because...

because You bought me a snuggie

because You pray for me when I am sick

because You make me laugh even when I am really, really mad

because You drive to a further gym just to workout with me

because You act like a robot

because You know when your in trouble
because You pray for the food before every meal we eat
because You listen to my long stories
because You notice when I wear something new
because You let me help you
because You are lizard
because You planned our earthquake meet up spot
because You give the best hugs

because You hate birds

because You say only positive things about me
because You let me be me
because You love me for who I am

because You are You

thats why.

The Simple Things

The Simple Things

Last Friday evening, I hurried home from work and went straight to the restroom to start getting dressed for harvestors church service. I rushed past my amazing Father who greeted me with a "Hola, I made tuna sandwiches!" I mumbled "not hungry," as I plugged in the curling iron with one thing on my mind...ME!!!

As I was curling my hair in the restroom, my dad sat in the living room eating his tuna sandwich (alone) shoots for some more small talk by asking, "How was work?" Clearly I wasn't in the mood to chat so I rolled my eyes and gave him one word. "Fine!"

After 10 minutes of (so I thought) beautiful silence... BLACK OUT!

Every light shut out and the entire house was pitch black.

I screamed, "DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!" Immediatley my father answered, "Im right here, dont worry."

My dad was by my side quicker than I could blink, and I thought to myself, "Did he forget how rude I was just acting toward him?"

Those simple words, and this simple action sunk deep within my heart.

"Im right here, dont worry."

Day after day we get caught up in our busy lives and we rush past God, turn away His blessings, and ignore the small talk He desires of us.

Day after day.

In the moment of a crisis we seem to cry out to our heavenly DAD and immediatley our Father answers,    "Im right here, dont worry." At the moment of repentance, God is right by our side and forgives us of all our sinfulness. Even though we are far from deserving this kind of "royal treatment" God has one thing on His mind, "YOU!"

Psalm 51:“Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, and in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom. Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow … Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” verses 6-7, 10

Those simple words, and the simple actions are not so simple to God.

Quote of the day...
Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness, and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again. - Og Mandino

Fashion Ignores

Safety, comfort, and common sense.

Fashion should be fun, a little quirky and different.

Which explains my outfit choice for today...

A Random T-Shirt &  Fashion Dress Pants!

If Fashion Ignores
Safety, comfort, and common sense.

Shouldn't Life?

My sister recently left her "comfy basic tee" for an "uncomfy itchy sweater."

About 4 months ago her family left jobs, family, and friends.

Picked up their belongings and moved to Hollywood, Flordia,

to begin a Praise Chapel Church,

to live a Random Fashioned life.

Which many would NOT consider to be

Safe, comfortable, and of common sense.

I spent 22 years of my life growing up beside my sister.

Now she is miles and miles away.

At times I wonder how great and happy life would be if she was still in Cali.

Then I remember those souls God has already touched through her

and wonder how unhappy and lost life would be for them.

Although I still wish she was just a car drive away, 

It is amazing to see the Lord's plan unfold each day.

Erno Rubik the creator of the Rubik Cube said...

"It was wonderful, to see how, after only a few turns,

the colors became mixed, apparently in

RaNdOm fAShIoN."

Our lives are like a Rubik Cube,

Some days are blue, some days are red, some days are green.

When our hands are turning the cube, our life is

all mixed up.

But when we let God's hands turn the cube,

after a few turns,

the colors in our life will

all match up.

 

bOtToM LiNe Of thE dAY...

To be comfortable in life is Old Fashion, to be uncomfortable in life is Random Fashion.

Don't waste life being Old Fashioned, be "Random Fashioned."

Real Discoveries Come From Chaos

"Real Discoveries Come From Chaos"

If I had a T-Shirt with the words "Nothing To Wear" today would be the day I'd sport it.

This dress? Nope.

This top? Nope.

I scattered through the pile of clothing that flooded my bed, only to discover my BlackBerry and the time screamed "Your going to be late!!!"

Adrianna think quick! I slipped on the black cotton skirt that sat on my piano bench, the black-tee thrown like trash on the floor, the striped cardigan that I dug up from underneath my bed, and the grey knee-high boots that I had only worn once, and then I swore I'd never wear them again.

Although my room was chaotic, I managed to stand in front of the mirror pleased with my discovery.

When I left my disasterous room this morning, as funny as it may sound, God brought me to remember the earthquake in Haiti. Even though it may be fading from the magazines, newspapers, and television, I should never let it fade from my heart and prayers.

To those in Haiti and those affected by the tragedy...

Today I pray you will somehow manage to stand in front of the mirror,
look beyond the chaos, and be pleased with the   
real discovery.

Under the trash, mess, and chaos in Haiti, some will pick up old treasures thrown like trash on the floor, some will dig up family members both dead and alive, and some will discover their "grey knee-high boots worn only once, that they swore they'd never wear again." Jesus.

A Dress in the Rain.

Tuesday 01/19/2010

"If you can Dance in the rain, you might as well Dress in the rain."

Today I woke up 45 mintues later than my alarm time (I totally blame it on the rain). Who in their right mind wants to put on a dress and heels on a cold day like this???

As ironic as it sounds, I did! Except I was in my right mind. Yes, I put on "a dress in the rain" and heels...in ADDition to that, I warmed it up with leggings and a leather jacket.
