reading.

i bought a new book today. its titled ” the year of living like Jesus” written by ed dobson. i am falling in love with this idea. its crazy to think about living like he lived for a year. the book is really good. i recommend to all people. i didnt know if i was going to like it because i have recently really enjoyed reading any book that talks about faith and religion just trying to further my understanding. and then all of a sudden i see this book and i was like.. huh i wonder if its a serious or non serious take on this topic. and without reading the summary of the book i bought it. i opened this book and found page after page of things that challenged me. ed, a man living with a degenerative terminal illness, set out to live like Jesus for a year. to do so, he committed to reading through the entire Gospels once a week. he began eating kosher and growing his beard. he went to Synagogue and kept company with people living on the fringes. to the best of his abilities, he took the Bible literally and used it as a filter for every fork in the road. and i have been reading it now for 2 hours and i cant get enough. i really i appreciated how Dobson sprinkled quotes about the reality of how hard it is to live like jesus throughout the book. i say. go get this book and start reading it. there is nothing stopping you. <3.

yes.

so i mean life kinda took a crazy turn in decemeber. i said yes to a marriage proposal. im getting married (to the love of my life). its just insane to me. its every girls dream to get to plan their “princess wedding” but i never really thought about that growing up. i played with dirt and played sports, kind of the tom boy of the group. you know? it did not really hit me until i really started to plan this that its almost a right of passage into the woman/adult world.                                                            [   so there is my life learning lesson for this one.   ] Even family is different. because no matter how normal you think your family is… i guaranty that no one else seems them like that and you are not only sharing yours now but GAINING a whole new one of people who know NOTHING about you. its crazy. strangers look and talk to u differently when they find out that that ring on your finger is a promise and commitment. its like the biggest secret club that no one talks about. im serious its so weird. dont get me wrong its the greatest feeling in the world. knowing that i have someone to share the rest of my life with who loves me and adores me and all that mushy stuff. its just so different and its going to take some time to get used to it all. well new life lesson one. right of passages.

THE MAN.

THE MAN.

I once observed a man
Who gazed upon a wall. 
He said he was astonished 
That the bricks didn’t fall. 
No matter the weather, 
There was always the wall. 
But by our human nature 
We break down and fall.

This wall simply amazed him, 
But offerred no inspiration. 
Somehow this simple fellow 
Furthered his investigation. 
he stood completely silent, 
But I heard his respiration. 
Finallyhe relaxed his stance 
And spoke without hesitation.

He said he finally realized 
Why he constantly broke down. 
“It is from all of the pressure 
And every goddamned frown. 
I feel emotionally isolated 
And stopped standing my ground.” 
Then he went completely silent 
And began a journey towards town.
