Who cares what they think?

Honestly, it DOESN'T MATTER!

This fear.

Phobias.

everyone has fears. We are all afraid.

Fearlessness is not the absence of fear.

as Taylor Swift cleverly puts it, "Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death."

I mean, everyone's afraid of something, we all have phobias, no matter how mild.

Apopophobia- fear of bee's.
Spheksophobia- fear of wasps.
Coulrophobia- fear of clowns.
Agateophobia- fear of insanity.
Kakroohaphiophobia- fear of failure.
Emetophobia- fear of vomiting.
Agilophobia- fear of pain.
Podophobia- fear of feet.
Arachnophobia- fear of spiders.
Aichmophobia- fear of needles.
Nosocomephobia- fear of hospitals.

Above are my fears...some of them at least. Yeah a few are a little weird, but I'm not ashamed of them. No most of them aren't phobia's because yes i have to live with them, i mean bee's, they're everywhere; feet, I have feet...duh. My point is, these are all things that I am afraid of, things that scare me, things that I hate to go through but i know I have to. No matter how much I want to say it, I will not live my life in fear. I will not "hope" for these things to disappear from my life. If fears were non-existent, nobody would ever really go anywhere in life. Think about it, most of the time some of the best choices we make in our lives scare us shitless, but never do we end up regretting making those decisions. Why? because even if the outcome turned out for the worse, we gained knowledge, we learned. I know that fear had made me do some really stupid things, but over all those things, I can honestly say that my best choice was made despite of one of my biggest fears, and because of it I am the happiest girl in the world.

TWLOHA

so I'm a day late with this post...figures....

It was awesome to see SO many people at my school with LOVE written on their arms yesterday.

I mean it's really getting the message out.

"We often ask God to show up. We pray prayers of rescue. Perhaps God would ask us to be that rescue, to be his Body, to move for things that matter. He is not invisible when we come alive. I might be simple but more and more, I believe God works in love, speaks in love and is revealed in our love.... We are only asked to love, to offer hope to the many hopeless"

p.s Permanent marker is REALLLY hard to wash off.... :P

"Be Brave. Be Strong. Don't give up.

Expect God to get here soon."

-Psalm 31:24 (The Message)

Sometimes we just have to remember that it will be okay. No matter what.

:)

YAY for Helvetica font!
 ...just putting that out there : )

hmm.

hmm,
approaching change...
where does one start?

myself.

There is so much to do, obviously.

inspired,
I will change things.

This Feeling.

Imagination running wild,

Feeling my heart beat.

My cares are that of a child

The thought, so sweet.

The imaginative rush,

Adrenaline going through my brain.

These feelings coming up as mush,

It’s hard to explain.

This sense of release,

This view of perfection.

There really is peace!

And a feel of protection.

Though it’s misunderstood,

To be something weak.

Poetry strengthens the heart,

The mind and the soul.

It makes us unique.

You Are my Strong Tower

"The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe."
Proverbs 18:10

In You, I Trust.
In You, I Believe.
In You, I find Shelter.
In You, I am Strong.
In You, I am Fearless.
In You, I can do Anything!

"...
I go running to your mountain
Where your mercy sets me free

[chorus]
You are my strong tower
Shelter over me
Beautiful and mighty
Everlasting King
You are my strong tower
Fortress when I'm weak
Your name is true and holy
And Your face is all I seek

In the middle of my darkness
In the midst of all my fear
You're my refuge and my hope
When the storm of life is raging
And the thunder's all I hear
You speak softly to my soul"
-'Strong Tower' KUTLESS

"The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation..."
-Psalm 28:7-9

Time

Time is flying by,
tick-tock, tick-tock,
It's always working, always steady, always sure.
Seconds, minutes, hours, days.
Going as far as years, decades, centuries.
All the way through eternity, time go's on.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.

It is our responsibility to learn and grow as the time go's by. One could easily waste their life doing nothing, learning the bare minimum to live a comfortable life. But what's the point of that? Where's the adventure, the fun?

My promise is to dedicate my time to see the world change. No matter how small it is.
I know that God wants me to be the best that I can be in all that I do.
And I know that I am ultimately capable of achieving change.
... I think.

As time goes by, change will come.

"In order to see change, We need to change."

"I can do everything through him who gives me strength."
-Philippians 4:13

(II) What If...

What if everyone changed?

If in one giant simultaneous bang, each and every person in this world instantly switched personalities?

Would the world come to chaos?

Imagine, a kind hearted, dedicated doctor suddenly not caring. A fierce, determined police person, now afraid. Your best friend, no longer trustworthy.

Who knows where we would end up?

This Place I'm in.

(I) What if...
