sometimes, i get so caught up in what's been done to me (or what i think has been done to me) that i refuse to see what i'm doing to people.  it's a horrible and vicious cycle and as your friend, i highly recommend against it.  however, i'm proud to know there are people in my life who won't give up on me and who, instead, choose to be patient with me. thus, in effect, whatever the situation is and may be, i am always humbled in the end because people chose to thoroughly love me.  ...and...i am especially grateful for it.

i've always regarded myself to be a kind person, but when the opportunity arrived for me to really implement that kindness into practice - giving me the opportunity to solidify the integrity in my words: am i who i say i am and who i want to be? - i denied it...due to selfishness... 

i am really struggling with being generous with my heart and i can't pinpoint why.  but i'm not sure the reasons why matter anymore so i'm asking God to take me off my high horse and pave way for forgiveness in my heart so i can be at peace again.  pray with me; won't you?

my books are too heavy to pack all the way to DC, huh?

i'm thankful that God reminds me how kind people can be.

this is for you :

with most of life, you only get one chance ... because the instance you forego the opportunity, the circumstances are no longer the same. even if an opportunity re-presents itself, it is not the same one.  therefore, hold tightly to your trust and faith.  then, pray.  then, jump in with both feet cause i support your bravery. after all, the worst thing that can happen is that you'll get hurt. 

but no worries cause the hurt won't last.  nike and trust hongie.
