relationships, we find out what love is.<br />through relationships, we understand who jesus is.<br />and in the same way,<br />relationships that are broken can drive us away<br />from love & jesus.<br />we were made to belong.<br />we were made for fellowship<br />for unity<br />for intimacy<br />for community.<br />everywhere you look -<br />people are struggling to fit in, to be a 'part'.<br />they want to be understood, accepted, and <span style="font-weight:bold;">loved despite</span>.<br /><br />of course, there are those who claim to need no one,<br />proclaiming and maintaing they are just fine on their own.<br />these are the ones who keep everyone at a distance...<br />never for one moment allowing their guard down...<br />preferring the solitude of their own company.<br />yet their quality of life, <br />the quality of their relationships are so poor -<br />you can always look past <br />and understand a moment<br />or several<br />that pushed them past the vulnerability that relationships require,<br />to a <span style="font-weight:bold;">hardening of the heart</span>.<br />they still need community.relationships.love.<br />but they can no longer afford the pain those may bring.<br /><br />others still go to the opposite extreme.<br />they look for love <br />anywhere.everywhere.<br />these are the girls who who give their body for love<br />and the boys who look at numbers to feel worthy.<br />these girls are desperate for attention,<br />and are thankful at any man who looks their way.<br />these boys jump from girl to girl to girl,<br />never committing, always using words to obtain,<br />and walking away with their sense of accomplishment.<br />in the morning,<br />these souls are the same.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">empty</span>.<br />lo<span style="font-weight:bold;">nely.<br />devoid of peace</span>.<br />and so the cycle of searching begins again,<br />to drive those ugly emotions away.<br /><br />and here i sit.<br />vacillating between the two extremes.<br />looking for love in people,<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">knowing Love is all I need</span>....<br />desperate to be thought of a woman worth far more than rubies,<br />yet inconsistently portraying myself as another.<br />living a lifestyle of mediocrity...<br />unsure if I need, want, or even can change.<br />contemplating why certain things are deemed 'sinful'<br />when in reality, many more commonly accepted lifestyles,<br />are driving hearts away from jesus, <br />all the same,<br />if not more.<br /><br />i see revenge in the man who calls himself a follower of jesus.<br />i see intentional dishonesty in the respected pastor.<br />i see gossip in the leaders of christianity.<br />i see judgement by body of christ.<br /><br />i see compassion in the whore.<br />i see unconditional love in the drug dealer.<br />i see honesty in the lost soul.<br />i see jesus in the man who calls himself an atheist.<br /><br />what am i?<br />all things to all people?<br />i have so much love to give<br />i have so much to offer.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">we*those* </span><br />are so much more than we believe<br />so much more than we have allowed.<br />my heart breaks for <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">we*those*</span><br />who fall to these extremes of searching<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">what we were made for</span><br />in everywhere it is not.<br /><br />that boy...<br />kind<br />giving<br />funny<br />hopefully<br />intelligent<br />a leader....<br />scared<br />alone<br />unsure.<br />he will become the man god created him to be.<br />i have to believe the lord will not forsake him.<br />i have to believe the lord has a plan for such a unique boy as this.<br /><br />that girl...<br />loving<br />caring<br />enduring<br />trusting<br />loyal<br />patient....<br />scared<br />alone<br />unsure.<br />she will be a great woman of god.<br />i have to believe the lord will redeem her.<br />i have to believe the lord will heal her hurt,<br />and bring her the peace she has been searching for.<br /><br /><br />i am beyond grateful for those people in my life<br />who have taken the time to <br />know<br />believe<br />understand<br />hope<br />trust<br />pray for<br />and love<br />me. <br />in my sin.<br />in my glory.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">in weakness.<br />in my strength.</span><br /><br /><br />the lord will not forget his covenenant.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">he will not abandon us</span>.<br />through relationships<br />through community<br />may we grow<br />support<br />understand<br />and encourage.<br /><br />may this bring redemption.<br />may this bring fullness of life.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">may this bring knowledge of Love.</span>Mia

miss eloquence.<br />i was once surrounded by people who knew <br />beauty of the soul<br />power of words<br />passion of the heart.<br /><br />it is partly my fault,<br />i have chosen an accessible lifestyle,<br />one filled with praise for<br />stupidity<br />ignorance<br />crassness.<br /><br />my passion for reading<br />my passion for knowledge<br />my passion to seek the beauty of the world<br />has dimmed.<br />is it because I struggle with my relationship with the Lord?<br />or my relationships have morphed into <br />meaningless banter and trivial fellowship?<br />i want to go back...<br /><br />it breaks my heart,<br />because i don't know how to live for the lord<br />when I see so many around me falling away,<br />with the best intentions,<br />and the purest of Relationships.<br />It is so difficult to try....when I rarely see fruit.Mia

concept of time blows my mind.<br />it is crazy, how in one month, <br />so much has changed.<br />in one month,<br />i continue to learn the concept of contentment,<br />i understand happy is an emotion,<br />emotions are flighty,<br />peace is eternal.<br />i continue to learn trust is difficult,<br />and sometimes brutal,<br />but so necessary.<br />in a month,<br />i feel so much more stable than i have been in quite some time.<br />i'm also aware,<br />anything can change.<br />and in one month,<br />i will be 23.<br /><br />i am not where i thought i would be at 23.<br />but that is ok,<br />i am obviously where God wants me to be.<br />everything in life happens for a purpose,<br />HIS purpose,<br />and I am thankful I am not in control. <br /><br />time will continue to move<br />and things will continue to change<br />and i will continue to ponder<br />how this happened<br />when this happened<br />and i will rest in knowing He is in control.Mia
