“Beyond the Sun…”
There comes moments when you must look beyond what you see in front of you. To some you see the sun rising with a glare on the water. Others see the shadow of the trees. Some see the whole picture. None of these points of view are wrong. What if there is more to what you see in your daily life. When I see this picture it shows me how a simple morning scenery can prove how magnificent this world truely is. Ya there is a lot of evil in the world and a lot of problems, but if you loose sight what what’s true and beautiful then all you can focus on is the small pictures. See the magnificent in life and use that to motivate you to become greater. To be more than what is in front of you.
From Hot to Cold
Most seasons of change comes along with symptoms of pain: flue,allergies, fever, ect. That is merely your physical body portraying internal sickness. Some hate the change but embrace the season, and some love the change but wish for the past season to stay. Change is inevitable, it’s how you adapt that makes the difference. You don’t wear summer clothes in the winter, nor winter clothes for the summer. Instead you clothe yourself for the season you are in while remaining the same underneath. Just because you adapt to the new season does not mean you didn’t enjoy the one before. It doesn’t mean you didn’t create great memories with the people around you.
I guess what I’m saying is I’m grateful for the relationships that I have had and will continue to have-God willing. It will be rough living in the unknown, and there will probably be some “fevers”, but I embrace the change and season. I look forward while remembering back to push through the season of new.
It’s very hard to come to this point. I have debated over and over within myself. Time always seems to slip away from us, leaving smiles, tears, and scratches. I have truly been blessed with great friends in my life. Although some relationships in my life have not met another each one that I have had, has given a part of life to me. See no one truly wants to show all of themselves to someone unless you are married, and even still in some marriages there are dark shadows that are left alone. It’s not that my life is sketchy as most of you come to conclude in your minds, it’s just all of you hold a part of me and it is only until the pieces come together will it make a whole. Some have seen the great, while others the good, some the bad, but only few have seen the dark within. Honestly if you have seen the dark parts of who I am then you are truly blessed. See everyone walks around with a smile but you only really meet someone until you have seen the ugly. The part of them broken, desperate, hungry, furious, lonely. I believe that is when someone’s true character comes out. There are some incidences where in the dark times you are not yourself, and that should be accounted for. Everyone has those moments when something just snaps and takes them over.( even if it is self inflicted). I guess what I’m trying to say is don’t be upset if you feel as though you never understood me, you understood what I showed you. To all the relationships I have had my one thing I had in common was “it was about you(dark), not what everyone else sees.” love you all and I will greatly miss everyone.
Day of the Unknown
Tortured by the thought of the your arrival. Not knowing when my time will come. Some days I feel as though you have no rule while others I’m captured and consumed by the thought of your presence. You are constantly around awaiting the next person to take and all the while your presence either sends me into a state of panic or motivation! What shall then I do with this life? How much more can I look at the natural beauty all around. At least there are some peace around your presence can not affect. While it seems your presence takes another Spirit renews. Believing this with all my heart, I do not know to reject your presence or embrace it with a smile. My mind is split in two by these thoughts. At one point or another I will encounter your presence the only question is will my life be complete before our appointment? I do hope so for it would be a sad day to know I could not make the best of things. My hope is only in the true Spirit, knowing He will help me through your presence death.
Hurricane Affects
There are many times in life when we go through very dark patches. It feels as though we are in the middle of a hurricane thunderstorm and all the debris is flying in our direction. Most of us panic and become frightened, not knowing where to turn to for safety. In the panic we shut down and stay where we are, we just close our eyes and hope the sun comes back out. I can say my life for the month has felt like this. It seemed as though ever little thing piled up and came flying at me, so I shut down and did what I know to do. Not everyone responds the same in dark times, but it is in those moments when our inner core is tested and shaped, forming us to be the person left standing. I can say I learned that when crap comes flying at you, you can’t just stay there and hope the sun comes back out. You have to find refuge/shelter, otherwise you are going to get bruised up or have a limb severed. When you close your eyes you can’t see the person next to you trying to tell you to get out the storm. You don’t see the hand reaching out of the heavens to offer comfort. Open your eyes to the things unseen and know there is hope in the Father. He reaches out to all who put their trust in Him.
What is it that makes a person stop in life? What makes him sit back and analyze what’s really going on inside? Today was one of those sudden stops for me. I began to see how fragile and precious each breath of life is. I learned how each moment is a gift to be cherished and loved. You never know when you will not get to see that person you are standing next to again, it could their last or yours. Don’t go by in life moving from one thing to the next like a machine. You are a human being who is to experience life with love, with people, with gratitude. If there is one thing I learned from this great person it’s too enjoy life with passion for others. To always see the joy and to show others when they can’t. It was an honor to have known you Jordan, I’m glad I had an opportunity to be around you and work beside you, to see your heart. Whether you knew it or not, you impacted others greatly and me.
Don’t let it take you loosing someone to make the sudden stop. Tell the people around you how much they mean to you.

Fun
Why is it that people mistake growing up for sacrificing their spirit of fun and spontaneity. I think you can be mature and still have a childlike spirit. Why do you have to take everything so serious and make things critical? Yeah there might be problems around and chaos but that doesn’t mean you have to loose the fun in life. I challenge you to do something you miss doing like doing a cart will randomly, skip along, or sing aloud. Just do something to give you that spark again. I dare you to rise up and go beyond the normal.
You must treat yourself like a criminal, and put self to death every day
The Main Character
How many times do we go about life forgeting God in everything. It’s not till we have a need for God that we remember him. Do u want someone to do that to you, to just remember you when they need you? Of course not.
God is the main character of the movie. How many times do we try to steal the show from God. By showing ourself instead of the one who put is in the movie. We are just characters within the movie to build up the main character.
It’s in the midst of things when the storms raging and things seems as though the sea is about to take our ship down that we worship the one who put us on the boat. It is then that our sea begins to calm down. Remeber that we go through rough times to bring the glory back to God.
Practical Application: Next time we feel our sea is to great, praise God and worship Him in the midst of your storm, and He will calm your raging sea.
You know,times changes. And we need to change as well.
