29. Drink whiskey if you like whiskey. 30. Drink wine if you like wine. 31. Like what you like.

Bind my wandering heart to Thee.

I am impatient. And unsatisfied in love sometimes that my heart wanders. Even when I have everything I could ever possibly want in You, for some reason, my heart tends to wander. And boy do I wander -- Teach me to be faithful Lord. Teach me faithfulness. Even though I suck. And I fail. And I don't know what faithfulness even looks like. Teach me to be satisfied in love. Teach me to accept it as my own. Knowing that this is the love that I deserve and have always been worthy of. Make my heart whole, that I may love wholly.

Come and Go

They come then they go. Some are meant to only be seasons. Celebrate the time that is summer. But don't mourn once it's over. Summer must end for Autumn to begin. and every heart break, every change in the season I am confident will eventually lead me to you.

I will be still

and know You are God

if you appreciate what you have, you'll stop expecting things you don't have.

Morrie was given a grant to observe mental patients and record their treatments. While the idea seems common today, it was groundbreaking in the early fifties. Morrie saw patients who would scream all day. Patients who would cry all night. Patients soiling their underwear. Patients refusing to eat, having to be held down, medicated, fed intravenously.

One of the patients, a middle-aged woman, came out of her room every day and lay facedown on the tile floor. stayed there for hours, as doctors and nurses stepped around her. Morrie watched in horror. He took notes,which is what he was there to do. Every day, she did the same thing: came out in the morning, lay on the floor, stayed there until the evening, talking to no one, ignored by everyone. It saddened Morrie. He began to sit on the floor with her, even lay down alongside her, trying to draw her out of her misery. Eventually, he got her to sit up, and even to return to her room. What she mostly wanted, he learned, was the same thing many people want--someone to notice she was there.

Me: Crunchwrap supreme

#this made me laugh a lot longer than it should have

"Have I told you about the tension of opposites?" he says. The tension of opposites? "Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take any thing for granted. "A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle." Sounds like a wrestling match, I say. "A wrestling match." He laughs. "Yes, you could describe life that way." So which side wins, I ask? "Which side wins?" He smiles at me, the crinkled eyes, the crooked teeth. "Love wins. Love always wins."

"I'm still proud of you, my dear"

Revelations/Truths/Prophetic Words

Activity never changes identity, identity changes activity.

The more the fear of God drives you, the less you'll fear others

Don't heal spiritual problems with earthly solutions

We were designed to CRAVE. Craving is good. Craving is because we were made for FULFILLMENT.

I will not look back, there is nothing for me there.

Look how far we've come, my dear.
