Mexico, Car Troubles, and the Glory of God
I spent this weekend in Mexico. It was incredible. We run the risk of looking at life too plainly if we never get out of our own culture. If we never get a break from bowling alley’s and movie stars, we might forget that our world has a lot more depth, and a lot more pain. I think Disneyland is America’s most iconic by-product, because it most models what America is. We have...
How to Make Friends
I am naturally a hermit. Left to my own devices I will sit alone in my room and read books for hours. I actually find rest in doing my homework because it gives me some time away from people. That probably doesn’t sound a lot like me. Most people would assume I’m pretty extroverted because I adore people. I love making friends. It’s exciting, and wonderful. It also wears me...
Playing Princess
I have this habit of adopting girls as sisters. That probably seems creepy, I promise it’s wholesome. In high school I assumed this odd role of the older advice giver. At first, I was just explaining boys to the younger girls. Maybe I’m insane, but girls have always seemed easy to understand for me. I understand boys too, but I feel as if we are the confusing gender. We mask our...

My Clockwork Heart
Something most of my friends could tell you is that I love the imagery of Robots. I always have. I dabble in painting, and robots are my favorite subject matter. At first I supposed I just liked robots, but I’m finding whenever I look deeper into why I like something I find my soul always stands on something solid. I find it’s usually the fact that I see myself in the subject...
The Santa Anna
There was once a little boy who was fascinated with Pirates. He loved to play in his backyard, pillaging villages and firing cannons at other ships. Sometimes he was fearsome, and sometimes he was heroic. In his sandbox he had conquered cities, fell in love with women, and escaped Davey Jones’ Locker itself. At school he would draw pirates. they weren’t dirty marauders, but...
Dex here: Beauty in Substance and Form →
dexhere:
I reblogged “Beastly and the Beast” awhile ago, but I had some thoughts how the issue of the beauty in substance and in form.
I thought of this in the thinking of music. Specifically of how they relate to each other. The substance (typically lyrics) and its form (all the music and such), both…
Wanting Dirt
There are times where you just want to win at things, and have a girl who is like Jesus to kiss good night. I guess I wish sometimes that I was spiritual enough to transcend everything in the world…but that’s not what I’m designed to do. Which means if I could reach a state where I had no earthly desires, and just heavenly ones…I wouldn’t be Cole. Cole was designed to...
I Need A Savior
I learn these lesson over and over. Hopefully, by the end of my life I’ll know nothing better.
hallieliuya asked: You really weren't struck by Horton jumping off a cliff and searching painstakingly- flower by flower- for THE clover that held Whoville? It's my favorite scene. Because God does that for us, for every single one of His children that He calls His own...you should watch it again. :)
The Thing About Gardens
Gardens are a fact. I live in a huge city, and never noticed a single garden. It’s never worried me though. They aren’t going away or anything. What I mean is I never woke up nervous to think that all the flowers were going away, and before long I’d be trapped in my concrete world of burger kings and board meetings. When I think about nature, it has this...
hallieliuya asked: What do you think of the movie 'Horton Hears a Who'?

New Year's Revolution
Tonight I was working at Famous Dave’s. That’s all I seem to do, not that I’m complaining. It’s interesting what marks what season of life. This season is a season of work. I spend 40 hours a week cleaning tables, and talking to my incredible coworkers. They are people worth knowing. There is this beautiful girl who’d never believe it, even if the world told her...

Beastly and the Beast
Beauty and the Beast is a wonderful story. A beautiful girl learns to see past herself to see the inner beauty of another. Very Poetic. Then she kisses him and he becomes a handsome prince. I think Shrek is more poetic, though. A beautiful woman falls in love with an Ogre, then turns into an ugly ogre. I mean our world is full of ugly people, loved by God. I think life might seem more...
URGENT PRAYER REQUEST. PRAYER WARRIORS NEEDED. →
journeytoanewcreation:
I have a friend who has been struggling for a significant amount of time. I will not identify her as it’s not my place to, but I know she is in desperate need of prayers. She is currently struggling with an eating disorder, suicidal thoughts, abuse and concerns about having multiple sclerosis. She does have a relationship with God, but struggling with all this often leads...
Restoring_Hope: So shall the Enemy tremble. →
journeytoanewcreation:
As I open my eyes and place my feet on the floor So shall the Enemy tremble As he is reminded that Christ preserves my life
As I start off my day with praise and thanksgiving to God So shall the Enemy tremble As his ears burn and my heart rejoices
As I open the curtains and marvel at His…

End Tables as the Meaning of Life
It’s the end of the Christmas season, and it’s gotten me thinking a lot about possessions. By possessions I mean stuff, the yard-sale waiting to happen that fills our homes robbing us of the square footage we fight so hard to purchase. I thought I’d clarify, or you might read through this whole article wondering when I’m going to mention demons, how they enter you and...

Confessions
I like to listen to people talk. One of my weirdest qualities is I’m good at reading people’s language. I’ll never be good at reading people, but I can figure out what you say, what you aren’t saying and what you want to say. Okay. I’m no mind reader, but I can tell when someone is not saying something they desperately want to. As people, we really want to trust others with ourselves. You see it...
