Make <him> your first. Look at those little things about him you love. Look at how much he respects you <> and loves you, and spoils you. And then ask yourself again why he doesn't deserve to be your "first".

Here comes...
...THE DRESS!!!!!
It's here, it's here, the dress IS HERE!!
I won't be trying it on for another week or so but IT IS HERE!!!!
So excited I'm actually doing the twist...yes, I admit it's about the only dance my no-dancing self can actually perform...and with glee!

Why oh why do we ALL 'front'. It's enough to make this gal scream. Why do we hide...behind this shield of flawed perfection....this tough nut exterior...this mask of non chalance...when all we want to do is ...AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!
Some of the most sensitive ppl I have had the honor of knowing are described by others - read: ppl who don't really know them - as 'tough as nails'. Ummm... Yeah.... NOT. Why? They put on this air of...'nothing phases me' because EVERYTHING phases them. I'd rather...ummm I mean they'd rather be fake than let ppl know they've been hurt by the actions of others...intentionally malicious or no. K, I'm bored with this line of reasoning. Old news...really
I see it everyday. Ppl lash out viciously at others in macho defiance instead of admitting they've been deeply wounded... by the lack of a phonecall, a forgotten birthday,plain old insensitivity.
What's the origin of the fear? The unwillingness....the inability to lay oneself bare before another in admission of hurt. Ridicule? Rejection?
Why do we seek vengeance instead of resolution? Why hold on to the hurt ....thereby enveloping oneself in the dreary darkness that is unforgiveness. Why live in pain and negativity....when all we have to do is...let it go... let vengeance truly be God's. When all we have to do is forgive... and learn from the experience. Lay ourselves bare even, admitting our feelings to whomever struck the blow to our ego...and we might be pleasantly surprised by the reaction. The incident might even bring us closer together...

You took my breath away
I want it back again
Look at the mess Im in...
~ George Harrison
YOWZAH!!! MINE! ME!! I WANT!! GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!
That's how I reacted the minute I saw these altar arrangements on one of the blogs I frequent. This awesome wedding was featured on Abby's blog. Boy am I in a mess, now I want to change what we've already decided for the altar arrangements. Yikes!
A close up...ooooohhhh
OMG. They're. so. fuhreakin'. beautiful! To top it off, they totally match the centerpieces for the reception. Gladiolus and callas. Simple, clean lines. Candles around the base. Wow. This idea was totally stolen from me...taken right out of my subconscious creative mind... even though it never crossed said mind, heh
Oh man! If only callas weren't so expensive. Still. I'm going to ask the florist to give me an estimate for these arrangements.
What a mess...

Take your candle, go light your world

Where is the line. Is it so blurred that we've lost ourselves...so blurred that we now blend in, so blurred that we are now yoked together?
Love, Love, Love, yes, but where has honesty gone? Has tact swallowed it up? Has tolerance overshadowed truth? Whatever happened to the truth. God's truth. What happened to accepting it...believing it...professing it? Professing it to all...even to those in direct violation of it. Does tact diminish the message when we do attempt to relay it? Does it warp the message altogether and make it of no effect? Are we compromising? Afraid of being different...of being identified as one with unpopular views...afraid of...man?
I love you but...You're my brother but...You're my best friend but... Will what comes next destroy what we have? Will my not speaking up cause me to lose a bit of myself...my faith... my relationship with the One who matters most? Which relationship is more important? Note the question is not which should be but which IS? What we believe, preach, practice, why do they differ?
Do not fear what man can do to you. Do not be afraid of being unpopular. The group dynamic is prone to flawed judgements and error. Fitting into it is not a priority. God is. What He thinks of you is most important. Obeying His mandate is your purpose. Do not be afraid to speak out and to stand up for that in which you believe. Remember though, that God is love. All our actions must be done in Love. Tolerance and tact are to help us in delivering the message. Let them not become the enemy...let them not warp the truth.
