Passions, Defined. a poem.

Passions, Defined.

“We should employ our passions in the service of life, not spend life in the service of our passions”–Richard Steele

Of course, Passion was given

To the human race for a

Reason.

But Why?

Didn’t He know that this

“Gift” would get in the way

Of.. well.. Everything?!

He must have known.

Then, of course, everyone

Has their own passion.

Farmers, Farming.

Girls, Chocolate.

Christians, Jesus.

That’s it.

Passion can be dangerous,

Yes,

BUT if a human had no passion

How could we Love the Lord

To the Fullest of our Being?!

Beyond that,

He had blessed us

With Passion

That will help His children

Go through life and love what they do.

Passion

Should not rule us.

The One who gifted

Us with it should

Take over everything.

My Ever Changing Face, by C.A

Here I sit, on the mantle, All day, everyday.
I stare at you
My expression constantly Changing, and yet you Rarely notice.

But Then!
Every so often Throughout my day You look at my Face. Sometimes you look Bored,
Startled,
Happy,
Confused.

But never once do you Ask me how
I
Feel.

I try not to take it personally. I continue to try to please you, Changing my expression.

But there are times
When I just can’t stand it Anymore.
So I take the opportunity When it storms
To stop my ever changing face And force you to feel like I do.

Annoyed.

when it rains, blessings pour.

I am sitting in Prince Street Cafe, drinking coffee, and doing homework. (well, and writing this blog post). The weather outside the window I'm sitting in is dreary-- rainy, windy, grey.

I've been thinking about how miserable this weather is and how it makes doing homework so much more unbearable. ugh.

Prince Street is incredibly cozy right now, though, because of this weather. And because I'm nice and warm and cozified, I'm struck with the reality of my complaining spirit. Why should I complain about how awful the weather is? Why should I criticize what God has made? These thoughts leave me with the realization of what a blessing rain actually is.

Rain brings new life! Every spring. It rains and green things grow. If we did not have rain we would be a desert land. What a blessing! I know I for one love green. So why am I complaining when this rain will some day bring new life?! I am also struck with the promise that God will never destroy the earth with flood again. What a promise!

This rain reminds me of the Promises God has given me {us} and the blessings he showers upon me {us} every single day. Who am I to complain?

Thank you Lord for the rain.

and now..

Hello Fall. I'm so glad you're here.

New York Style Inspiration Board

It's been a rainy, dreary start to October. Not exactly the way I was picturing my fall to be, but I guess I can't really pick. Anywhoo I was just thinking about how much I want to move to New York City {and let me tell you, my want = a Lot} and I was looking at my pinterest {you should totally follow me! it's kind of my obsession right now} and I came up with this inspiration board for the week.

I think this outfit is perfectly classy yet really fun at the same time. Exactly for New York! Ha! Hopefully this brightens your day where ever you are, like it has for me :)

Have a good monday!
