back to the basics of love.



[this was taken a while back.]

"therefore women please stop obsessive dysfunctional wicked love"

i made that out of those word blocks that you can make sentences out of.

if you think about it, what it says is true.

a lot of women and men do not know how to love. they think love is about having sex.

well thats NOT true.

love is when a mother and father have their first child.

love is watching a parent hold on to their mentally/physically challenged child when they know that the child does not have much longer to live.

love is taking care of the homeless and broken.

love is adopting a child.

love is giving someone a hug when he or she is crying.

love is more than words can say.

love is more than just a feeling.

love is more than you and i could ever imagine.

love is God sending his son Jesus to die on the cross to save our sins so that we may not die but have eternal life.

love is the nail pierced hands.

love is the blood stained cross.

love is the empty tomb.

love is what people long for.

so will you stop this wicked nasty sexual love?

and get back to the REAL meaning of love?

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NLT)

"4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance."

what will you do?

actually its more like "what would Jesus do?"

land of confusion.



[this was taken in june/july of last year on mission trip.]

so i have been debating on whether or not to post this one. because the lyrics to this song that i want to share may or may not offend people. but i feel like it is time now that i put this up. but first let me share what God has laid on my heart to share.

here we have a torn and tattered shoe, not two shoes, just ONE.
will we ever have enough love to buy a new pair of shoes for someone?
or will we just walk on by not caring?

as christians we are supposed to care for those who are in need.

Matthew 25:40
40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’

so have you acted like a REAL christian or have you forgotten that this world is so messed up and needs help?

i could not agree more with these lyrics.
a lot of people rather comfort themselves than comfort someone who is simply crying.
i do not know whether to laugh or cry at how blind people are to the pain and destruction of this world.
when will people wake up and realize something needs to be done?
actually the real question is when will people start to CARE?





Land of Confusion by Genesis

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street.

Now did you read the news today
They say the dangers gone away
But I can see the fires still alight
There burning into the night.

Theres too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Cant you see
This is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands were given
Use them and lets start trying
To make it a place worth living in.

Ooh superman where are you now
When every things gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour.

This is the time
This is the place
So we look for the future
But theres not much love to go round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands were given
Use them and lets start trying
To make it a place worth living in.

I remember long ago -
Ooh when the sun was shining
Yes and the stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago -

I wont be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
Were not just making promises
That we know, well never keep.

Too many men
Theres too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Cant you see
This is a land of confusion.

Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands were given
Use them and lets start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for.

This is the world we live in
And these are the names were given
Stand up and lets start showing
Just where our lives are going to.

untitled.



[taken december 26 2007 at lupe tortilla of my niece.]

have you ever felt like you cant see whats going on around you and you feel like everything is backwards?

(if you say no, then something is wrong with you.) =]

as i was standing there with my camera i see my niece sitting backwards on that cow. so i walked up to her and she asked me if i could help her down and so i did. then the question came to mind "who put her on there backwards?"

the point i am trying to make is life can get too hectic to realize where you are and how you got there.

it even happens to me too, like i will get caught up in the world and ending up having a moment where reality will sink in and i would be left with the question "how did i get here?"

i found that when i spend time with God and focus on him and let him guide me where i should go, then i know how i got to where i would be.

so if i am not focusing on God everything goes wrong and everything is backwards and confusing.

so what is it like for you?

if you are confused and lost, try going to God and focusing on him.

he will pick you up and help you if you ask him to.

everything is so much clearer when i let God be God and guide me where i should go.

i just pray that you would do the same thing.

getting caught up in the world is a dangerous thing.

i dont want you to lose your way in the world.

just think about it.

i will pray about it.

the more i seek you.




[i took this a while back but cropped it to where my eye was showing.]

i am going to do something different.

yes, i have done somethings like this before but this time this is a worship song.

please please contemplate on the lyrics and listen to the music.

please come with a prayerful heart mind and soul.



the more i seek you by kari jobe

The more i seek you,
the more i find you
The more i find you, the more I love you

C:I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath, here your heart beat
This love is so deep, it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming
(From Top)

Chorus:4x
