| - All You AngelsA post to rememberHere is a little breadcrumb i have been nibbling on from the table of the King. Small, but enough to keep me both on my hands and knees and moving forward in this blessing we call life. this blessing is truly a blessing. we have been given a time to prepare and grow.
i have been dwelling on Ps. 33 for the last couple of days. it is very interesting. i started at v. 18 and it says;
"But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
(19) to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
(20) We wait in hope for the Lord;
he is our help and our shield.
(21) In him our hearts rejoice,
for we must trust in his holy name.
(22) May your unfailing love rest upon us,
O Lord,
even as we put our hope in you."
"We wait in hope for the Lord"
can hope be a place? not only can it be that when wating for the Lords timing we are waiting hopefully. But what if hope were a place of waiting? we wouldn't wait and hope; we would wait in hope. can the hope of the Lord be so real and so big that we can almost literally wait in it? why not. now i don't mean that it is a physical place we can step into. but in a sense of our spirituality, a refuge. this is one of those subjects that when i first thought about it, it made total sense in my heart but now that i'm trying to explain it i'm jumping all over the map.
this portion of the psalm is a response of the people. starting at v.20 the people are responding to the previous 19 verses. when i first read this i was thinking that "wait in hope" could have a dual meaning. that when we are waiting for the Lords timing he provides... the means to make it through.... i hope this conveys enough because i can't intellectualize this concept. i understand it enough to to want to convey it but not enough to actually do so. sorry. :( very good portion of scripture, read it.
so i only have 2 more weeks of school!! then i'm road tripping home. i've been taking lots of pictures and i made a short movie!! i doubt it will be playing anywhere near you guys anytime real soon. sorry. i've been rock climbing a lot, fun fun. i'm working at a rock climbing studio (gym) as well. good times. i've been listening to some awesome music!! very very good music.... life for the most part has been nice. it will be nice to get home and see the fam and some friends, maybe this time one someone will stick around while i'm there!?!? anyway i need to get ready to go to work.. so i will catch you guys later. maybe i'll update again in about a month. :)

| the whisper of the hillsi thought that sounded nice. i haven't updated for a while, as you probably have guessed. life has a funny way of prioritizing things and xanga doesn't really fit on the list. i'll give a nice post soon....

| Wow is has been a while. more on me at the bottom
JewlGrl1: you are right on so many
points. your comment has a lot of truth and thought in it. i will never
understand the chemical, physical, emotional, mental, and all those
other things that relate with being pregnant. i don't really understand
that much about abortion so i don't think that i know everything or
even act like it. as you said i will never be faced with a decision
concerning an abortion and i pray you are right. but how does that stop
me from trying to help others? there are a lot of girls, girlfriends,
friends, fiancees, wives, and mothers that are trying to make that
decision (about 126,000 a day worldwide) and there are also a lot of
boys, boyfriends, friends, fiances, husbands, and fathers that are
going to play a key role in the end decision. women aren't in this
struggle alone. you're right about the adoption process is not in good
shape at all. however, you made a few wrong assumptions regarding
me and your argument which i would like to point out....
i know that about 52% of abortions are performed on women younger than
25. 19% in their teens. this maybe surprising but i do know that not
*every* abortion is for some upper middle class girl that needs to 'fix
a problem'. i know that their are other reasons than just a
birth-control method for abortion. daughters of teen mothers are 22%
more likely to become teen mothers, sons of teen mothers are 13% more
likely to go to prison. in both cases the odds are still in high favor
of the child. so lets not kill them before they even have a chance. As
for rape: ". . . it is commonly assumed that rape victims who become
pregnant
would naturally want abortions. But in the only major study of pregnant
rape
victims ever done, Dr. Sandra Mahkorn found that 75 to 85 percent chose
against abortion." (Rape, Incest and Abortion: Searching Beyond the Myths By David C. Reardon, Ph.D.)
when talking about rape and incest i really don't know what to say.
as you alluded to i really can't relate because i have never been
there. but what i believe is that a child is a gift, it is something
perfect, to see life growing and caring for that child to me is a
blessing. regardless of how that child was concieved. if it was
concieved through an act of evil what better way to counteract that
evil than by giving birth to something so precious? as far as being
pro-life, i still am. the common vernacular on the word still regards
abortion and not the (according to this countries system of laws)
'lawful carrying out of a sentence' or mis-use of animals.
*whew* now that i have that off my chest for now. yeah so life has been
crazy. school is really hard and there have been a lot of little things
that are slowing me down. earlier today i had to really kick myself to
get of my rut and enjoy life. there is plenty of time to sweat the
small stuff later. there is this supper sweet climbing gym that i have
been going to. it is a very nice stress reducer/ way take my mind off
the day or think of future ideas for projects. my christmas break was
amazing. i loved hanging out with my friends and family. smokin sweet
hobbit pipes, photo drives and walks, ping-pong, reading the entire
chronicles of narnia, driving across the country, getting stuck in an
ice storm in texas (probably/hopefully a once in a life time event),
etc... good times, good times. well it is nearing february and 1am so i
must depart. good night and may good fortune go with you
