This is deep...

Current mood: thoughtful
Category: Life

i have a new favorite Scripture: "Be still, and know that I am God" Psalms 46:10 (i think all my favorite Scriptures come from Psalms for some reason...)

i looked up the word "still" on Crosswalk.com and it means to sink, relax, sink down, let drop, be disheartened, relax, withdraw, idle, to let go, to refrain, let alone, to be quiet, to show oneself slack

i have also recieved a massive revelation after watching the movie The Lake House last night. basically its about waiting for the right time and not doing anything meanwhile to mess it up (such as walking in front of the bus and getting killed)

lets put two and two together now... God is not in time... He sees all things, past, present and future. He knows the right time for everything. a right thing at the wrong time is a wrong thing. in the movie, the guy had to basically wait 2 years to be with the girl. he had no choice, it was the only way. had he not waited (or met someone else) they would/could not have been together. he seriously had to lay the relationship down (be still) for two whole years in order to see it come to pass (and know that I am God)

God doesnt need our help in making things happen. you know that saying, "God helps those that help themselves"? Well, in some cases i beg to differ. often when we get involved in "helping" God plan our life we only make things worse (stepping in front of the bus)

we truly need to "be still" in all of its definitions... lay it down, let it go, relax... hand it over to God and then watch Him be who He is - God... and work all things out for our good, and we will know that He is God. but we have to be still first.

sorry, unless you watched the movie this might make little sense, but if you watched it, you can appreciate these truths

Pride & Prejudice for Dummies

Current mood: mellow
Category: Romance and Relationships

so this weekend i went off on a Pride & Prejudice kick... I bought the new one and watched it (I've seen it 3 times now) and i rented the old one (5+ hours) and watched it. Result: I talk all wierd now lol but its actually really fun :)!

i hate dumb chick flicks with a passion, but as it turns out i have a weakness for romantic classics. yes, there's a HUGE difference!

so after watching 8 or so hours of P&P along with some other classic romances that shall remain unnamed, i can say that i do not blame guys for not not being able to sit through it. it's quite brutal... the drama, the emotions... things men do not handle well. however, it also remains true that such movies unlock a door to a woman's heart, so to help the guys out, here's what P&P tries to teach men about women in a nutshell:

If you like a girl, PERSUE HER!

Talk to her, ask her questions, do things for her that you would not normally do for others

Come to see her! Visit her, go where you know she is or will be. Your physical presense speaks far louder than any phone call, e mail or text message

Conspire to be around her as much as possible, introduce her to your family and friends and let her find out how well you speak of her

And last but not least: Declare your passionate love for her and ask her to marry you! haha lol ok maybe not right after the first date, but don't wait too long ;)!

Oh and don't be so quick to give up... sometimes your perseverence is what makes us fall oh so deeply in love with you...

Yea, I know, I rock... You can thank me later :)
