"I've made a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing." -Neil Gaiman-

Hello 2010,
I'm glad that you've made it. 2009 seemed so short it's crazy. I can vividly remember the beginning of last year and yet, it's already a year ago. wow. 2010, I pray that you will be a good year. Not the way the world would define "good." I pray that I will grow to be more like Christ this year. I pray that I will learn to trust Him in all circumstances even when it seems bleak. I pray for peace of mind and strength. I'm a little glad for 2009 to be gone. I learned a lot from it but it was a rough year. I wouldn't change anything about it though because you learn from mistakes and triumphs and hardships. I just pray that this year, 2010 will be better. That I will utilize what I learned, by the grace of God, in 2009. With God beside me I know I can take anything that you have to offer, 2010 so bring it on!

"More love to Thee, oh Christ, more love to Thee. Hear thou the prayer I make on bended knee. This is my earnest plea, more love, oh Christ, to thee. More love to Thee, more love to Thee."

"The world behind me the cross before me, no turning back, no turning back..."

"The key is to get to know people and trust them to be who they are. Instead, we trust people to be who we want them to be- and when they're not, we cry."
