave you this body or this life or this family or these circumstances, you will never be able to connect with God in a healthy, thriving, sustainable sort of way. You'll be at odds with your maker. And if you can't come to terms with who you are and the life you've been given, you'll never be able to accept others and how they were made and the lives they've been given. And until you're at peace with God and those around you, you will continue to struggle with your role on the planet, your part to play in the ongoing creation of the universe. You will continue to struggle and resist and fail to connect. " - Rob Bell , on exploring the endless connections between sexuality and spirituality.

heheh, i'm back. And I'm planning on keeping this blog around. Hopefully I update regularly now. Anyways, just a post-hiatus poem for you. ;) Coming to like a person can be a beautiful thing We might forget life as we know it Concentrating solely on the person's everything. It might seem unhealthy It might seem foolish But the feelings may be difficult to control Difficult to dismiss. That's why wisdom from God is essential To discern the valid and invalid reasons To take the proper steps And to take care not to be misguided. Yet, one often feels disappointed When rejection presents itself twice When things just don't work out And unanswered, goes the heart's cries But take heart my fellow friend For God has his will and plans 'He knows what's best for us', A phrase commonly uttered But indeed how true it is, For it is, after all, the God who formed the heavens and the Earth. In memory of the blues. ;)
