Love

By: Priscilla Velez

Love is something to be treated loosely

I will no longer believe that

Love is precious and eternal

I  believe

Love is momentary

How can you say

“The world moves for love”

In fact

Love is unreachable

I disagree with when I used to say that

“Love is a fire burning in my heart that can’t be extinguished”

Love

Can be destroyed by

Hate

I am now sure

Love is deceiving and unrealistic

And I now know that there is no way that

“Love was just around the corner”

I couldn't forget if I wanted to

Who brought me to this realization

It was someone who I once loved

(Now read in reverse)

Almost Over

I dedicated so much space to this picture because it is so beautiful, and creative. 

       It is almost over. The year, the school year. My book is almost done editing, then I can get an original copy. I am so excited for everything. Wohoo. This year will hopefully prove to be a edifying one. I've just been doing school, and trying my hardest to stay on pace. Failing once or twice lol. But I am making it. I heard this song and it was really nice, but I am just going to rip one or two lines from the song. I heard those lyrics and I was like wow. Beast lyrics :D

Falling Up
Who You Are

Who you are is golden
Who are is has always been enough
Who you are is such a miracle
You're such a miracle

The Poem

I, You, We

You wanna change the future

Then you have to change who you are first

You can't change the future unless you change who you are

If you don't change who you are,

Then don’t expect the future to change for you.

Life will repeat its pattern on you

And you will make the same mistakes

If you don’t change who you are.

I wanna change the future

Then I have to change who I am first

I can't change the future unless I change who I am

If I don't change who I am,

Then I can’t expect the future to change for me.

Life will repeat its pattern on me

And I will make the same mistakes

If I don’t change who I am.

I want the future to be better

But I concoct  images of the future being something my past could never be

I try to relive my past through my future

The circumstances recreate themselves and I make the same mistakes I made in my past

Maybe if I stop trying to do it on my own

I will change

You will change

Because you can't change your future until you change who you are

Because I can’t change my future until I change who I am

You can’t change my future until you change who you are

I can’t change your future until you change who you are

So I wanna Change

Do You wanna Change

We can change Change our future

If we change who we are

Happy New Year

      Hey! I know New Years already happened, and I kind of missed the date. But I'm back and blogging, now if I'm back in full affect I don't know. However HAPPY NEW YEARS. Wow it is already 2014, and the first thing I am going to say is, "Thank You Jesus For Another Year!" because seriously I think sometimes it gets overlooked that we are living another day. So 2014...wow feels weird saying. So far spiritually this year has been a blast. Since January 1st I have been further learning that Jesus is definitely someone you can lean on. God has so much love for us, it's unrealistic, but yet he does. I was reading Isaiah, as well as Zechariah, and I finished them both, and those books just show how much God loves us. 

   So I am definitely learning how to fully put my love, and trust in God. Also to accept the love that God has to give me, and to be more reliant on it. So God is definitely doing a work in me, so that is so exciting. I'm exciting because I know that God is not done with me yet, and he still has so much more planned for me, and that is so cool. Whenever I read God's word and something is revealed to me, it feels so awesome. 

    I personally love learning about God, and I love reading his words, and everything he does. It is so beautiful. For this New Year one thing you can do is put your life and trust in Jesus. Honestly he is the only one that can fill the void, and be everything that everyone else falls short of. We are mad, blessed to have someone out there that is Perfect. Because if it was only humans, without God. I'd be a wreck, I'd have nothing to lean on, no hope, nothing. And that is just one of the gatrillion reasons that God is awesome. 

    So I'm praying for you guys, that your hearts would turn to Jesus. The only thing in this world worth turning to. As I live life, I see that people will fail you, and they won't be everything you want them to be.That's why when it says in Psalms 188:8 "It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man." it means a whole bunch. Because Jesus is that rock that will never move, and he is the faithful bride. The one that keeps loving you even after you have mess up a trillion times. Even thou you rejected him, hated him, spat on him, and disobeyed everything that he has every put down, he still loves you, and calls you his child, his people, his bride, his love.

   God even goes so far as to tell his chosen people in Zechariah 2:8 "For thus said the LORD of hosts, after his glory sent me to the nations who plundered you, for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye:" Mad crazy, I read the verse in the night, and almost cried. Because in my mind I am trying to understand how the creator of the universe...GOD, would say such a thing, as me being the apple of his eye. I woke up in the morning, and that verse was literally playing around in my head, it was my first thought, no joke. It's crazy, but beautiful. God is so beautiful. 

-Love my savior so much more as I dive into his word!-

Oh yeah! Before a go he is a quick verse to chew on!

Isiah 51:11-13

"11 The ransomed of the LORD will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away. 12 "I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you that you fear mortal men, the sons of men, who are but grass, 13 that you forget the LORD your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth, that you live in constant terror every day because of the wrath of the oppressor, who is bent on destruction? For where is the wrath of the oppressor?"

God's awesome! BYE! XD

December Almost Gone!

    Oh snap today is already December 22nd we all know what is happening on December 25th! Christmas as well as the day we acknowledge Jesus's birthday, and all that good stuff. On Christmas I will make a blog on all that, so let me now spoil that now. Any who, I just looked at the date, and I saw that it was already December 22nd. So yeah. Today was church, had some good times. I woke up at 6:00, and had mad little sleep, so I feel so achy, and tired. Funny how the whole entire time in church, I didn't feel tired, or nothing. Then as soon as we go home, I feel this tiredness swoop over me, and hunger. Then I remember I hardly had any sleep, and didn't eat anything.
    I can't believe this year is already almost over. 2014 hear we come, or more so hear I come. I don't think I have any "New Year's Resolutions" at least if I do I don't know about it yet. This year did go by real quick, at least it felt quick. 2012 felt super long for me, it was as if that year was eternal. A lot has happened in 2013, and it's cool. Normally I look forward to December because it is so cold, or at least it's moderately cold. However this year, it wasn't cold hardly. We had two days of a cold front, and even that wasn't that cold. However when those days did come by I was mad thankful, so I didn't take them for granted. I tried to go outside as much as possible, and use up every ounce of the cold that I could. So hopefully I'm praying it gets cold in January.
Well that is all I had to write about today!
Goodbye December, Hello January.
Bye!

DBA

I took a DBA today, and I was so worried that I wouldn't do good. Like I was mad nervous, but today I took it, and I got 29/30. I felt like the girl above, mad happy. So I figured I'd share my good news. Feeling pretty beast right about now XD.

-Wohoo!-
