"A healthy relationship requires two healthy and whole people." I love how she outlines the truth about finding love in this entry. |

Just thinking... by

| comment:
"I guess my whole point of that was that I could see how much our parents affect us as adults. I actually find it frightening, especially when I find myself even now being like my parents. When I get married and perhaps have children I don't want them to feel like I do at times." You wouldn't normally expect a 13-year-old to notice these things. |

Grace by

|
| comment:
"It's not that I'm trying to de-value sin. Wrong things are still wrong... but I've realized it's difficult to even begin to understand grace while I still subconsciously hold onto the idea that there are wrong things I 'couldn't do.' Or even wouldn't do... as long as I have that attitude, I can't understand grace, because I could and would do anything sinful if it wasn't for that grace." |

What my cat and I thought we wanted by

| comment:
"The point is, it's hard to be thankful for the times that my beelines for the door have been blocked. But even though I'm foolish, and, like my cat, can only perceive the joys of freedom because I don't understand the pains that can come with it, I realize I need to be thankful for what I don't have - and believe that there's a very good reason for my not getting it right now." |

Sweet Noodle Pop? by

| comment:
"That, in turn, having been said, my college is dumb. I spent an hour scheduling, running back and forth between buildings, looking for the right PIN to register my new classes. I always have one ankle that hurts if I run too much, and if feels like it's swollen and nasty. My bathroom ceiling is leaking (as if the shower and sink weren't enough). Leaking brown water of all things. So. Who's up for transfer?"But I'm taking a Studio Art and Irish Lit. Exciting! And, well, some general education, but that goes without saying. Being free of theatre is... erm... liberating."Another addition to my Dummy's Guide to Redundancy for Dummies." -LOLOL!!! Amanda, you crack me up! |

Where'd all the cooties go? by
araquen
|
| comment:
"But as much as I sit here saying I hate them having boyfriends, for some reason I want the same thing. I don't want to want the same thing [right now], but I do. Maybe someday, but I don't want these feelings now. I don't know. Thinking about this always confuses me more than I was before I started. I need to go pray." -This is why I call her my little sister. :) |

When your brain was washed, did you have it waxed, too? by
i-c-dumppl
|
| comment:
"I love a good pair of tweezers. Or purse-sized tissue containers. Especially during allergy season! And exclamation points! Lots and lots of exclamation points! See, in Disraeli's time, they used exclamation points far more often than we. Example: "O! may I join the choir invisible?" See, we'd write, "Oh, can I join the invisible chorus?"
You can, but you may not!
See? And exclamation! Brilliant! I'm menstrual!" |

Hold Me Tight, God by
eowynne
|
| comment:
"Whereas the Catholics and Orthodox view God as majestic, awesome and powerful, the Protestants like to call Jesus our 'homeboy.' Yikes!...The Catholics and Orthodox also differ (slightly) in their attitudes towards God, but each church has a great amount of respect and awe for God that the Protestants cannot even approach. They may sometimes miss the intimate relationship with the Godhead that we're allowed, but the Protestants forget that God is not just their friend." Ouch! But she's right on the money. |

reminders by

|
| comment:
"That is the most important thing that needs to be drilled into our heads as men. The knowledge of the duty to give back in humble adoration and thanksgiving all of what God has given to us to love. To protect. To cherish. The most important of which is our relationships with our sisters in the Lord." |

Useless ramblings by

| comment:
"the dumpER tells the dumpEE that they think it's better if each of them start seeing other people. Now, I see other people every day. In the cars on the way to work, in the grocery store...by 'seeing other people', the DumpEE really means: 'I've seen another hunk of burning love on the other side of the fence, and since the grass always looks much greener where the septic system lies, I'm gonna head on over there and try my luck!'" |

And a Fond Hurrah to Ephemera by
caughtpurity
|
| comment:
"I have, through my wild and impulsive nature, discovered by seeming accidents the pleasures of God's great Love eternal, and found its waking beams to be the crown of all things Holy. I have also found in its wake the sorrow of loss, being tossed into the uttermost darkness of winter until my heart was buried among so many autumn leaves." |

Temporary insanity by

|
| comment:
"I just feel like I can't do things the traditional, "professional" way. Well, I could if I wanted it badly enough, but I just don't. That's not what I want out of life. It's not even a part of my nature. I'm just not cut out to have some huge career and keep fighting for something bigger and better and higher paying." |

A Moment of Clarity by
brdwaybebe
|
| comment:
"The problem is, people want to not be alone and it's for the wrong reason, and the problem with that is they will never be satisfied. They will spend their lives in want, in disappointment, looking for that special man or woman who is going to complete them, when the God was there all along waiting to be the fulfillment thet needed all along... God help me remember that." |

Do you know what you are getting yourself into? by
mildchild
|
| comment:
"I remember feeling unlovable before I fell deeply in love with Jesus. He saved me from my pain. I've been claiming to be a Christian for about five years but faith didn't become real until I gave my life to the Man who gave His for me. I had so much pain from past hurts that I hadn't given up. I would punish myself as if every one of them would have been prevented if I was something more--if I was smarter, if I was prettier, if I was thinner, if I was nicer, if I was more aggressive, or maybe if I was just perfect, which is comeletely out of my reach. That punishment ended when I got deep with God." -WOW. How many girls need to hear this? |

Wake up people! by

| comment:
"Hope is not what you expect; it is what you would never dream. It is a wild, improbable tale with a pinch-me-I'm-dreaming ending. It's Abraham adjusting his bifocals so he can see not his grandson, but his son. It's Moses standing in the promised land not with Aaron or Miriam at his side, but with Elijah and the transfigured Christ. It's Zechariah left speechless at the sight of his wife Elizabeth, gray-headed and pregnant. And it is the two Emmaus-bound pilgrims reaching out to take a piece of bread only to see that the hands from which it is offered are pierced." |
