thats when I need it

I think that this is exactly right. I think we rarely do it. I think we need to do it. I think it would make the biggest difference. I know thats when I need it.

Patience in faith

Lately I have been thinking about patience in faith. There will always be times when it is easy to have faith, easy to be optimistic about an unfortunate circumstance, or seem effortless to see the potential. There are more times when it is difficult to see anything positive, or when it seems impossible to hope at all. I think we need to keep our faith constant and exercise our ability to choose that, during the more strenuous times alongside the easier times. When you are persistent in faith, there are good results every time. We are just too impatient to see that.

Belief

" In order to win that which is big, you must first win that which is small

Stay behind and get ahead. Detach and become. Let go of all and you will be full. Let go of all and you will be full... the good is like water that nourishes without trying.... in thinking keep to simple, in conflict be fair... don’t compare or compete simply be yourself

in order to win that which is great, you must first win that which is small"


I'm in love with these words . There is a power to them. Almost hard to explain with words because that is exactly what is so peaceful about it. I have always took great notice to how words can be put together so perfectly to create such power. Yet you can rearrange these same words to contain no magic at all. Those words touch the soul, and creates clear understanding of something so complex.

Rapture

We are so excited to share our perception of the world through pictures. The little things around us are enchanting. Its capturing joy and magic. It took us so long to choose a name. We wanted it to fit. We wanted it to be perfect.

down in the dumps

so what about those times we are down? 

the times we are hopeless 

when we can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

im trying to have faith. 

but faith hasn't made my stomach stop aching.

hasn't stopped my tears from flowing.

hasn't lightened the darkest nights.

but im holding on.

so in the midst of sadness, choose happiness. 

tell your aching its not welcome anymore. 

tell your tears that you need to save them for another time.

and chase those dark nights out with the light of hope.

most importantly hold on.

because one day, faith will ease your fight.

Sometimes people let you down, or you have an unfortunate circumstance come along that wasn't in your plan.  Sometimes you feel completely lost, like you'll never find your way back.  And maybe you don't even want to at that moment.   Time heals a lot. I used to hate hearing that when I was upset. Still do. But it doesn't change that it is true.   That leaves a gap between your circumstance and being all better.  Well the gap is there but what you do with it is entirely up to you.   You can choose. You're in charge.  Don't be held captive from your emotions.  Exercise your freedom, and CHOOSE. 

In a nice way

You can be honest in a nice way.

Say how you feel in a nice way.

Let someone know they hurt you; in a nice way.

Why do you feel the need to be right? Why do you feel the need to prove a point. Why do you feel the need to be blunt?

People are important. They need to be nurtured and cared for. Listened to and loved. Being right, or prideful should never be at the expense of another. Do you agree? Is being prideful , or proving your point worth making someone feel little even if in fact you are correct? And when you act as such, what does it say about yourself. Surely it reflects on you more than the person you just proved wrong. When you are okay with yourself, there is no need to put another down, to be right, or use sharp tones in any circumstance.

Times I have found the most clarity was amongst chaos.

Sometimes it's when you are so focused on searching for it that you don't find it. Clarity can be a state of mind. A series of thoughts that can produce peace, when and where ever you want.
