seeking truth in love, life, and LA.

Truth is something I desire to speak in my life, over others, this world, instituions, situations, and most importantly myself.

The mere thought of the word truth is simple, its plain.. it means what is real, what is obvious..
but for me it means more. I feel I need to speak truth into my own heart and mind before I can stand up for truth in other peoples lives -which is what I long to do.

To be able to be a woman of truth I need to be honest with myself about
what I deserve
what I desire
what God has for me
what I need to give up or add to my life in order to fulfill those things

This is the place I sit, pondering how truth is realitive in my life, and how strongly I will stand for it.

Will I stand? will I speak? will I love?

The boys.

This is a glimpse at the fantastic teens I get to hang out with everyweek. They are amazing dancers, and will be famous oneday. Last weekend at SNR (youth service) they got to show off their ridiculous talent. I love them with all my heart, and you should all be praying for them. They are amazing boys that will one day turn into men of God.

Last saturday some of my friends and I took four of them to the beach for the fourth of july, and for Ray (one of the boys) birthday. We all had a fantastic day espically Ray, which he deserves more than any of you know, or I could explain. Keep praying for their saftey and guidance.

My lifes purpose.

Out of the projects and off the streets arise a generation of youth who are broken and beaten, phsyically and emotionally.

Out of the streets of these neighbourhoods come talent, grace and ability.

Out of these youth come the next generation of art and talent and business.

what are we doing to cherish them, what are we doing to empower them, how will
they ever arise out of the desert without some guidance.

they will arise - out of anger or empowerment

its OUR duty and responsibility to tell them they are beautiful, talented and blessed by God.

Its MY lifes purpose to see through the pain and ugliness of THEIR world and see beauty wholeness, and hope for THEIR future.
