When Beauty is Toxic

By Christina

IMG_6389The Amanita Muscaria is a mushroom that is beautiful to behold but can be very toxic. Not fatal but it can cause sickness. A lot of things in life we note as beautiful yet they can be dangerous and actually cause sickness. What about the things that we want that are beautiful but that are not for us.

I woke this morning and immediately read Proverbs 31. This is the passage on the virtuous woman. What is a virtuous [conforming to moral and ethical principles; morally excellent; upright] woman? What does she possess? What gives her virtue, an effective force, an influence or power?  Continue reading

Live LOVE Laugh

By Christina

contemporary-display-and-wall-shelvesI have seen these three interchangeably.
Some write Live, laugh, Love.
Laugh, Love, Live.
Live, Love, Laugh.

I prefer the one with ‘Love’ in the middle because I think it is the center of everything. Everyone wants love. Love aside from several other emotions is one of the strongest. An article from Livestrong.com states 7 of the strongest and lists LOVE for last. They are Joy, Anger, Anxiety, Surprise, Trust, Grief, Fear and Love.  Continue reading

A Friend Loves

By Christina

A Friend Loves At All Times

image

I love that scripture, it bears so much truth…

Friends never change with each other
They grow with each other
Time is meaningful, always worthwhile
There is never envy, but rejoicing within
Your never afraid to be yourself
You share what’s on your heart
Trust is present and never any doubt
When they speak you learn even more
They teach you something valuable
Time passes so quick when your with them
Because your not mindful of your clock
Boredom doesn’t exist ever because there is always something to share
Even silence is golden
Just sharing one by one
If time has passed between them it never hinders the friendship
Smiles are exchanged
Love is always present
They encourage one another
And they are not afraid to be weaker
For words to uplift will always spill through Continue reading

Today is My Friday

By Christina

FridayI am so happy because today is my Friday! I just started a new compressed schedule for the summer that was offered here at work. This would mean that I complete my full hours of work in 4 days instead of 5, so that I can have every Friday off. I am not going to sugar coat how this first week has been because it really takes time to adjust myself to wake up earlier. Everyone that I shared this with, told me to go for it and said, “You are going to love having the extra day off”. The days are a bit longer but by the end of the week it will be worth having that extra day off. So today is my Friday and I am excited! I made it! One week through–here we go! Time to rejoice.
