“Basically, we are all responsible for the preservation of our personal joy; but happiness is different. Joy is not circumstantial, happiness is. You can be depressed and still have joy. You can be suicidal and still have joy. We all stop thinking and we all stop talking and we all stop sharing and we all stop creating, because by doing any of these things we quickly find out just how unhappy we are. But that’s okay. That’s normal. Don’t let the fear of unhappiness cripple your pursuit of finding what it is you believe. Since joy is found in belief, we all have to push through unhappiness to find joy.”

What was I expecting?  Thunderous applause for my so-called wit?  I can be a terror of a person.  As my laughter at their expense is turning into a problem.

You need to understand that if ever I seem cold and unapproachable at first, it is only because I know that when I expose the true depths of my heart to you we will both be overwhelmed.

Simply, my heart breaks almost every night. 

Were I to tell you in plain language about the love and burden for you, you would write me off as a crazy person.

I am finally learning what compassion is and I am finding that hard to deal with.  Jesus looked at the multitudes and was moved with compassion and taught them and fed them.  I look at the multitudes and am moved with compassion and am overwhelmed and can only scream silently for them to be reached somehow.  Because I cannot teach them, feed them the way Jesus did.

O, Lord, find a way.

“This fire ignited in my heart desperately needs to get out.”

Christ in me is when I say something potentially offensive, but it does not ultimately deter from my witness. 

At the end of the day, Jesus is Jesus and that’s what I hope people see.  Not foolish words or mistakes. 

Because I never said I was perfect.  And I am positive that I unintentionally offend at least one person a day.

“It’s not that I am trying to be an overacheiver.
It’s that Jesus has given me a passion for something,
and I am doing my best to strive for excellence.”
