Freckles Are The New Diamonds!




Come out of the shadows! I hate it that you stay in the shadows. I hate that you can conceal yourself in this way. Why do we play these games? Why do we work this way? You see me. I see you. You think you know me. I think I know you. Now remove the vale.
What if you knew your own power? What if you understood what few others do? What if you decided to choose a life demure? What if you chose to live the life less than who you were? What could possibly motivate this type of action in a person? What is so great that a person would give up his own ability? It would first of all have to be something greater than himself. Could that be another? How can another person be greater than one’s self? Any human has the ability to be greater than another at one time or another. So would he be willing to live this life less lived for a human whom only at times was greater than he? Seems foolish. No, it could not be a reason, or a motivation, or a drive with in another. That would not last long. Only one thing could cause this man to live a life lesser… God. Nothing else can work. No one else can motivate him to give up the reward of his own abilities. Nothing is greater than the reward of his own abilities than the reward that is unaccomplished by his own abilities. The only things out a true man’s reach are the things held in God’s hands. So he sheds off his former life and does not turn around to what his self could have possibly brought him, for it can not compare to that in the hand that is reaching out for him.

I LOVE this pic.
I definitley think the only thing to give up oneself for is for God. Because by doing so we become better than we ever "really" could have been without. Though the humanness (is that a word) in us makes us long for what we think we could have accomplished without giving oneself up to that.

Jecca,
You thinking is right on key. :)

Silly,
You're the most horrible thief ever! You don't tell people you're going to steal something. You just do it! Some times I wonder how anyone from brooklyn makes it in this world. :P
