Yes, I have changed the name of my blog, and the template. I decided that it was time for something new. Even though these will still be my thoughts and feelings. I felt compelled to rename it "Live and Love".As you already have seen.
The reasons why? Well, these days I've really been into love. Sounds rather weird, i know. But I have just been reminded more frequently how important it is, to love and be loved. I can't live without it.
To be loved has many benefits, and stronger self confidence is among them.
Then the live part...well I've also been reminded that I need to live..haha....yep...live. A life that is alive. Not dull and drab. Take chances, be daring, let loose and don't forget to smile and laugh along the way. Live and Love a life for God...Live and Love out Loud.
God Bless You!
Love

Fragile continued
Fragile:
1. easily broken, shattered, or damaged; delicate; brittle; frail: a fragile ceramic container; a very fragile alliance.
2. vulnerably delicate, as in appearance: She has a fragile beauty.
3. lacking in substance or force; flimsy: a fragile excuse.
Fragile things.
China cups...beautiful til broken.
Relationships... are most definitely fragile...ALL OF THEM...Family, friends and loves.
Like china cups, they are beautiful til broken.
Aren't you glad there is one relationship that can never be completely broken?
Even when we act like idiots and do stuff that almost anybody else would leave us for.
God doesn't leave.
*Sigh*
How beautiful is that?
It's so amazing how He keeps picking us back up and setting us back on the race track of life. Even though He knows we'll fall down again. It's just incredible.
We are so fragile, in yet God makes us strong.
As I put in my first Fragile post...
I live in a fragile world, ready to collapse at any moment..in yet I trust it not to, because God is holding my world together.
My world would be lying in pieces at my feet if He weren't holding it together.
Thankful.
Love to you all,

Quotes...
A collaboration of quotes I want my friends to know.
Love like you've never been hurt because...Every sixty seconds you spend upset is 1 minute you'll never get back.
Real love stories never have happy endings, because real love stories never end.
If you can't get someone out of your mind, then maybe they're supposed to be there.
Love is like war, easy to start, hard to end, impossible to forget.
Love like, you will never love again...even though you will.
Love is giving your friends the power to destroy you, but trusting them not to.
The biggest challenge in life is finding a friend who knows all flaws differences and mistakes and still loves you with everything.
The best and most beautiful things in life cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt within the heart.
Make the most of loving your friends, it won't wait for you.
Loving someone isn't finding the perfect person, it's seeing pefection in someone's impefections.
Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who love you too... and love some others as well. Believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get the chance take it. If it changes your life then let it. Nobody promised it would be easy, they just said it would be worth it.
The only people you need in your life, are the people who need you in theirs.
Never give up on the things that make you happy.
Love your friends today....like tomorrow is never coming.
I love my friends...soooo much...cannot live without them. Too bad we didn't all live on the same street....that would be the party of my life.

Focus
The first few flakes of snow fell today in a strong breeze.
How pretty it is.. or should I say "was" since they are all gone now.
I'm so tired....just because the last 2 days of my life have been very busy, and wonderful.
Yesterday was Focus...well I never expected it to be like it was. But I was very satsified with how it turned out. I don't really know what I expected it to be. So I can't tell you..but I can tell you I had a spactacular time.
Faytene-- Wow what passion!!! That's all I can say.
Volleyball--- oh wow....how slow paced a game.....how non-professional we were..but what fun... in the rain..with Katie cheering us on wildly.:-)
I could have played in the rain...but it was rather pouring and the ball was slippery.
Bordermania--- Not enough time.:-( "Quiet" funn was had by all though. lol Suzanne. Use your imaginationn.
Drama- By far my fav...oh yes...I love Drama. Making faces...trying to look angry...but then looking at Janelle and Brittni and losing it laughing. The "Rescue" . Angela, Randi and Chris...oh wow. ahah.."so which side we gonna fall out on? It's gotta be the same one:p"
Dinner-- "So can I sit at your table?" "No way..." "Of course you can.:-)"
Then more and more people pulling up chairs to sit... Eating...Brittni, Hannah, Tala, Janelle, Daniel, Justin, Scott, Nathan, Sarah, Jordan and Keith. All at one table. Got a little crowded..with certain people fighting over and stealing from other tables drinks...more specifically..Fruitopia. Much fun though.
Capture the Flag.. Raining..cold...wet. Ripping my flag into 3 pieces...to share with people..more so..Luke and Keith, who weren't fast enough to get their own flags in the first place.... it was so short,it only fit around my wrist. But it was good to share with friends. :-)
Meeting new people..so much fun...Madeline, Trevor...yeah..awesome times!!:-)
Good experiences.Good times.Happiness.
Love

In the moood to blogg...
Not sure what about though.
Hmmm.
No ideas... blech.
If a picture is worth a thousand words what are they?
la la la la.
I haven't written someone a letter in a long time.
Letters are so much more personal then an email that can very easily be deleted.
Letter are harder to delete.
As thoughts are.
As some experiences are hard to forget.
Well still not much inspiration.
I wish...
I wish for a lot of things.
I'd like to go back to the way things were before.
In yet I am looking forward to the future.
I wish that everything would be okay between us.
I hate this discomfort between us.
It's saddening.
I miss the good times.
I miss you.
Colour is creeping into the leaves on the trees.
Fall really is here.
Rain and coldness.
The air is really fresh though. Crisp.
I can't wait til the leaves fall and then I can go cruching through them.
Such satisfaction.
Why can't we just all get along?
It would be so much more pleasant.
Maybe we should move to Japan.
Apparently it's better there for relationships.
But there's not much independency(sp?)
Apparently.
Time moves on.
Whether I want it to, or not.
Time...ticks away.
Clocks...hmmm.
Tea.
A nice hot cup of tea.
Also satisfying.
It's good to drink tea with a friend
It makes it taste better.
Or talk to a friend on the phone while they are making tea.
Wishing you could just slide over there to share a cup of tea.
Slide?
Hmm that's an interesting thought.
I'll just slide to my friend's house for a cup of tea.
Imagine you had to slide everywhere. Oh wow.
This post has been so random...

Things...
Life is not always what it seems.
There are things beneath the surface.
That sometimes come up.
Things you wish wouldn't.
Things you wish would dissapear.
Things you just don't want to deal with.
But you have to.
Whether you like it or not.
You have too.
Then there are things beneath the surface.
That sometimes come up.
Things that you like.
Things that bring you happiness
Things that are wonderful.
Things...such a general word.
Could be anything.
Good, bad, ugly, beautiful, hurtful,encouraging.
Things.
Physical things.
Emotional things.
Things that bother you.
Things that don't.
Things come.
Things go.
You get things.
You give things.
Whatever things may be.
Wherever things may come from.
Things can be burdening.
Things can be easy.
Things may involve people.
Things may not.
Whatever things may enter or lives, or come up in our pathes. We can be assured of this:
"As for me, I will call upon God, And the Lord shall save me. Evening and morning and at noon I will pray and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice. He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, for there were many against me. God will hear and afflict them." Psalm 55:16-19a
I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God in Him I will trust.
Surely he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, And from the perilous pestilence.
He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield.
You shall not be afraid of the terror of night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
Nor of the pertilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling.
Psalm 91 :2-6,9-10.
In all things that come to the surface, whether they be good, bad, ugly, beautiful, hurtful or encouraging. We can have full faith that their is One who knows it all. And knows how these things came up, and knows how they will turn out. He knows. Because He is the One who reigns on High.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowlege Him And he shall direct your paths."
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust is a beautiful thing.
I will trust you again.
"And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ, forgave you." Ephesians 4:32.
Forgiveness is a beautiful thing.
You are forgiven.
Love each other. Like God loves us. Pass the love on. So that we may all feel the beautiful love of God.
Love is a beautiful thing.
I love you....all.
Peace,
--Kathleen <3
