committed strokes now; reaps fruit in the future

If you're human, then you've probably sensed that desire within you to do the right thing... but didn't have the strength to. i named this blog committed strokes after being inspired by painting my nails. yup! paintin ma nails! you have to finish the whole stroke; top to end of nail bottom, for your nails to look good. if you just focus on the top, then they are going to look clumpy and busted. not pretty. then I was thinking about my life, and where i just focused on the top, and didn't see the stroke of my commitment till the end. my help and product probably looked unfinished, half-way and busted.  i don't want my life to look like that to others. obviously, im talking about relationships. there has to be meaning. vitality. trust. honesty. grace.

i desire to be trusted at my word.

I am working at being a reliable person.

I love wise people, I hope to be considered "wise" one day. 

I also love people who "have a good head on their shoulders," i want to be that person.

im working at keeping God in the center of my life. the cheif. cornerstone.

oh, and i am working at creating healthy, open and honest friendships. it's been rewarding.

forgiveness has changed my life, it's unbelievable!

purity is precious, as is patience.

i love where i am right now, because it's where i am suppost to be. i think zoila said the beatles coined that phrase in a song.

singing is cool, and uplifting.

dancing is not that serious, it's just my trade.

my dad loves how i stop to smell the roses.

simple is best.

But I think a song by the fray makes sense, it's called fall away. 

it talks about having to deal with the consequences of a choice, a bad one. hence the pain sung in this pool of regret. sure, it's a little dramatic. its weird where reality stands up, being inspired by paintin ma nails, but hey! somethings got to inspire a person to take committed strokes for the future.

You left something undone, it's now your rerun
It's the one you can't erase
You should have made it right, so you wouldn't have to fight
To put a smile back on your face

You fall away from your past
But it's following you
You fall away
