My Heart…
I was searching layout themes last night with a friend and I saw this theme you are looking at today, the new/temporary deisgn to LivingRarefied.com. It looked hilarious to me.. So simple…
But as a laid in bed, I was thinking about the context and how true it is…
Over the last few years I have learned and am learning that I can't give my heart to somebody, whether they ask for it or I just give it to them thinking they want it.
First off it isn't mine to give. I made that decision years ago to give it to Jesus. So I really can't give something I don't have. The problem with that is sometimes the mind works different than the heart. So they forget who owns which.
Secondly, my heart is my connection to God and Jesus. By giving that to another person I unfortunately have redirected my pathway to Jesus through them… So as soon as something happens to them, something has happened to my pathway and also to my faith (as part of it was rooted in them).
My solution is that I open my heart to somebody to allow them to see it, be near it, fall in love with it. But knowing it isn't mine to give them, to be open to sharing it with them and its owner… God… This is where my honesty experiments will shine and allow myself to be more transparent into my heart for others to see.

Ethan,
First off, thanks for the email the other day! My birthday was pretty fun, though I have exams comin up soon, so the next two weeks are gonna be rough!
Secondly, I'm not one to comment on other people's blog themes… but i'll just say the salmon/baby blue color scheme really suprised me! haha
Nicely done. I like the whole “it's not mine to give” statement. It's simple truth that I needed to read.
