Stop asking if I'm alright. Seriously, now.

Wish you could only see,
I got an I <3 ? written on the back of my hand.

how else could I put it? <3

I'll take this moment in time, and treasure every minute.
It may last. It might not.
But it's beautiful. :)

“If you were hit by a truck, and you were lying out there in that gutter, dyin', and you had time to sing ONE song, one song that would let God know what you felt about your time here on Earth. One song that would sum you up. That’s the type of song that truly saves people." -Walk the Line

Sometimes I need to stop. Just stop. Take a look around. Feel the years behind me. Anticipate the years ahead. Bask in the memories that took me higher than the sky and smudge out the memories that destroy my view of who I am. Sometimes I need to go. Just go. Get off the couch, get off the computer, and get into the magic of fresh cut flowers sweet rain and pages of words created with a pen. Perfection isn't impossible. It just takes a lot of looking for. Time is generous while it's selfish. If you can see it rushing towards you, catch it, and run closer. It's precious. :)

like clock-ridden hands i'd come around

I'm going crazy.
Who would've though it'd be so much fun! :D There are so many things I am confused about. And I'm realizing all of these choices that I'm going to have to be making sooner than I want to have to. I've got oodles of sticky notes filled with things I have to do just today. But hey, you know what? I'm fifteen. I'm not over the hill yet. :P I've got time. Precious time. I don't want it to pass me by. There's a brighter bright on the other side.

you were blind to me, now I'm blind to you

You left, so now when you come back again, you expect me to act the same.
I'm so glad I don't have to anymore. :)
Life is good to me.

like the rain, I have fallen for you

Nothing can compare.
Really.
Think about it.
Is there anything more rare?
Is there anything more sincere?
Is there anything happier?
Is there any place cozier?
Are there any words simpler?
Is there any taste sweeter?
Is there anyone luckier?

Nothing can compare.

John Bytheway said...

Don't let anyone look down on you because you're young.

Be that example. Be that ripple in the water. You never know what will happen.

Take the high ground.

Great minds talk about ideas.

"I'm small I know, but where ever I go the grass grows greener still"

Charity is:
<3 for Christ
<3 from Christ
<3 like Christ

Stand tall enough to see over the walls of the compartments we shove ourselves into.

If you are not one, you are not mine.

There is a light in your eyes. Keep your eyes bright. Stay righteous.

When you are weak, will your friends take you to Christ?

Are you a friend who will bring friends to Christ?

It takes one solitary light to guide a thousand ships at night.

Tithing, and missions. People can't believe we do them. They can't wrap their minds around that kind of faith.

Don't be embarrassed to be awesome. XD

We can do this.

Remember the power of friends. Choose friends who lift you.

Be an example of the believers. In word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.

Early one morning, a few teens in Connecticut were headed to their Early-morning Seminary class and a police officer on patrol pulled them over because teens out while it is still dark seemed suspicious. He asked them, "Where are you headed?" When they replied, "Church." He laughed. The Youth said, "Come with us, and see." The cop followed them and sure enough, they went to Seminary. He sat through the lesson and came back the next day. :P

Yay for bright eyes. Yay for Seminary. Yay for John Bytheway.

quite safely dangling off the edge

Love lift me up,
I'd been flying solo.
Take me higher,
And love don't let up.
Cuz when all is said and done
We're just desire.
Can't you see?
You're the dream I'm sleeping for
You're the danger I adore
You're the pain I'm aching for

Keep me safe.
This is where I wanna be
To feel you crashing over me.
I wanna love you recklessly
until I don't need to dream.
Keep me safe.
Let heaven fall on me
There's nowhere else I wanna be
Your love is all I need
Let your heaven fall on me.

How did you know?
How'd you reach me
through these walls I've been climbing?
And now does it show?
Cuz I can see it on your face
When you're blinding me,
lighting me up.

And I finally see,
We've been falling like the rain
We've been dying to breathe again
Had to lose so we could win.

So keep me safe.

just a number always counting down to a new start

What makes life worth living?
My first thought would be hot chocolate and new shoes. :)
But then if I prod a little deeper, I think of things like Ruthie Quiatchon. Clean houses. Pictures. Music. Love. Laughing. Feeling. Flying. Doing amazing stuff. :D

May I say? I love life. Sometimes it takes life being good to you for you to realize that you love it. But yay! I'm on top of the world. :)

I thought it was "everyone who didn't care about me enough"'s fault. I thought they were horrible to me. But now that I'm in control, those people don't even matter anymore. They are just missing out on knowing me. :D Because I love life, and I'm awesome. That wasn't ever good enough before, but now it is. :)

Someone tell me to stop.
No wait.
Please don't.

I'm silly. 8)
