passionate urgency

“the life that is most powerfully lived is the one that finds passionate urgency fueled by a sense of destiny.  we must become.  this is both something we need and something we long for.”

“hope is the fuel through which we create the future.
when you give up on hope, you become paralyzed in the present and begin to live in the past.
if you are not looking toward the future, you do not have one.”

its a new day – robbie seay band

I’m gonna sing this song
To let you know that you’re not alone
And if you’re like me
You need hope, coffee, and melody
So sit back down
Let the world keep spinning ‘round
For yesterday’s gone and today is waiting on you to show your face

It might not be
The prettiest thing that you’ll ever see
But it’s a new day, oh baby, it’s a new day
And it might not look like
A beautiful sunrise
But it’s a new day, oh baby, it’s a new day

I’m a pilgrim soul
I’ve traveled far and come back home
This land is hard and cold
For those who long to love
And I know it might seem
That the world is crumbling
But it’s me and you dancing in the kitchen at 2 am
And we’re still alive

It’s the calm of the storm that comes blowing in
It’s the springtime saying I’m back again
The clouds that roll by
Crossing moonlight
Me and you love – everything’s alright
Standing in the rain with nowhere to go
Laughing and we’re spinning and I hope that you
Remember this day
For the rest of your life
Me and you love – everything’s gonna be alright

And it just might be
The prettiest thing that you’ll ever see
It’s a new day
Oh baby, it’s a new day
If you look outside
To see a beautiful sunrise
It’s a new day

live, laugh, love

“As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let you down probably will.
You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it’s harder every time.
You’ll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You’ll fight with your best friend.
You’ll blame a new love for things an old one did.
You’ll cry because time is passing too fast, and you’ll eventually lose someone you love.
So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you’ve never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back.”

my soul is screaming…

thank you!!!

thank you! thank you! thank you, rose!!!

real simple daily quote

 Time is a created thing. To say ‘I don’t have time,’ is like saying, ‘I don’t want to.’

— Lao-Tzu

brokenness

“our brokenness is not proof that God could not or would not love us, but proof that what we need is the God who both created us and loves us.  what our souls long to become is not something other than human, but to become beautifully human.”
