Home

By -





Coming home feels as though everything is in its proper place. A familiar sense of settling takes root and for a certain number of moments all things belong where they are and right where they should be.

No matter where you wander, a few miles apart or halfway across the globe, as long as there are people there whom your heart beats for, that place will always be home.

But home is not just a 'where', is it? It could be a when, that pocket of time you enter into and find your moorings; or perhaps a series of whys, truths that free you; and maybe even a how, the specific way you are loved.

Home is where...
Home is when...
Home is why...
Home is how...
...we all should be.

Not Perfect But...

You could be her, little one. The girl with the perfect hair, who can drink coffee and not spill a single drop on her white dress, wear 6-inch stilettos and not trip, and put on makeup like a pro; you may not be her.  The girl with the perfect smile, who can write poems that make even the most unromantic swoon, hit the notes to a Whitney Houston song with the acuracy of Whitney herself, and dance like Beyonce; you may not be her.  The girl with the perfect personality, who says all the right words at the right time, cracks jokes that everybody finds funny, and is the life of any party; you may not be her.  The girl with the perfect attitude, who is never affected by the hurtful words of people who could care less about the feelings of others, is never peeved by inconsiderate commuters on the subway, and is never annoyed at reckless drivers on the highway; you may not be her.  But... The girl with puffy eyes in the morning because she spent the night cryin

The Many Hues of Humility

Humility is a virtue that really can’t hurt you If you just let God search you, His Spirit will urge you To walk the path of the meek ones – in His eyes, they’re not the weak ones Your anointing will surely speak once you flow along with the Seeked One Submit to all His dealings, eschew all of those feelings Receive what He’s revealing, you are way past concealing His fire that burns within you, His love is on the menu Your heart is now the venue for meekness, strength and then you Will take the oil of gladness to drive away the sadness Eradicate the madness of pride -- the devil can't stand this As you walk clothed in nobility He will give you the ability To make pride a thing of history -- that's the power of humility It's the kind that draws the attention of God and not to mention Humility is a warrior's weapon -- go forth to war, God beckons! Go, gift of God, go boldly! Go walk road of the lowly Embrace the Father's love wholly

I Choose You, Still

This is a loose English translation of the beautiful poem written by Juan Miguel Severo which he penned (mostly) in Tagalog. You can read his original work here: Pipiliin Kita . ----- I Choose You, Still Love is not blind. The eyes of true love can see through anything and clearer than anyone; so I thank you, thank you for truly seeing and fully knowing me - the good, the bad, and everything in between - and loving me anyway. I see you too - your beauty and all your mess - and I hope that you know I love you just as much. As those who have loved and lost come to mind, I've come to grips with the truth that it is stupid and foolhardy to demand perfection from love, from myself, or from anyone. By and by, I've realized that everyone is flawed and loves imperfectly. The question I needed to answer was not whether I could find someone ideal and faultless but whether I could find that one person whose warts, wrinkles, and flaws I could see and yet ch
