The One
If for a soul-mate you dream,
See past the alluring fashion of her dress.

The vision of such flowing hair
Entwines around the heart, but
Constricts and squeezes out the one it treasures most.

Instead, follow the creator of this world;
Who fashioned each soul from love,
And made passion the highest goal.

The time to start the quest is now.
There is no second chance
To embrace the joy, the pain,
Of the one
Who longs
For you.
  -Rahman Baba Mohmand


Give Me
O Lord, give me a heart
I can pour out in thanksgiving.
Give me life
So I can spend it
Working for the salvation of the world.
  -Khwaja Abdullah Ansari

I'M BACK!!!!!
OK, so maybe it isn't that big of a deal... I didn't really go anywhere, I just haven't been too active on the xanga front lately.  I am vowing to change that though... at least until I leave for the Air Force next month.  I am want to try and keep things updated after BMT... I'm sure I'll have some interesting things to tell ya then.

I am doing great!  I went to ATF (Acquire the Fire)  last weekend and Jesus happened to be there.  Boy did I need Jesus too!  My heart was becoming hard and callused.  I went in stubborn... I was there for the kids... not for me... I was getting too old for this to be relevant to me.  WRONG!!  That's the great thing about Jesus... He can use anything and anyone to get His message to you.  The message at ATF was just what I needed to hear.

Ok, I'm going to bed

Thank God for new seasons!  Thank God for hope!
