Love.

My life has fallen into place. I love where I live, I love my house, I love getting to model, I love it.. I love adventure and spontaneity.. but doing it all alone, that's where I don't love. I'm ready, completely ready to fall in love again. I'm ready to feel that happiness. Excited to get up every morning just because it means I get to see that guy.. Im ready.


"Love is just love, it can never be explained"

I've been dating since I was 14 years old, so where are you. I want to fall in love again.. fearlessly. When I am accomplishing my goals, living out my life I can't help but want to share the excitement of it all, have someone to love to experience it too. I'm ready to do all the adventures, spontaneous things, crazy things, laugh, cry.. with you.

Whoever you are.....

*Pain is the fuel of passion- it energizes us with an intensity to change that we don't normally possess. Pain is God's megaphone. It is God's way of arousing us from spiritual lethargy. Your problems are not punishment; they are wake-up calls from a loving God*

Small Delicacies

Im getting nervous, things are finally real. My best friend left today.. and Im leaving in 4 days, moving. My whole new life is about to start, and its what I've wanted for 53 days now.. a whole new start. And now that its happening, im scared to death.

I know I have to take this first leap though. Moving, its not the same as leaving home and traveling around, Im making the decision to make a new life somewhere. With this move it makes me think of everything that really matters to me in my life. I will take the memories I have created here over the last 23 years.. and especially the ones I have from the last 5 of college. I've come to realize the small delicacies in life through this thinking.. and something I wish everyone could live by, don't spend your time looking towards that next big thing you want to do, relish in moments. I will never forget the small moments I shared with my best friends dancing in the living room throwing flour all over ourselves, or laying in bed with the guy I loved all day just watching movies and laughing about everything, how amazing I felt.. these small things, that seem so insignificant at the time.. moments that I could have passed by because I had something bigger, and appointment to make, things to work on, emails to send, but I didn't, I relished in them. I know people that seem to be rushing through life, always looking towards that next thing. One day, you will realize how much those moments, or that person, meant to you.. but it will be too late.. they will be gone, and that appointment, work, email, phone calls, wont seem so important anymore.

My mom's best friend, who is like my second mom, has been given 2 weeks to live.

What do you when you are given a time limit on life? I know that the old saying is to live each day as if it were your last.. but that is so much easier said than done. But something to think about.. what would you do if you had 2 weeks to live? Who would you see, what would you do, where would you go...? And how do you know you don't only have 2 weeks to live, why aren't you living that way now?


"So turn around you're not too far to back away be who you are, To change your path go another way, It's not too late you can be saved. If you feel depressed with past regrets, the shameful nights you hope to forget can disappear they can all be washed away.."

Some things to ponder..


The Bible does not say the way to Heaven is by following rules and going through rituals and motions, the Bible says the way to Heaven is to KNOW Jesus, to have a personal relationship with Him. Not making sure you’re following rules, but following Him.


Scholars say Homers "The Illiad" is considered to be 95% accurate to this day, and there have been 643 copies written, out of all the copies, only 3 falter from the original :: If you include fragments there are 25,000 copies of the New Testament written, and scholars say "The New Testament" is the most reliable ancient document in history, and is considered to be 99.95% accurate, meaning out of 25,000 copies, only .05% falter from the original.


Archaeological Discovery. Two historians, Nelson Glueck & William Ramsey, were determined to find out that they Bible was not reliable. At the end of their journey this is what they said: “let it be stated categorically that no archeological find has ever controverted a Biblical reference."


The Bible is the only book written over a 1500 year period, on 3 continents, with over 40 authors who addressed over 100 controversial subjects.. yet the story remains the same. Every time.


Billions of people claim that they have read the book and it has radically changed their life. They find meaning and purpose and joy and fulfillment and peace. People die proclaiming its contents.


So, Jesus lived, this we know. This is what historical accuracy tells us, but the main question, is Jesus the divine power? This is the atheist argument.. Lets state some facts.



Prophecies.

  • 25% of the Bible is prophecy (there are about 2500). In the Old Testament 200 prophecies were made 500 years before Jesus was born. Jesus fulfilled all 200 prophecies during His lifetime.
  • The chance of JUST fulfilling 48 of these prophecies is 1 X10 ^ 57th power, AND according to Barellies Law anything beyond 1X10 ^ 50th power is scientifically impossible.. yet Jesus fulfilled ALL 200. Please, question that.
  • Just a few He fulfilled:1. He be born a virgin 2. He be a descendant of Abraham 3. The exact price he would be betrayed for 4. He would be beaten and spit upon 5. That people would gamble for his garments 6. That he be crucified with the transgressors.. just to name a few. ALL of this was prophesied over 500 years before He was even born! How would they know this? Crucifixions didn't even happen during the time this was prophesied....

Confirmation that God, NOT science, created us.


Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, described the eye as one of the greatest challenges to his evolutionary theory. In his book On the Origin of Species, he admitted, "To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances... could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree."

  • The human eye possesses 130 million light-sensitive rods and cones that convert light into chemical impulses. These signals travel at a rate of a billion per second to the brain. How could so many intricate components independently evolve to work together perfectly when, if a single component did not function perfectly, nothing could work at all? So for all of you who think we were created by atoms and cells, your telling me one day a single cell formed this one tiny little intricate part of the human species.. even Charles Darwin says that couldn’t be true.
  • The theory of evolution cannot explain why we pursue intangibles like beauty and higher spiritual yearnings. Our minds are far too complex to have arisen passively or accidentally.
