Noah: Would you just stay with me?
Allie: Stay with you? What for? Look at us, we’re already fighting.
Noah: Well, that’s what we do. We fight. You tell me when I’m being an arrogant son of a b—- and I tell you when you’re being a pain in the a–. Which you are 99% of the time. I’m not afraid to hurt your feelings. They have like a two second rebound rate and you’re back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.
Allie: So, what?
Noah: So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s gonna be really hard. And we’re gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that, because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, every day.

Being schooled by my six yr old is great fun! lol

Me (to my Mom): yeah James likes this show, it’s about a little chinese girl named, “Ni Hao Kai-Lan”.
James: uhh, mommy, her name is Kai-Lan, “Ni Hao” means “Hello” in Chinese.

Geeze I knew that (I promise June!), I just phrased it incorrectly, haha.

Nevertheless, I’m pretty proud of my offspring. He’s one smart little dude!

I love when mainstream bands aren’t afraid to show their reverence:

by Carolina Liar

Wait, I’m wrong
Should have done better than this
Please, I’ll be strong
I’m finding it hard to resist
So show me what I’m looking for

Save me, I’m lost
Oh Lord, I’ve been waiting for you
I’ll pay any cost
Save me from being confused
Show me what I’m looking for… oh Lord

Don’t let go
I’ve wanted this far too long
Mistakes become regrets
I’ve learned to love abuse
Please show me what I’m looking for

Save me, I’m lost
Oh Lord, I’ve been waiting for you
I’ll pay any cost
Just save me from being confused
Wait, I’m wrong
I can’t do better than this
I’ll pay any cost
Save me from being confused… oh Lord.

I know this is mainly a Christmas movie, but the message and song that closes it, is pretty appropriate for the New Year I think. I pray we all have an amazing, prosperous, and blessed New 2009!!

Time, where did you go?
Why did you leave me here alone?
Wait, don’t go so fast.
I’m missing the moments as they pass.
Now I’ve looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer,
So wait for me this time.

I’m down I’m down on my knees I’m begging for all your sympathy.
But you, you don’t seem to care.
You humble people everywhere.
Now I’ve looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer.
I’ll take what you give me. Please know that I’m learning,
So wait for me this time.

I should’ve known better.
I shouldn’t have wasted those days.
And afternoons and mornings
I threw them all away.
Now this is my time,
I’m going to make this moment mine.
(I shouldn’t have wasted those days)
I’ll take what you give me.
Please know that I’m learning
I’ve looked in the mirror
My world’s getting clearer

So wait for me this time.

I love this week’s inclusion in the post secret blog

I received a text this morning from my friend Colleen, who not for the first time, has unknowingly reassured me that no matter how bleak things can be one day and great looking the next, God is always in control, and I just feel so comforted knowing that, especially during a very confusing time for me right now.

She sent everyone a great passage, from Hebrews, Ch 11:1….

.
ahh, it further cements my favorite motto. avere fiducia. have faith.

And then I hear this song for the first time today; such a great addition to that beautiful passage…

PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people
mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard.

haha, those who know me know that I LOVE these latest ones:

[have faith]

“I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. ”
Psalm 40:1

Thank You, Lord, not only for always being there to provide, but for giving me the strength and courage to always have faith.
