.about being faithful.

LOVE isnt finding the perfect person; its seeing the imperfect person perfectly.
Just like how You saw me when You took the crown of thorns.



When I can't feel You
I have learnt to reach out just the same
When I can't hear You
I know You still hear every word I pray
and I want You more than I want to live another day
As I wait for You, maybe I'm made more FAITHFUL

There's distance in the air, and I cannot make it leave
I wave my arms round about me
And blow with all my might
I cannot sense You close
But I know You're always here
But the comfort of You near is what I long for..

Oh the folly of the past
Though I know it is undone
I still feel the guilty one still trying to make it right
So I whisper soft Your name
Let it roll around my tongue
Knowing You're the Only One who knows me
You know me...

Show me how I should live this
Show me where I should walk
I count this world as loss to me
You are all I want
You are all I want..

Therefore Lord, "I will declare that Your love stands firm FOREVER! that You established Your FAITHFULness in heaven itself. (Psalms 89:2); to proclaim Your love in the morning, and Your FAITHFULness at night! " (Psalm 92:2)

TRUE LOVE: Has anyone else in your life loved you THAT much?

heh.. found this while looking for other images.. this would naturally be something to write about on Valentines Day or season... but who says you need a time to write about LOVE??
what attracted me was:

1. "sometimes you have to work for it- especially when LIFE gets in the way.."
i dont really agree with this.. as i think that LIFE will always be apart of everything..
we've to be realistic about the harshness of the world's problems, which eventually become part of our own. So, the challenge is that true love WILL BE ABLE to battle through all the harshness and the 2 people will come out victorious!

2. "true love is always worth fighting for"
ah... this is true =)
i think one way to 'TEST' how true love is, is by how much it is worth fighting for. The simplest of examples is how Jesus fought for our love. It was sooooo true that He was willing to give up to pay for our love with His OWN life, just to get us back.

Sometimes we complain that we dont feel loved... LOL= Lack of Love (so they say...) but..

Think again, has ANYONE else in YOUR life loved you THAT MUCH????

We all have a LOVE to fight for.. But lets remember that JESUS fought for us FIRST!!!!

Walking with God: Sequeal to Shadow Feet

Walking stumbling.. on these shadow feet
Toward home a land that I've never seen
Im am changing less and less asleep
Made of different stuff then when I begin...
When the world is falling out from under me
I'll be found in You, STILL STANDINGWhen time and space are through
I'll be found in You..
-Shadowfeet, Brooke Fraser-

this is a post about how i leaned on God during weirdly confusing and amazingly painful times.. its a part of John Eldredge's Waking The Dead.. hope this speaks deeply to you as it did for me =)

Walking with God

Walking with God leads to receiving His intimate counsel, and counselling leads to DEEP restoration. As we learn to walk with God and hear His voice, He is able to bring up issues in our hearts that need speaking to. Some of those wounds were enought to break our hearts, create a rift in the soul, and so we need His healing badly. This is something Jesus walks us into-sometimes through the help of another person who can listen and pray with us, smetimes with God ALONE.

As David said in Psalm 23, He leads us away, to a quiet place, to restore our soul. OUr first choise is to go with Him there- to slow down, unplug, accpet the invitation to come aside. You will never find healking in the midst of the matrix.

We need time in God's presence. This often comes as God raises some issues in our hearts or after we just relived an event that takes us straight back to that broken place, or waking up to a raw emotion.

When we're in God presence (when we spend time soaking in love songs to God in our mp3s and ipods, reading a Ransomed Heart series, reading the bible, going thru daily devotion materials, or just simply thinking about God and thanking Him for His goodness towards us), removed from distraction, we are able to hear Him more clearly in our hearts, and a secure environment has been established for the young and broken places in our hearts to surface, for Him to heal us.

He cares for everything thing you have been through no matter how it may sound and look. Remember there's a place in our heart and a longing so deep that only God can fill. Let Him in to fill you =)

Awkward Love.. To all beautiful women: This is why we love

haha the title pretty much speaks for itself.. Awkward Love

This is an exerpt that has taught me how to love, the different aspects of love, and ULTIMATE reason that we can actually do such a thing as TO LOVE =)

It took me at least a week or so to fully understand what it meant.. and at least 1 year to work on it and actually see results.. These are one of the many things that have impacted and changed me to be the MICHI you see, hear, and know now!! kekekeke =)

LOVE YOU everybody!

God speaks yet AGAIN, through John & Stasi Eldredge :

• Honest communication in love is the only way to live and grow in friendships. There are ebbs and flows. There may be real hurt and disappointment.
• But with the grace of God firmly holding us, it is possible to nurture and sustain deep friendships.
• We are designed to live in relationship and share in the lives of other women. We need one another. God knows that. We have only to ask and surrender, to wait, to hope, and, in faith, to love. We must also repent.
• For a woman to enjoy relationship, she must repent of her need to control and her insistence that people fill her.
• Fallen Eve demands that people “come through” for her.
• Redeemed Eve is being met in the depths of her soul by Christ and is free to offer to others, free to desire, and willing to be disappointed.
• Fallen Eve has been wounded by others and withdraws in order to protect herself from further harm.
• Redeemed Eve knows that she has something of value to offer; that she is made for relationship. Therefore, being safe and secure in her relationship with her Lord, she can risk being vulnerable with others and offer her true self.
• To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken.
• If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness.
• But in that casket—safe, dark, motionless, airless—it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable . . . The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers . . . of love is Hell. (C. S. Lewis, The Four Loves)

The Ultimate Risk Anyone Ever Takes is To Love

God speaks in mysteriously coincident ways ya.. but we know that nothing is by coincidence.. this is the 'coincidence' that i encountered right after knowing some info. This is what it is to love.. from John Eldredge my fav author.

God’s relationship with us and with our world is just that: a relationship. As with every relationship, there’s a certain amount of unpredictability, and the ever-present likelihood that you’ll get hurt. The ultimate risk anyone ever takes is to love, for as C. S. Lewis says, “Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal.” But God does give it, again and again and again, until he is literally bleeding from it all. God’s willingness to risk is just astounding—far beyond what any of us would do were we in his position.

Trying to reconcile God’s sovereignty and man’s free will has stumped the church for ages. We must humbly acknowledge that there’s a great deal of mystery involved, but for those aware of the discussion, I am not advocating open theism. Nevertheless, there is definitely something wild in the heart of God.

The best advice i got today was from Jac that brought me face to face with my senses that it almost hurt.. funny to hear this coming from me.. but proves that im only human =)
Jac said: Keep being thankful & grateful to Him. Its the antidote to any lack or loss!

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing
But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
Others only read of the love, the love that I love.

See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive

You and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore
And with this silence brings a moral story
More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just dream of
And if you could see me now
Well I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of
Finally deedeedeedee
Well I'm almost finally, finally
Well I'm free, oh, I'm free

And it's okay if you have go away
Oh just remember the telephone works both ways
And if I never ever hear them ring
If nothing else I'll think the bells inside
Have finally found you someone else and that's okay
Cause I'll remember everything you sang

Cause you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see now
well I'm almost finally out of.
I'm finally out of, finally, deedeeededede
well I'm almost finally, finally, finally out of words.
