Song Lyrics
You know, I’ve got this theory: There are two kinds of people in the world. There are lyric people and music people. You know, the lyrics people tend to be analytical. You know, all about the meaning of the song. They’re the ones you see with the CD insert out like five minutes after buying it, pouring over the lyrics, interpreting the hell out of everything. Then there’s the music people who could care less for the lyrics as long as it’s just got, like, a good beat and you could dance to it. I don’t know, sometimes it might be easier to be a music girl and not a lyric girl. But since I’m not, let me just say this: Sometimes things find you when you need them to find you. I believe that. And for me, it’s usually song lyrics. -OTH
Greatest Exception
To be loved for what one is, is the greatest exception. The great majority love in others only what they lend Him, their own selves, their version of Him.
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Right Here
River: You don’t think I do, but… I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much and…. some of it’s made up and some of it can’t be quantified and there’s secrets…
Simon: It’s okay.
River: But I understand. You gave up everything to find me, and you found me broken. It’s hard for you. You gave up everything you had.
Simon: Mei mei, everything I have is right here.
Simon: It’s okay.
River: But I understand. You gave up everything to find me, and you found me broken. It’s hard for you. You gave up everything you had.
Simon: Mei mei, everything I have is right here.

23
I have been waiting to turn 23 so I could relate to this song,haha. It is one of my favorites! :)
"Amazing still it seems
I'll be 23
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets."
"Amazing still it seems
I'll be 23
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets."

Complicated
"oh it's so confusing, i wish you'd just confess, but think of what i'd be losing if your isn't yes. oh i hate it cause i've waited so long for someone like you. oh what do i do...should i say it, should i tell you how i feel? oh i want you to know, but then again i don't. it's so complicated."

You God
"O God, You are my God-for You I long! For You my body yearns ; for You my soul thirsts, Like a land parched, lifeless and without water. So I look to You in the sanctuary to see Your power and glory. For Your love is better than life; my lips offer You worship! I will bless You as long as I live; I will life up my hands, calling on Your name. My soul shall savor the rich banquet of praise with joyous lips my mouth shall honor You! When I think of You upon my bed, through the night watches I will recall that You indeed are my help, and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy. My soul clings fast You You; Your right hand upholds me."
— Psalm 63: 2-9

Not Turning Back.
I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running and I’m not turning back. -Philippians 3:12-14

Crush
“I’ve got a mind boggling, sense numbing, heart pounding, stomach flipping, take my breath away, head over heels, knee shaking, daydreaming, butterfly fluttering, crush on you.”

His Love
“But the great thing to remember is that, though our feelings come and go, His love for us does not. It is not wearied by our sins, or our indifference; and, therefore, it is quite relentless in it’s determination that we shall be cured of those sins, at whatever cost to us, at whatever cost to Him.”

15 Signs that You're Meant to Be Together
1. You tell him things you don’t tell anyone else. We don’t mean blurting something out when you’re emotionally unstable, but the desire to tell him intimate details about your life means you trust him — a major component of successful long-term love.
2. You let her see you in moments of weakness. It’s easy to be happy with someone when you’re feeling good about life. But what about when you’re not doing so well? Do you want to see her when you’ve been denied a raise, or your cat died, or you had a plain old bad day? She should be a comfort during tough times, not a burden.
3. You respect him. You don’t want to change the essence of who he is. There may be stuff that irritates you in everyday life — he insists on wearing his favorite holey T-shirt, he eats sugar cereal for dinner, he still watches Saturday morning cartoons — but you like him, plain and simple.
4. You want him to meet your parents. You feel proud of him and you want to show him off — as opposed to feeling like you have to make excuses for him.
5. You can imagine a future together. You don’t have to practice writing your first name with his last name, but do you periodically let your mind wander to picture a life together? Is it amazing?
6. You’re not afraid to disagree with him. You know that even if you fight, he’ll listen to you and won’t brush you off. He takes you seriously, even when he thinks you’re wrong.
7. You want to work out your major differences. If you do have crucial differences that will impact your future together — different opinions about religion, money, or something else — you want to work them out with him, and you believe you can come to a conclusion that will satisfy both of you.
8. You laugh together. Laughter is one of life’s simplest pleasures — you should definitely be able to crack each other up.
9. You’re incredibly, utterly, surprisingly attracted to her. Physical chemistry is an undeniably important ingredient in a healthy relationship. And if she’s not a classic beauty or your usual “type”? Even more reason to think she’s the one.
10. It’s OK to be quiet around her. You don’t feel like you have to fill the space between you with chatter or other interaction. Instead, you feel an easy comfort.
11. You feel like yourself around him. You don’t feel like you have to edit your thoughts; you’re not self-conscious or anxious.
12. You need him the right amount. You long for him — but not too much. Some neediness is good, but too much breeds discontent.
13. You don’t feel too jealous. You’re comfortable with him going out with his friends — even female friends. You let each other have your own lives and hobbies.
14. You feel like she makes you a better person. She makes you feel smart, funny, attractive, creative — like the best version of yourself. You feel like she brings out and complements the best parts of you.
15. She just gets you. Sometimes it’s that easy. You feel like she understands some essential part of you that you can’t explain or articulate. It’s a warm, comfortable feeling — and one you should have with the person you marry.

Alice In Wonderland
I kinda want to see this movie. I liked Alice In Wonderland when I was a little girl. It was eccentric so I was intrigued by it. Tim Burton does some really creative work. I am excited to see.
House
The Bible calls your earthly body a "tent", but refers to your future body as a "house". The Bible says, "When this tent we live in-our body here on earth-is torn down, God will have a house in Heaven for us to live in, a home He Himself has made, which will last forever."

Better As A Memory
but one day you're gonna find someone
right away, you'll know it's true
that all of your seekings done
it was just a part of the passing through
right there in that moment
you'll finally understand
that I was better as a memory than as your man
-Kenny Chesney
