What Kind Of Heart Do You Have?

What makes a heart valuable? Everyone knows that a heart is made of veins and ventricles that pump blood, the most vital thing, to the entire body. But is that the only thing that makes the heart important. The heart is not only the central part of the human body, but also the human soul. What a person is, thinks, believes, holds to as truth, and who they are becoming is surrounded by the heart. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks [Luke 6:45]; what goes on in your subconscious thinking while using your heart will come out whether you know it or not. There are many different kinds of hearts, but who is to say which is which. These are from my observations:

Heart made of paper: A heart that is sooo thin and easily used that this person probably does not know how to defend themselves or want to. Also, a heart that so easily goes up in flames and may aid in making the flames itself.

Heart of stone: a heart that is hard and will not let anything through, not even thing that are needed such as water. Also because the heart is hard, the mind usually is as well. Information is hard to get across to them and they never want to change their ways.

Heart of wood: Wood is usually used in starting a fire and so is a person with a wooden heart. Although wood allows water to pass through it and allows the water to soak it up; often times it floats on the water. After the water dries out of the wood the flames are the next thing to fully indulge it and cause it to buuuurn. This means that a heart of wood could either be used for good or bad, it is up to the person to decide what it will be used for.

Heart of silver: Just like any other metal silver is as strong and hard. But unlike precious metals, silver tarnishes. A heart made of silver is strong and looks good in the beginning but over time the thing that was once beautiful and held so much value is now ugly and almost worthless. But also like tarnished silver, the thing that has become ugly can be restored and look as beautiful as before. Things are never as they seem, you just have to be careful

Heart of gold: gold is the longest lasting metal and keeps or gains value over time. Gold is also a pure metal that hold so much value to many in the form of commitment. When one gets married and slips on the rings made of solid gold they are symbolizing that their love is pure and will last as continually as the continuous circle. But like any metal, when put in the test of flames the gold will melt. Yes pure, amazing, beautiful but not completely perfect

Heart of diamond: the highest quality of jewels and beauty. A diamond is a girl’s best friend. Why? Because no matter what the girl [or person] is doing, the diamond will never change. Although a diamond is never pure it is never changing. Diamonds are strong; they are even used on saws to cut through other metals and materials. Diamonds can also withstand fire and actually be refined by it! So fire is actually better for the diamond. Through the pain and trials, the diamond is still as beautiful as before.

Sure, there are hearts that have a mixture of these materials and the real question is not only what heart are you, but what heart are you striving for?

flashy men

What to look at: The Inside of their hearts or the print on their bumb

Men wearing bling! Does anyone see the problem with this or not? Im just going to start out by saying that I am writing this blog on behalf of Marian Marcos and Rania Khalil!!!! It was as we were sitting in the lobby of the hotel that we saw this horrific site. A man who was fairly attractive was gorgeous until u saw the jeans he had on. I understand that there are certain people that must show how much they make a year on their clothing they wear for one night. I am upset at myself for not taking a pic of this guy but I was too busy laughing. Is there a reason why all these men or women must wear things on their butts that will grab the attention of all animals in the zoo to think they were looking at one of their own? Which reminds me, do the guys really think that when they wear clothes like that the girls they want will suddenly leave all they have and follow them? Really? The only girls they are going to get are those who care too much appearance. But it’s not just about guys that wear bright stitching or rhinestones on their butt, what about all those guys that wear all brand names and must let everyone know it. You know those crazy Asians that must only wear Louis Vuitton purses or fanny packs, even the men? I don’t get it, but I guess just like, “why were men created first”, we will never know. I guess its because I come from a family that was taught to never show off more than you have to. People will know you are not poor but you don’t have to rub it in their faces. When you see the tarabet-ta-too on their caboose I don’t know whether to be confused to why they are that flashy and showing off or to laugh because of how ridiculous they are! Are the men therefore flashy or trashy? thats up to you to decide! Once again, this blog was written for all the girls that are looking inside a man for who they are, not what they wear…. Thanx Marian and Rania for the great idea

PEACE

What is peace? To many it is the lack of war, the absence of fear, or no trace of qureling. But is that really the only thing that peace means? Why is it that when we look at the word peace we think of the opposite of negativity, but why cant we think of the positive reactions. Peace is therefore the need of love, the hope for a better future, away of helping those in need, or just sitting on the beach and drinking your favorite…..soda. Yes, peace is the absence of negativity but it is also the presence of serenity.

The past few weeks have hectic and stressful. I have been working on some very fun stuff for those that I seem to be living for but under the surface there have been many underlining battles. The mind is a dangerous place for battles to occur because although there may be a winning soldier in your mind at a moments notice the victory can be changed for another. In other words, once you have made your decision internally you can change it without anyone knowing or judging. The explosions that occur within that small space on top of your shoulders could cause a load of trouble or joy to occur.

This weekend is out church conference and the kids have already blown me away. My team and I am in charge of the songs in the Sunday school part. While we were teaching the kids who are 6-11 years old to sing worship songs that people who are 15 years old do not even bother to listen to I realized something. Once the song was pretty much learned the children began to close their eyes and meditate on the words. Their eyes closed and hearts lifted up they began to relax. In the midst of their singing the peace was showing on their faces. Who would have known that peace could be seen in the face of children who would other times get on your nerves and want to make u pull out all your hair. Peace is seen as serenity in a child’s worshiping face.

So who is to say that peace will never happen in the world, and who is to say that peace is something that must be found by high officials in the government? Peace can be found in a cup of tea with old friends or ice cream on the beach after a swim on a hot day. Peace is attained in simple things. But like a pearl, you must find the oyster and open it gently to find the pearl. But also like a pearl, after the search the joy is the reward.

Peace: a state of tranquillity or quiet

Whats yours?

Over the past few days i have been putting all my thoughts into one subject that i thought was highly important but it was all dashed in a single moment! just think that everything u raised yourself to believe, to hope in is dashed in a moment that u thought would lead to your greatest happiness. when one holds two scenarios in their hands but the one of happiness has fallen to the ground due to the gravity of fate.

Since when is the dream that u live in your head become a reality of nightmares. when the dreams you thought would lift u up has placed you in a coma. there is only two things that can become of this happening. either you can stay comatose and slip into a spot 6 feet under until someone comes and rescues you with the shovel of love or you can rise on your own and bring your life to a whole new level until you reach your all time high.

There are still a few things that can help in these situations. vanilla ice cream, watermelon, shoes, and most of all friends!!!
