second semester senior.

Too much has changed, too many things have grown apart. I want to rekindle things, make them better, make them how they used to be. But that can't happen can it? No things must move forward. Hurts have been forgiven, but its left an emptiness. God is good, but the day does not seem as bright as I would like it to be.

Life is not about being content, but it is not about pursuing happiness. Its about walking through valleys, finding joy, and holding on to it tightly.

Integrity of Beauty: What kind of pie are you?

Lets say you have two pies placed on a counter: both look exactly the same and have a place card in front of them that says “Apple Pie”.

To anyone walking past they appear to be the same exact pie- same crust, size,etc. What they do not realize is that one of these is a lie. Underneath the perfect crust is not apples, no, instead there is mud. You would never know, just looking at the two pies that one of them is made of dirt; you would just assume that it was made of the same stuff as the other pie.
Well that assumption goes as far as the first crack in the crust.
Now let me ask you this, which pie is more beautiful? Remember they both look the same…
(The quote I posted from Audrey Hepburn (a woman who is renowned in the subject of beauty) should illustrate your answer.))
Beauty is not strictly restricted to the exterior. Everyone has heard that “it doesn’t matter what you look like on the outside, its the INSIDE that counts.” While I do believe this to be partially true, I still think that people are missing the point. Beauty shines through both the inside and outside of oneself— both aspects compliment each other.
