Learning to Love Life

Every star in the sky...
is special.
Every cloud against the blue...
is unique.

Opening eyes to life.

Every blade of grass...
is creative.
Every flower on the path...
is paint.

Learning to find the gifts in life.

Every bright color...
is vibrant.
Every small sound...
is astonishing.

Learning to listen to life.

Every wisp of breeze...
is restful.
Every ray of sun...
is exhilarating.

Learning to drink in life.

Every friends hug...
is healing.
Every stupid joke...
is refreshing.

Learning to live in the arms of life.

Every new and old tear...
is significant.
Every cool rain drop...
is cleansing.

Learning to let go of life.

Every cute shoe...
is exciting.
Every free gift...
is fulfilling.

Learning to accept life.

Every dance in the sunny rain...
is eliminating.
Every helping hand...
is promising.

Learning to BE life!

Hello again my Darling,

Wow. Just wow. Sounds like you're starting to use your senses again. Not the kind of "common/mind sense," but you're starting to feel more! Loosing that sense of numbness that helps people get through hard times just because it's easier to deal with than the emotional roller coaster. Learning to take it all in, and take nothing for granted...you're so strong. Simply blowing me away by how amazing you are! It never fails. Let it all seep in, I bet it feels great! :)

Sarah! I love your poem, a lot. Sometimes the littlest things can mean so much. (Especially wearing cute shoes on a bad day. There is a reason that is my motto for life. ;-)) Learn to appreciate each and every piece of God's creation. There is so much beauty and originality, and that is something that I know you love to find and observe. You mean so much to me and I love seeing you happy over the what some would call the silliest things. But that doesn't matter right? I see your appreciation as a manifestation of the love and joy God has placed in your heart. You are very special that way and I love it. :-) I love you darling!

1 chorenhians 10:31 What ever you do, do it for the glory of GOD. I put this verse up on my mirror in the bath room so I can read it every morning. I have to be reminded all day every day that it's not about me it's about God, and it being about God means it's about the people around us. Today I reallllllly wanted to sleep in and NOT GO TO CHURCH, while I know God would still love me I went anyways and now I'm so glad I did. Our paster used a quote that said, "Live fully, Love wastefully." (sarah isn't smart enough to rember who said it.) When we put these two thoughts together we can truly learn to live like Christ and live the life that Christians are supposed to. I wrote a persuasive speech this year that is on a really hard issue for a lot of conservitive Christans to agree with. I have felt ever since summer that I was supossed to write it and give it at these tournoments. It's really hard for me because I'm really competitive.... that...

David.... Tehehe

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears. And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears. Get over your hill and see what you find there, With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair. ~Momford and Sons (After The Storm) I love this song. It is word for word where I feel like I am in my life right now. I have had many fears, shed thousands of tears (yes I cry), more than one broken heart. Now I'm trying to climb the hills and mountains of fears and temptations that try to over shadow me. Grace for My Man, being hurt deeply doesn't make it easy to leave room for anything less than perfection and that is not fair. And.... Well I'm still a kid at heart and I love flowers in my hair... and he likes flowers in my hair too ;) I figure if anyone reads this they deserve to know about this huge part of my life. :) I could go on and on about him and who he is... but seeing as this is my blog I think I shall be selfish and tell ho...

Sickfulness

Ok guys! Wow so starting with the last tournament, Jennie broke her ankle, Caleb had appendicitis, And I was drugged up on Advil and what not the whole tournament, running about 101.5 fever. Ya it wasn't the best time ever.... we all pushed through this and other things.... for absolutely nothing. A few of our team mates did well and we were seriously over joyed for them! it was so awesome to see them happy and doing well! Josh did great, Mr Zach did pretty good, and Ash did good with her stuff :) So the whole time we were there from the moment we walked in the door Amber and I were told that our duo was something amazing, good luck, And that we were going to win. It was weird I didn't know half these people!!!! lol it was kinda cool... but it did put a lot of pressure on us to win. Ya we didn't even break. *sigh* it was for a lot of reasons.... but I watched some of the breaking duos.... and ya... not so hott..... So I come home like totally Sick and drop pratically at the...
