Through the calm and through the storm,

And I think this describes me fairly well.. haha.

What Your These Fireworks Say About You

You are deeply passionate about a few things in your life. Everything else, you couldn't care less about. Your passions tend to hold steady over time. If anything, they intensify. Once you hold on to something (or someone), you don't let go!

Love is a relationship. It's the deepest kind of friendship and a connection to a person that is unlike anything else. It's putting the other person before yourself. It's doing anything to please or help that person, whether it's something little and sweet or huge and life-changing. Love is never boring or hurtful and always brings joy and comfort, peace and wisdom, confidence and companionship, certainty and support. "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear..."(1)
Love looks different on everyone. There's the love you feel for somebody you want to spend the rest of your life with. There's the love you have for your family. There's the love you have for your friends. And most importantly, the selfless and neverending love of God. But it's always a relationship, always a friendship, always a connection that is different for every type of love. 

And no, I haven't always felt this way. Before I discovered the love my Lord Jesus Christ has for me, I didn't know love. The love I imagined and the love that I observed around me was beautiful on the outside, but it could be fleeting and selfish. I wanted love because I wanted the highs and the benefits of someone loving me. But without the real meaning of love... the relationship, the friendship, the connection, the selflessness... there is no satisfaction, and the high would ultimately spiral down into a low.
I haven't always known love, but I do know this now: "We love because He first loved us."(2)

If you're curious, that's Mariah and Tamara getting hit by water balloons, Tom, Biz and I working the slingshot, and Donna was filming. You can hear some commentary by her too. "Oh dear God why" and "I don't think we should do this anymore" among other things. Hahahah.

The answer to that question is and will remain a mystery.
So instead of sleeping, I stole this fun thing from my friend, enchantedstagey.

Post an anonymous comment. It can be about anything you want.
Got a secret that you're dying to share? Do so. I don't know who you are anyway.
Got something you've always wanted to tell me but didn't know how I would react? Do it. I won't know who to react to.
Feel like being completely random and leaving a nonsensical comment that I will study and wonder about until the day I die? Um.. okay. You can do that too, I guess.
Or just leave me commentless and sad. Whatever you want.

Everybody!

That's to get your attention.
My friends made a video for a dance contest that OK Go is putting on. It totally rocks. And everybody should go watch it, and rate it nice and high for them. Because if they win, they'll get to go to Las Vegas and dance on stage with the band!!!

And how exciting would that be?

So here's the link. Go and make me proud.

Just because.

Help this potato reach all fifty states. :)

I think that says it all. Don't worry about me not friending you, as long as you comment. Most likely I know you from somewhere, or we have something in common, so I'd be happy to add you. :)

So, peace..

(Thanks to elin_123_ for the friends only banner!)

Ohh.. fun.. I found this in some random journal.
Do it, if you'd like. Please. :)
