perspective.

life has a funny way of putting things into perspective. i'm sure that's an intentional aspect or facet of existence though; to be slapped upside your head with the notion that maybe, just maybe, life doesn't suck nearly as bad as we may think. things could always be worse. truer words have never been spoken..

a conversation i overheard while traveling:

Lady: So where you headed?
Man: To see some friends up North and stay with them for a while..you?
Lady: I'm headed back to school. I just visited my family this weekend..
Man: That's nice..
Lady: Why are you going to see your friends? Plan on having a lot of fun?
Man: *slight laughter* Oh nothing like that..I'm dying of cancer and they wanna see me and spend time before I....

20100311 - this was supposed to be a facebook status..

..but i was 77 characters too long winded, sooo hey..thought the trusty blog could use a bit of attention..and before i ramble, allow me to ctrl + V:

i am blessed with the insight to invite your heart to my mind/to lyrically massage that same heart hardened by time/to soothe the quietest worry with a scriptural line/to offer ensurance of the endurance of the promises of the Divine/but sometimes/as i hold the magnifying glass to Christ's life i fail to magnify mine/i'm practicing transparency and i'm praying He shines/and if i seem to have it altogether then somebody's lying/i don't run fast but i'm seeking to cross the finish line flying

the first question that came to my mind (and quite possibly yours) is: where'd this even come from?

well, i don't know if you knew, but i'm a poet. writing is my thing..my outlet. this post is no exception. my mind has been tangled in a tightly pulled knot for the past few weeks. much is on the agenda and i found myself feeling overwhelmed. that was enough as it is (does that sound selfish?), but the metaphorical icing on the metaphorical cake is when i was informed that "others" were jealous of me.

"apparently, because you have it all together."

i must've laughed for a half hour straight. (no exaggeration here) every LOL, LMBO, ROFL, ROFLMBO, LMBOWTTHBARBFAKFPOM (that actually means something ^_^) escaped my person that day. i'm so sorry to disappoint, but i don't have a perfect life. i never HAVE. if there's an inkling of confidence detected within me, know that it's because the joy of the Lord is my strength and that His mercy doesn't make room for me to be consumed. ok..i think that's all for now..
