God's Love+Passion=Purpose

Thu, 19 May 2011 15:35:47 -0400

Matthew 22: 36-38

“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the seond is like it: “Love your neighbor as yourself’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Find yourself in God and together discover your passions then you can discover your purpose

John 17:24

“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.”

God created me us in his image for a reason… because we are the object of love.

On earth everywhere you we look there is pain, suffering, betrayal…

The glory of what love can do for us is being robbed from us. But God is here to set us free from the pain.

You can’t love until you have/feel God’s love. Until you have forgiven those who have caused you pain. You are not complete and will never be fulfilled by God’s unconditional love.

John 17:23

“I in them and you in me- so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”

With the love I have for God and the love He has for me together we can develop a passion that I can use and serve him.

John 17:26

“I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and I myself may be in them.”

God wants us to know, feel, and receive his love.

God heals what the sin of the world has done to us.

Lady of Reckless Abandonment

Tue, 10 May 2011 10:00:06 -0400

A woman is not born a woman. Nor does she become one when she marries a man, bears a child and does their dirty linen, not even when she joins a women’s liberation movement. A women becomes a woman when she becomes what God wants her to be.

“I feel very strongly that marriage is not a higher calling than the single state. Happy indeed are those people, married or single, who have discovered that happiness is not found in marriage but in a right relationship with God.” Gary Chapman

No one, no even the man you will marry one day, can make you happy- only Jesus can.

Marriage teaches us that even the most intimate human companionship cannot satisfy the deepest places of the heart. Our hearts are lonely ‘till they rest in Him.’ - Elisabeth Elliot

Lady In Waiting

is not about finding the right man,

but becoming the right woman.

The Lady in Waiting

recklessly abandons herself

to the Lordship of Christ,

diligently uses her single days,

trust God with unwavering faith,

demonstrates virtue in daily life,

loves God with undistracted devotion,

stands for physical and emotional purity,

lives in security,

responds to life in contentment,

makes choices based on her convictions,

and waits patiently for God to meet her needs.

Alpha Xi Delta has encouraged and matured me in so many ways. I have met the most beautiful women on the inside and out, which I am blessed to call them my sisters. The friendships that I have made will last a lifetime and I can see them all coming to my wedding! Alpha Xi Delta’s lifetime commitment means everything to me. I pledged, I promised, and I take heart to the rituals and values of Alpha Xi Delta. I have made them my own in which I will follow for the rest of my life. Everyday I pray to God that I will act and continue to become the woman he created me to be and Alpha Xi Delta helps me everyday. Sometimes its tough in college, to be the woman you are and want to be with the pressures and choices that college presents. However, having over one hundred sisters that all share the same values and go through the same things as me on a daily basis makes college so much easier. <3 ali

“Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.

Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag.She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants. You see the weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a second hand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow.

She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.

Buy her another cup of coffee.

Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.

It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas and for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry, in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are love. Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.

She has to give it a shot somehow.

Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world.

Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who understand that all things will come to end. That you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two.

Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilightseries.

If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.

You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.

You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots.

Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.

Or better yet, date a girl who writes.”
