Internal Dialogue

The twenty rush settled one particular ideal, “por tanto id y haced discípulos en todas las naciones”

All through the teens it gravitated towards, ‘those who go’

Then like a sudden ray it pierced my own ideal, for life is but a brief trailer of our future

Almost ten years have gone by and I pray that my desires and dreams may align with yours

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

The Beautiful

A man is not measured by intelligence or beauty, he is measured by his pure existence

A woman is not measured by beauty or intelligence, she is measured by her heart

She who patiently awaits as the rain covers and splashes over her pool of dreams

She who rises and contemplates her child breathing and overjoys as the toothless child smiles at her

She who suffered at the cross as stained drops covered the ground…

One’s beauty is internally developed for each is measured by the mere essence of existing

Our weaknesses have been washed away by the blood of the lamb and our opportunity to live was sealed at the cross

a beautiful heart is only found in Christ, conceived by God alone

Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place… And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

For the will of God, we bear the cross, for in it we find life.

Whom Have I

So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.

Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.

Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.

But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works.
