| chips and chocolate chips for breakfastTo me,
it seems that things are falling apart.
just when you thought things were bad enough, more is to come, all around the same time, its as if someone is saying: how much more can you take? lets see how you take this one, and this one too. lets see how you can stand, or can you stand?
but to me, things never seemed so strong to begin with.
someone once told me, or just told me today, that it is when you find yourself in the toughest storms, that you come to truly realize who you are.
And for me, it has been that way. It has also brought me to realize what im truly passionate or discontent with. It has brought me to what perhaps i am willing to die for.
what do we do when we're faced with hopelessness?
we begin to hope because theres no more hope to be lost.
what do we do when we see someone else cry?
we cry with them, because in one body, their tears or our tears.
what do we do when one of us is beaten down?
we stand up, to face and fight the beating because the one down will stand again to fight with us.
Because One is not a lonely number. One to me is plural.
and we shall be One crying out in the wilderness.
when One is multiplied by Nine, it becomes Nine
when One is multiplied by a Ten, it is Ten
Nine is not nine without One, or else it is Eight
One is not lonely, One is essential.
Every One, is important.
One needs One Another,
and One will give all of One self because One has nothing else to lose, and nothing else to give but all of One self.
I refuse to be One who is silent when we find ourselves in the wilderness.
I refuse to be One who looks upon itself, while Nine and Ten need me.
and if it costs me everything,
then i will be zero.
Because Zero,
is a Hero.

| haggai 1:12-15Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him. And the people feared the LORD. Then Haggai, the messenger of the LORD, spoke to the people with the LORD’s message, "I am with you, declares the LORD." And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and worked on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God, on the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king. | | |
| glue stick sticksi realize the world is full of sadness. well no i dont realize it, i know, its all around, the world is broken. we are broken. I'll make it a point that i usually dont like sharing sad thoughts, its not that i'm afraid to, but its just that it doesnt build anyone up, or build anything.
and just where do i begin?
family member getting laid off?
my grandpa in some serious life threatening situation?
some friends facing tough decisions, serious arguments with parents
things are just broken i guess. But then, it makes me think. I mean what really, is my place in all these things, when i see them? hear them? how do i respond, and do i respond? How do i respond when I'm feeling broken and down?
I like to sing. theres something about singing that releases those aching burdens in ur soul, when you "sing your heart out". But i guess this isnt the point of my entry, i'm really here to share my thoughts on who i believe i'm called to be in this world.
i think im called to be like glue.
i think we're called to be like glue.
and as glue holds things together, we hold each other, uplift each other, stick together.
i mean theres nothing great about glue except its function to be an adhesive.
but look what it can do when it embraces other things, holds other things. it gains form, function, purpose.
things break all the time, people break all the time. and im sure im gonna break down sometime, someday.
Dont get me wrong, i dont think the point is to be unbreakable and hard, i think the point is to realize our brokeness.
I mean this year is about to start (school year), and it already looks overwhelming, i step back from commitments only to find more commitments. Indeed we have so many choices to make in life, tough ones too.
i guess this is the part where i conclude things, but in all reality, things never really quite conclude do they? and not always so nicely either.
There is hope. there is love.
The truth of it all is, i need you, and you need me, and we need him, and he needs us, and she needs her and she needs him..etc
The other truth is that hope is in you and hope is in me
love is also in you and also in me.
and when you run dry?
i will love you,
and give you hope.
