Love Lost - The Temper Trap - Plus a little something, something.

When I first tuned my ears to this single, I immediately thought this was another typical relationship/break-up song. However, as time moved quickly, I got to know the band a little more and found myself to realize that this song had much more of a meaning behind it, rather than your very own relationship/break-up song we hear everywhere. Meanwhile, I knew that this song wasn't what everyone interrupted it to be, for I had a little voice who spoke to me saying that this song was written by one man who had a secret desire to spread the word of a Love greater than any other man has to offer. It's kind of little hidden secrets we can catch if we seek. For I am going to be giving a verse describing purely what couldn't been said any better.

Colossians 2:2, Paul the apostle says "My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ."

When the verse came across the words 'encouraged in heart and united in love', I began to think about the struggles He made for us to get to know Him personally (prime example: the Bible). He knows everything about us, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, as written, but in order to have a relationship with Him, to be united in love, we have to get to know Him also. Earthly relationships that we have with people we love knowing all about us, but we knowing nothing about them, Nada, just doesn't work. So with that said, Why the heck do we still not give a hoot?! I don't really know you might reply, but the reason why, comes all the way back to fear. Fear to love. Fear of rejection. God has such a great love for the nonbelievers, atheists, agnostics and all living, breathing human beings on this planet that He gave His one and only son to die for us. Surrender and flash your hearts, He won't reject or mistreat it. He will take a quick glance, grab it, and cherish it. So wave high your white flags for He is searching and making you the person you were meant to be.

He's always there, ready. waiting for you to take that first step towards Him. He yearns for us to come home, and promises not to leave us dry.

In the song, lyrics are written...

"Our love was lost,

But now we've found it,

and if you flash your heart

I won't deny it

I promise (I promise)

Your walls are up too cold to touch it,
Your walls are up too high to climb

I know it's hard but I can still hear it beating,
So if you flash you heart,
I won't mistreat it
I promise (I promise)"

This part of the song gave me the chills, massive chills up and down my arms. For sure.

It's painting time

Every time I walk into a catholic church, I look straight to the ceiling and imagine the devotion that they had for that church. It's absolutely breath-taking the details that they've put into a place where they might of called their home.

Tonight is a special night. I will be painting my 4th major painting. This painting is inspired by visions, objects and all in between. I'm quite excited to be painting again throughout all this time I missed it. Hello paint brushes, and Good-Bye loud surroundings, for I am all His tonight.

You buy Popcorn, I'll buy the Pop. Baby, were off to see a movie!

Once upon a time, saw this on my dear beloved theater screen a month ago at the nearest cinema.

I was more than thrilled, viewing the first couple of seconds when I saw Rachel McAdams. For those who don't know, she's my second celebrity obsession. (James Franco is first of course.)

I loved her in 'The Notebook' and liked just her performance itself in the 'Time Traveler's Wife' and so I am eager to see her performance in this upcoming film.

It looks funny, cute, but yet sad. Just you're regular chick flick, with maybe a twist?

We will just have to see.

p.s. I quite enjoy Natasha Bedingfield's new song 'Strip Me'. Just a note.

Lazy Days

Today was lazy. So was yesterday too. 3 days now actually. When I mean lazy, I mean lazy.

I didn't put any make-up on and I piratically stayed in Pj's the whole time watching television series and films. Now don't get me wrong, I sure as heck enjoyed the time that I had without using any effort out of my day, but I believe I had enough already.

Now I'm off to work in an hour. crap.

Meet my dream car.

isn't she a beaut?

Vintage Inspired Wedding

This wedding is as romantic as you can picture it to be. What seems to be in a old wine field placed in Italy, is not. It was held at the Murrieta's Well Winery in Livermore, California.

This couple did an absolutely amazing job of planning their own wedding to have a vintage and rustic feel to it. From the lighting to the photographer, every item bought to make this a magical wedding that they can remember.

Vintage details such as the dark wood wine barrels, vintage books and wine crates, burlap flowers tied around mason jars, bouquets that were filled with these wood flowers and white peonies, personalized CD with song that express their love, self crafted invitations and paper goods.

I love the idea of the bridesmaids choosing their own dresses, as long as it fitted the theme of the wedding and the color was picked. They wouldn't have to worry about one style not fitting them. It's a great way to express each of their personal style.

And we could not forget the brides dress! the dress just completed the wedding. The ivory colored A-lined cut, and the sweetheart neckline was beautiful dress for her figure. The lace gave the dress a more elegant feel, but still kept up to the vintage theme. Her shoes and finished accessories made quite the statement also. She choose a simple birdcage veil to accentuate her dress instead of it being the focus.

A chunky necklace, diamond studded earrings, and a pair of gold sequin shoes with rhinestones were incredible with the gown. I give 10 stars to this wedding. Now let's see if I can come up with a wedding like this with my future husband.

Lipstick Sadness

So it's coming to a end for my favorite, perfect ice pale pink color lipstick.

I just discovered that they no longer sell Pink Flora by Lancome that I want.

Highly disappointed.

It was the color I was dreaming of. It also just happens to be that it applies smoothly against my lips. I thought it always gave me a vavavoom reaction towards my lips.

If not, I sure as heck believed it.

To Face Fear

Ever been so lost? Lost in all thought, in all emotion, in all presence. Lost that everything feels numb, that even the thought of a minute ahead in time creeps underneath your skin, and you have nothing to run to due to where you believe you're standing nowhere. I have. For a day, a month, a year, and maybe even a couple. They are one of the most terrifying experiences I faced in my lifetime. And it just so happened to be that I felt like that two days ago. I'm talking about being Lost in Fear.

Fear takes over everything your life if you let it. It has a greater impact on our souls than we ever imagined. Not just in us, but everywhere in the world we walk into. We see fear, eat fear, hear fear, and smell fear. Fear is everywhere. It's what's consuming each and one of us everyday without realizing it.

My greatest fear is the Future. The fear of where I might be, Who I might be, What I might be, With who I might be, and how it will all be. Fear that I won't have enough time to figure out what I'm called to do next, before it's too late. My struggle is the walls that I created around me that hold me here from jumping over.

Fear with confusion.

But my greatest fear of all is for my Generation. A Generation that was never made to fall away. A generation that was never to fear a face and a love of He who brought them to this world. Everyday, I look at my surroundings and see nothing more than people living stereo-typical lives, when they were made for greatness. It terrs my heart to see such greatness fall through as time goes, and see evil conquer. I see shining hearts, hearts made for leadership, hearts made for worship, hearts made to touch, and hearts made to reach. But it all goes back to a choice. A choice rather to follow our earthly desires or a choice to find our calling and change everything around us.

I've been told several times before, along with other prophecies that I was a young heart of God who is going to blossom into a leader that will lead our nation into Christ. Lead our nation? that is aw-hole lot of people. If only sometimes it was as easy as to a snap of your fingers. But the world doesn't quite work like that.

Fear with imagination.

We have to practice and face our fear face-to-face, and soon realize that behind every fear there is nothing there. Nothing but a blank canvas. We have to take that extra step forward and have hope and faith that we will succeed in which we were destined to do. Make a goal! take a goal for yourself everyday, (it can be a small one) and try to accomplish it.

"That you and I were made for this,

I was made to taste your kiss,

We were made to never fall away,

Never fall away."

Every Time

Every time I feel inspired to write a blog, I can't. I'm never around my computer and a quit place to write one. It sucks. And once I'm at a computer, all the thoughts I had to write on my next blog disappear. it sucks more. BIG TIME. So to further adieu, I'll will write my next blog very soon. Hopefully.
