Love this! written by Tanya Amidei

Public Declaration; I NO longer believe in falling/being in love: As I was walking to work this morning I was convicted and reproved for ignorantly believing that I could "fall in love". Love is NOT something you fall into; this pulsing truth wouldn't silence. Now, you can imagine how I felt as the conviction in my heart arose; slightly defensive because certainly I've been defining love properly, right? So, I decided that it was my responsibility to pierce into the Word of my Father, and search to see if this concept of "falling in love" or "being in love" is something that I should indeed attach my life to. Now, it was to my surprise that this concept of emotional intoxication that motivates the lips to part and the tongue to say "I'm in love" is NOWHERE to be found! In fact, as I dug into research I found that this concept; the one I've been guilty of co-signing my name to, is nothing more than lust. Lust is built on what the other person does for me, not what I can do for him or her. If the other person fails to keep up his end of the bargain, the relationship is broken because the offended mate is no longer pleased. This is the reality of the attitude of our cultures so-called "love." I know nothing, I am not perfect, and on my own I cannot even love myself properly, let alone someone else. Therefore, if all life comes down to love, if the hearts of people have a undying desire for love, if I was created in the image of Love, then that tells me I must carefully seek out the proper definition of the very thing that I, along with all of you, desire; love. With that being said; God's love loves without receiving back; God's love is forgiving and patient. God's love is gentle and kind. God's love waits. God's love sacrifices. His love corrects. His love elevates. His love refines. His love works for the ultimate good of His people. Therefore, we should take note that man's (human beings) emotions are not a reliable gauge upon which we can lay a lasting foundation; emotions or "falling in love" is VERY temporary, nor are they strong enough to weather the storms that we will encounter as we bravely and vulnerably choose to love another imperfect being; emotions not strong enough to maintain a lasting relationship. Therefore, I have concluded that we owe it to ourselves to ensure that we are properly defining love, because through our definition we shall embrace the lives of others; impacting for good or for bad. Today I also acknowledge my personal limitation, and therefore I choose not to trust my limited imperfect comprehension, but rather I choose to trust ONE rock, ONE source of strength, and the ONE who holds the key to a LOVE pure and selfless; Elohei Avraham, Elohei Yitzchak ve Elohei Ya`aqov, El Olam. That's all I have to say. Have a wonderful Thursday!

i am not so naive

Sometime I wish people would learn not to underestimate me. When I want to get somewhere or get something accomplished I am very capable of doing so. Of course there are always limitations and set backs but I know how to push through it. I lived in a time where our money was tight and we had very little but we made it through.. Just because I am where I am today and don't look like i have ever had to fight my way out of the bottom doesn't mean anything. Looks can and are deceiving. Of course I don't believe in telling what most would call a "sob" story. I am not one who looks for a pity party.. But please know that I do know what it is like to go without in many aspects. I embrace that time in my life and it has taught me to be thankful of what I have. I will never forget it but I also will never return. Was it by choice and my own doing?? Of course not, who chooses to go without? Being born into it is one thing.. but staying in it is another. We all make decision...

negative challenge update #1

I know it has only been a day since I started this challenge, but let me tell you it is not easy. So far I have bit my tongue and have done a good job at not speaking anything out loud. My problem is in my head. It spins with words. I think that will be my roughest spot.. cleaning out my head. It is harder than you think. It's hard to shut off the thoughts that are trying to come out of your mouth.. But so far I can say I am doing better than I thought I would. I hope this can spread. :) sincerely [ME].
