jane austen

i just finished watching Becoming Jane.
it was so lovely. i always enjoy jane austen's writings ..
plus, i am such a fool for james mcavoy.

my weak moment was when he told her ..
"I am yours, Jane. I am yours, heart and soul."

ah .. one day ..


i do not want to go to work tomorrow.
i would much rather ....
well, alot of things.

longing

every morning when i rise, i feel it.
everytime i sing, it is there.
when i see the fruit of other believers' faith, it rises within me.

it's indescribable, and beautiful, and terrifying.
i may never understand it fully.
until i see His face ...


i don't think i have ever longed for the heart of my Maker, more than right now.
i'm at such a place in life where i feel like time is racing by, but standing still.
i'm not sure where to place my foot for the next step, or where exactly that next step will take me. but, my heart is at peace in His hand.

His fingerprints on my life have never been more visible.
i know who i am, because of who created me.
and it has nothing to do with my gifts, talents, or abilities ..
and everything to do with my heart.
He is in love with me.
and i will not find love like this in anyone on earth.

finding our identity/affirmation in who created us is vital to our heart's health.
why would we seek affirmation from screwed up people like us? haha ..

read "Searching for God Knows What" by Donald Miller.
i just read it for the second time and it gripped me again.
plus he is quite the cynical writer .. you will laugh. out loud.
scout's honor.


thats all for now ..

oh yeah, i went to the Call this weekend.
it was powerful. and beautiful.
pictures to come ...
