Don't Quit ...



"When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
  When the road you're trudging seems all up hill
  When the funds are low and the debts are high
  And you want to smile, but you have to sigh
  When care is pressing you down a bit
  Rest if you must, but don't you quit
  Life is queer with it's twist and turns
  As every one of us sometimes learns
  And many a failure turns about
  When he might have won had he stuck it out
  Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
  You may succeed with another blow
  Success is failure turned inside out--
  The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
  And you never can tell how close you are
  It may be near when it seems so far
  So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
  It's when things seem worse that you must not quit."


-Don't Quit by Edgar A. Guest

An unexpected turn..

            Sometimes we don't understand why God allows tragedies to happen. But we know that he is compassionate God who never makes mistakes. He allows things to take place within His perfect will. When life delivers an unexpected blow, God is still in control.
            Although I can't always understand why I face hardships and experience unexpected turns. But I can stand firmly on God who said " I will never leave you nor forsake you".God is in control, no matter what's happening in my life. He's there, He cares and loves. Always has, always will be and I do believe He can change unexpected turns into meaningful diversion.
                    
                Have Faith, Be strong.
My prayer:
Lord, you know me inside and out. You know about my pain and distress,you understand the fears of my heart. 
Lord, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.  For when I am weak, then I am strong. My heart is broken and my spirit mourns but all I know is that Your grace is sufficient. This day, this hour, moment by moment, I choose to lean on YouThank you for teaching me to always trust in You. Give me strength. Help me to keep my eyes focused on You. I trust in You, oh Lord. For you are my rock!  Help me not to worry, for You are in control. Though I am weak, You will make me strong!  I love you, Lord!  In Jesus name. Amen.♥


Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you.

    I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.

Isaiah 41:10

Date a girl who writes.

Lets-write-something-writing-4545938-1024-768_large
                              




                      Date a girl who may never wear completely clean clothes, because of coffee stains and ink spills. She’ll have many problems with her closet space, and her laptop is never boring because there are so many words, so many worlds that she’s cluttered amidst the space. Tabs open filled with obscure and popular music. Interesting factoids about Catherine the Great, and the immortality of jellyfish. Laugh it off when she tells you that she forgot to clean her room, that her clothes are lost among the binders so it’ll take her longer to get ready, that her shoes hidden under the mountain of broken Bic pens and the refurbished laptop that she’s saved for ever since she was twelve. Kiss her under the lamppost, when it’s raining. Tell her your definition of love.

         Find a girl who writes. You’ll know that she has a sense of humor, a sense of empathy and kindness, and that she will dream up worlds, universes for you. She’s the one with the faintest of shadows underneath her eyelids, the one who smells of coffee and Coca-cola and jasmine green tea. You see that girl hunched over a notebook. That’s the writer. With her fingers occasionally smudged with charcoal, with ink that will travel onto your hands when you interlock your fingers with her. She will never stop, churning out adventures, of traitors and heroes. Darkness and light. Fear and love. That’s the writer. She can never resist filling a blank page with words, whatever the color of the page is.
         She’s the girl reading while waiting for her coffee and tea. She’s the quiet girl with her music turned up loud (or impossibly quiet), separating the two of you by an ocean of crescendos and decrescendos as she’s thinking of the perfect words. If you take a peek at her cup, the tea or coffee’s already cold. She’s already forgotten it.Use a pick-up line with her if she doesn’t look to busy.If she raises her head, offer to buy her another cup of coffee. Or of tea. She’ll repay you with stories. If she closes her laptop, give her your critique of Tolstoy, and your best theories of Hannibal and the Crossing. Tell her your characters, your dreams, and ask if she gotten through her first novel.

           It is hard to date a girl who writes. But be patient with her. Give her books for her birthday, pretty notebooks for Christmas and for anniversaries, moleskins and bookmarks and many, many books. Give her the gift of words, for writers are talkative people, and they are verbose in their thanks. Let her know that you’re behind her every step of the way, for the lines between fiction and reality are fluid.She’ll give you a chance.Don’t lie to her. She’ll understand the syntax behind your words. She’ll be disappointed by your lies, but a girl who writes will understand. She’ll understand that sometimes even the greatest heroes fail, and that happy ending takes time, both in fiction and reality. She’s realistic. A girl who writes isn’t impatient; she will understand your flaws. She will cherish them, because a girl who writes will understand plot. She’ll understand that endings happen for better or for worse.

        A girl who writes will not expect perfection from you. Her narratives are rich, her characters are multifaceted because of interesting flaws. She’ll understand that a good book does not have perfect characters; villains and tragic flaws are the salt of books. She’ll understand trouble, because it spices up her story. No author wants an invincible hero; the girl who writes will understand that you are only human.Be her compatriot, be her darling, her love, her dream, her world.

          If you find a girl who writes, keep her close. If you find her at two AM, typing furiously, the neon gaze of the light illuminating her furrowed forehead, place a blanket gently on her so that she does not catch a chill. Make her a pot of tea, and sit with her. You may lose her to her world for a few moments, but she will come back to you, brimming with treasure. You will believe in her every single time, the two of you illuminated only by the computer screen, but invincible in the darkness.
She is your Shahrazad. When you are afraid of the dark, she will guide you, her words turning into lanterns, turning into lights and stars and candles that will guide you through your darkest times. She’ll be the one to save you.She’ll whisk you away on a hot air balloon, and you will be smitten with her. She’s mischievous, frisky, yet she’s quiet and when she has to kill off a lovely character, when she cries, hold her and tell her that it will be alright.You will propose to her. Maybe on a boat in the ocean, maybe in a little cottage in the Appalachian Mountains. Maybe in New York City. Maybe Chicago. Baltimore. Maybe outside her publisher’s office. Because she’s radiant, wherever she goes. Maybe even outside of a cinema where the two of you kiss in the rain. She’ll say that it is overused and clichéd, but the glint in her eyes will tell you that she appreciates it all the same.You will smile hard as she talks a mile a second, and your heart will skip a beat when she holds your hand and she will write stories of your lives together. She’ll hold you close and whisper secrets into your ears. She’s lovely, remember that. She’s self made and she’s brilliant. Her names for the children might be terrible, but you’ll be okay with that. A girl who writes will tell your children fantastical stories. Because that is the best part about a girl who writes. She has imagination and she has courage, and it will be enough. She’ll save you in the oceans of her dreams, and she’ll be your catharsis and your 11:11. She’ll be your firebird and she’ll be your knight, and she’ll become your world, in the curve of her smile, in the hazel of her eye the half-dimple on her face, the words that are pouring out of her, a torrent, a wave, a crescendo - so many sensations that you will be left breathless by a girl who writes.Maybe she’s not the best at grammar, but that is okay.

         Date a girl who writes because you deserve it. She’s witty, she’s empathetic, enigmatic at times and she’s lovely. She’s got the most colorful life. She may be living in NYC or she may be living in a small cottage. Date a girl who writes because a girl who writes reads. 

         A girl who writes will understand reality. She’ll be infuriating at times, and maybe sometimes you will hate her. Sometimes she will hate you too. But a girl who writes understands human nature, and she will understand that you are weak. She will not leave on the Midnight Train the first moment that things go sour. She will understand that real life isn’t like a story, because while she works in stories, she lives in reality. Date a girl who writes. 

Because there is nothing better than a girl who writes.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years. The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her 
heart, the place where love resides.♥

“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often 
find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to 
share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be 
silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and 
bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our 
powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.” 

― Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Road to Daybreak: A Spiritual Journey
