| hello friends, yes, it is true. i have become like the throngs of all the other xanga abandoners. How do you faithful ones do it? You must have friends who either a.) actually read and comment on your blog or b.) have friends who actually blog themselves. Very little of my chicas and chicos do either, so it makes it hard to want to write on here , i guess. So, i've succumbed to the blogging on myspace. I'm a glutton for attention I suppose, so I'm writing where I actually get feedback. Is it a sin??? Anyway....perhaps from time to time I'll still write on here, I can't bring myself to delete my Xanga altogether. It was such a staple for so many years, haha. Leave me some love, write some crap of your own. I love you all. Here is my latest blog from my myspace: lately, i've been learning a lot, as is usually inevitable during times like these. i am glad for learning, and hope to continue on this path, as to "waste the pain" of these days would be a deep regret indeed. one of the main things that i've learned, that keeps returning to my mind, aiding in my peace, is that there is a great difference between His promises and His blessings. we are actually promised very little in this life, especially regarding our physical condition and state of being. in fact, we are even promised to have great sorrows and sufferings in this current life. however, i think most of us, at least is true for myself, regarded my beautiful life, as what was promised to me, rather than blessings. "every good and perfect gift is a blessing from above".... not a promise. not something that we ever deserved. but how quickly we take the good, confusing it for what we deserve, and take it for granted. and when the awful times come, we say, "what is this! this is not what i was promised". how mistaken was i. every good day, every wonderful breath, every moment with our loved ones, every friend and spouse, ever morsel of food, every joy, every season of wealth and health...... all blessings. all of it, nothing we have do we ever deserve, will we ever deserve. yet, we so easily take it, forgetful to be thankful.... thinking it was a promise to us. " i am blessed beyond what i can see".... a line from my good friend and sister's former music endeavor. these words ring so true to me these days. our blessings on this earth, while beautiful are yet so temporary. Thank the Lord Jesus these days are also so temporary....and what we are promised is coming. it is eternal and forever. it can not and will not be taken from us, as blessings on this earth sometimes are.....and that is ok....."it is well with my soul".......well sometimes, at least. But He is working on me in that. and until then, i am learning that i am currently promised little, i am always still blessed much.... and i am looking forward to the days of eternal, perfect promises. Lord Jesus, come. |
