Finding the sense in the nonsense @blissyvee-blog - Tumblr Blog

A friend is someone who meets you in whatever season you are in, encourages you to chase after that dream, challenges you to be the best version of yourself, and to just love the unlovable.

The Simple, The Mocker and The Fool.

"The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps." -Proverbs 14:15

"The proud and arrogant person--"Mocker" is his name-- behaves with insolent fury." -Proverbs 21:24

"As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly." -Proverbs 26:11

----------------------------------------------------------------

How embarrassing not only to admit that I have fallen into all three stages throughout my life, but I can honestly say that my life can be well defined into these three categories. Reviewing the terrible trio, I've gotten an opportunity to reflect back on my life and I just simply can't ignore the fact of how unfailingly faithful God has been, even when I was not.

It makes me think about how quickly I dismiss the naive who lacks a sense of direction in their own lives, the hard headed folks who refuse to lend an ear to an offered word and the dreamers who live their lives on a wish. But, the truth of the matter is, I was once there..and truth be told, for a time too long.

Thank God for second chances.

I learned long ago not to impose anything onto anyone, no matter how true my intentions are. That’s the funny thing. The truer we believe in our intentions, the more justified we think our words are, the harder we push to get through to someone- convinced with the illusion that we have the ability to change someone and ready to swear that our wisdom holds power.

Too often, we fancy the idea of the superman complex, this unhealthy need of saving others. We try numerous things to nourish the less fortunate, to lend out a helping hand, to remedy brokenness, to spread words of wisdom and life changing advice. And as much as we offer, the outcome aren’t always favorable, and we find ourselves in constant disappoint. But why? Perhaps, there isn’t a need of saving. Perhaps, there isn’t a need of an intervention. Instead, maybe there’s just a lack of understanding of one’s definition of the situation.

Everyone just needs a friend, but that may just be the hardest thing to ask of someone.

I don't know about you, but autumn is a time when I fall back in love...with my first love, photography. --------------------------------------------------------------

Sobersided- adj: solemn or grave in disposition, attitude, character, etc. serious minded.

It has dawned to me recently how terribly homesick I am. But, no matter how much I know this isn't my home, I find myself making every corner I turn comfortable. I need more Jesus.

Borrowed Time

I feel like the days are just too long for people to endure, despite the fact that they might argue otherwise. Just feels like mornings are plagued with the walking dead while afternoons are operated with dutiful robots and by the end of the day, whatever is left of the day just feels like "borrowed" time.

Furthermore, when ambushed by the weekends, we feel compelled to force plans of the socialite, indulging into the patterns of what we believe to be the "norm". It just feels like everyone wants to be anything but themselves.

Like its own currency, time is never enough and always running out. I wish that I could just buy everyone a vacation- just a few days away- some time to call their own.

It'll be good for the soul, you know?

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings

The free bird leaps on the back of the wind and floats downstream till the current ends and dips his wings in the orange sun rays and dares to claim the sky. But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage can seldom see through his bars of rage his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings with fearful trill of the things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom The free bird thinks of another breeze an the trade winds soft through the sighing trees and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and he names the sky his own. But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom.
