"LOVE"

“Love is not a feeling. Love is an action, an activity. . .Genuine love implies commitment and the exercise of wisdom. . . . love as the will to extend oneself for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.....true love is an act of will that often transcends ephemeral feelings of love or cathexis, it is correct to say, 'Love is as love does'.” ~M.

Dear God,

Sometimes I don't know what you want from me, but I will try my best to follow this path that you have for me. I am a little confused, but then again, arn't we all. I understand that I will go through good times and bad times; which I have clearly come across recently. I just pray that you will help me along this journey. Preferably, helping me get a job at the moment. I know I have to let it all to you. Which I am happy to give 100%. You know I wasn't happy there. I did feel like I was getting no where, and I know I didn't think I was meant to stay there. I don't know if I could hear one more person in their sad displacement. But I tried to help them as much as I knew how. I love to help people. It makes me happy when I am able too. So, therefore I feel that this could actually be a sign. Maybe for something better. Who knows. Life will in fact go on.

Psalm 27:3,5,13-14
Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war may rise against me,In this I will be confident. For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock. I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!

.....thanks to everyone that has been by my side. Alan, I love you so much. You were right there for me, like you always have been. I don't even know how much I thank you for your love for me. I look into your eyes and I see the man that I am going to spend the rest of my life with. A man who has faith in God, and has great passion. I see a guy who has determination, and more strength then I can't even ponder. When I am down, you lift me up and make me smile. When I need a hug, you wrap your arms around me and squeeze. Sometimes, the only thing I need is a hug. Thank you to my family and friends. No matter where we are in life or what our differences are, I will always love all of you. I am a person who does not want to hold hatred toward anyone. I want to see the joy and wonderfulness in each person. Life is too short to stay mad with hate. It consumes too much of my soul. I would rather smile then frown. I would rather love then hate. I would rather forgive then forget.

It is a beautiful day outside....I might take a walk and take the time to think. An view God's creation.

God Bless.
