| I am left awake with thoughts of dreams and memories past. what happened to innocence? I had such dreams then. Those feelings and histories seem as though they are ghosts and shadows of another's past haunting my mind. Where is the girl I once loved true? She is gone away and no more to be seen for I have forgot pledge I once swore. That day it was broke she ran from me and her mouth had spoke: Never more never more- | | |
| Wow, it´s been a long, crazy ride. but, now we´re back to where it all started. shoot, I myself have been through Myspace, Facebook and something called Virb(that one was short lived). But, now wé´ve returned to the thing that started it all. I remember when I was first invited to this thing..............................................................................................................OH, sorry, bit of a daydream going on. So, I´m sitting here in Bolivia..........just chillin´. What more can I say?.......I got nothin´ Viva la revolution....Viva la resistance!! | | |
| a couple days ago I went to see the new Steve Carell movie "Dan in real
life" in my opinion it really wasn't that great of a movie, it was kind
of funny but only that dry kind of family funny. anyway, the reason i
bring up that movie is because, in it Carell's teenage daughter in the
movie is constantly fighting with him about kept her away from her
"boyfriend" whom she proclaims to "love" which she just so happened to
find out in a matter of days(side note- with teenage emotions and
puberty and a million other reasons it is really best not to get too
serious with anyone whether you're dating or whatever, it's just best,
because every time you date or are in a relationship with someone when
you're a teenager especially, you have to be sure of their intentions
before you go around saying how much you love this person and then
after they've made out with you a few times they break up with you for
someone they find to be more attractive. trust me, it'll save you a lot
of heart ache) anyways, eventually somewhere along the movie Carell has
a talk with this guy her daughter "loves" and Carell says; "do you
really think you know what love is? do you really think you love my
daughter?" and the daughter's boyfriend say; "love isn't a feeling,
it's an ability."
God says in the bible how we should love one
another, that his love endures forever, how we are saved in his
unfailing love, and that if you are saved and you abide by his law
surely goodness and love will follow you all of the day of your life
and how you will dwell in the house of the lord forever. but, it also
says in the bible how we as humans are incapable of true love. that's
where Jesus comes in; because we are incapable of love and unable to
keep the law of God we are damned, right? wrong. for God so loved us
the world which he created that he sent his only son, that whom so ever
believes in his son, shall not die, but have everlasting life.
Love certainly is an ability, it's an ability that we are unable to
perform. God is love. if we believe in Jesus and in the truth he tells
we will have direct communication with God, the source of all love and
all things good and beautiful. you have to have communication with God,
you have to be in a "love-triangle" with God, yourself and whoever
you're dating/in a relationship with to know whether or not there's
actually any love between you.
so, in conclusion to the "ability" part, yes, love is an ability, an ability that we as humans are incapable of without God.
When someone does something nice for you, it makes you feel good,
right? when you do something for someone else that makes them feel
better, it makes you feel better, right? basically, what I'm trying to
get across is that God is in the good things, he's in you, he's flowing
his love through you when you do those things or when those things are
done for you. how it works is God sends us with his love to love others
so that they might feel loved so that they can complete the cycle and
love other around them. the bible says the word love over 300 times, it
says the word love more times than it say the word God. i believe it's
because God is love. when you feel good after being nice to some or
after having someone be nice to you, you feel good because you feel God
using you, you feel God's love and his purpose being fulfilled.
now, to the darker side: when someone goes away to minister somewhere
else away from everything they know, someone that you've known for
years, someone that you thought would be around forever, it hurts a
lot, it's painful to talk about, it's hard not to cry for ten seconds,
right?
when you go away and have to say goodbye to people that
God has placed in your life, people that you love and would do
absolutely anything for, it really hurts, doesn't it? in fact it starts
to hurt so much that you begin to wonder if you're doing the right
thing, right?
in regards to the first scenario, once you've thought
it out and looked past the tears falling from your eyes you realize
that that person is moving forward and God is calling him to love which
should make you feel better(the hurt is always going to be there, i'm
not going to lie. it doesn't have to go away, the scars we carry make
us who we are and make us stronger, it's okay to miss someone, what you
have to remember is that their getting out of their comfort zone and
reaching out to spread God's love and make things better where ever
their going to) but, God has a purpose for everything, in other words,
everything happens for a reason.
second scenario, when God takes
you away and has you leave behind the only home you've ever known, sure
it hurts, but you can take comfort in the fact that the love,
friendship and devotion you've shown to that home and those friends has
made an amazing difference in their lives and has touched them and
inspired them and built them up as strong believers in Jesus. and in
all of this is God comforting you with a blanket of his love. God is
making you FEEL better.
so, in the good and in the bad God is there, and where God is his love will also be.
therefore, in conclusion God is love, no one can get to the father
except through the son, you are in able to perform love without God,
you feel love in the good things around you, it's okay to hurt and miss
someone. love is an ability, and love is also a feeling.
i hope that some sense was made.
peace out,
sincerely,
-Timm D.

| here and now i am going to be completely serious. 'casue i've been thinking about life a whole stinkin' lot. I suppose that's not really out of the norm, but, i feel that what i've been thinking about needs to be said.
as most of you know i spend my afternoons writing songs and practicing the songs we play on wednesdays. and as few of you know about a year and a half ago i could barely play the guitar at all. back then i barely knew anything about music in general. but, it just goes to show you that with every chord you strum every note you sing you progress a little more. but, maybe music's not your thing maybe you paint or write or dance. whatever it is that you do: never give up. not because people will start calling you a quiter or some crap like that. but, rather because if life was simple, then there wouldn't be much use to living it. and that is an incouraging thought.
Someone once said to me to "just start writing songs and just join the choir and you'll find that you'll get better as you go along" he said that when he first started writing songs that his songs were really lame and stupid. and the reason that was an super incouraging thought for me was because i respected him and his music more than anyone elses' and that's still true to this day. and the name of that guy was Barren wester. a few of you know of him and to those of you who don't you don't know what you're missing. if you like you can check out his music on his myspace it's on the last page of my friends list.
I don't really know why i had to post this, but, if this in some way helped you with whatever, then that's enough for me. and if you need a talk know that i'm here for you if you should need someone to talk to. | | |
