We all ache, for all have had tears stream down and a gripped heart full of sadness..

God, mend and heal this broken heart. This heart that just longs to help people, this busted heart bursting full of never ending compassion and love; the ache so real and tear stained cheeks. Soften the heart of those who you will have me speak unto and guide my being, my lips, give me the wisdom and words to hit home and help those with shattered hearts mend and lean on Your love. Your unconditional live.

Amen.

A song we all sing.. love and to be loved.

Wicked ways, a sinful heart.. and only one who looks past every unkempt end and unsaid word, every slip up and stumble. The harder I fall the more He reaches out and that very simple love whisper stops me in my tracks, hits me like a brick wall in the most gentle, overwhelming and loving way even possible. Things just get so busy and everything seems to be never ending with an ever increasing deadline to meet. A love so great, a love so raw that you can't walk away the same. His love is. His love is now. It is always. His love is here. It will follow. His love is gracious. His love is kind. His love is indescribable.. it does not fit in your caption or quote, nor the box of your mind. It is kept. It is messy good and it is of endless supply. It is for you.. it is for me. And best of all His love is free and will always be. I love when I become receptive to the things He is trying to show me. Sometimes you just have to shut yourself down.. Forget about the here and now and think about what really is going to be, what is of ultimate value? When you take away the money, materialistic items, and the entitlements what is really sitting there.. People die, money spends, things get old and run down. If you take away anything you have ever bought, owned or known what would be left? For He knew us in womb, even before we have ever been conceived or thought of. Cherished. Loved. Rooted. Cared for. In love with. He was completely for us before there was even a chance of us. We Him because He has first loved us. And to love others the way He has loved us will forever be one of the greatest gifts we will give or can give. Compassion. Love. Kindness. Gentleness. Goodness. Hope. Grace. Forgiveness. If you want it, it is right there. Take it.. stop where you are, whatever you may be doing and open up the door that you've held shut for too long.

Prayers please:

Not sure as of how many read this blog, but if you come across this would you please keep my father and those affected in your prayers! Please and very much thanks! Trying to figure everything out right now is hard with a broken heart. I personally need prayers on guidance and the right words to be said at the right time and to have the strength that my dad and sister need right now. Love you all very much and don't ever take cherished time for granted, you never know when that time will run up. Don't fear to reach out and love on family, friends and people who are in need of love! It's far from silly to show love, no matter how different your love is shown.

What are you waiting for? Isn't life about living! And living to the fullest!?

Even with things we are ever so passionate about and conclusively love doing require good hard time-consuming discipline and repetition, and as many times you'll find can be challenging in the refining process! To refine gold you have to take on the heat, just as you would with passion. Passion is a wonderful thing, but passion refined is a radiant and ravishing! A rushing rage of water can either do ample amounts of damage or when constructively put to a orderly disposition can be used in crafty ways to benefit from, all depending on the course of action taken and the blueprint you come up with. It almost seems as passion without plan is just wildness left to get tangled up in. Passion can be put to a great and mighty use when discipline and structure is involved, or left quite unseemly and overwhelming when no decided or clear course of action is taken. Just because you're passionate doesn't mean you're where you'd like to be. It will always take hard work and the utmost desire to get there.

^"No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way. So take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees. Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong." 
-Hebrews 12:11-13 (New Living Translation)

"All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified." 
-1Corinthians 9:25-27 (New Living Translation)



"The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.”
– Ferdinand Foch


"When you set yourself on fire, people love to come and see you burn.”
– John Wesley


"One person with passion is better than forty people merely interested.”
– E. M. Forster


"Purpose may point you in the right direction but it’s passion that propels you.”
– Travis McAshan

^{Lately this scripture has just gripped my heart like no other, captivated, absorbed and consumed me in all ways. Still there is this burning passion inside that I have yet to reckon with. Everything in my being concurs with this blazing burn but I still am in the process of sorting all this out. A deep complex mess of emotions, thoughts, experiences both blessed and bitter, sought out and unexpected are tangled and awry. I just feel so askew as of this last year. I am in desperation, a longing, aching to pursue God in mighty ways in the simplest of days. So this is me.. I am broken, I am blessed.. I am a beautiful mess that God is still working on. And that's what I hold to in the longest of days and darkest of nights, that He will never give up on me.. no matter how confused, or distraught I may be. Where His glory is I want to be, where His beauty is I want to see.} 


 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. -Philippians 4:8
