Amongst all those silly forwards that I occasionally get and rarely enjoy, I have on several occasions gotten the email where you are supposed to list one word to describe that person. That's probably the fastest way to get me to delete an email. Me ask you one word that describes me ~ Haha.... NO. I'd rather not. No offense to anybody that has sent me that email, but quite frankly I don't want to know that one word that sums up Leah.
But sometimes the truth is hard to face. I often find that I would rather live with a lie, than throw out the commodity of ignorance. But what I've found out is that you can't really run away from the truth; there just isn't anywhere far enough. God in His glory has written it not only in our hearts, but across the sky, on the wings of each butterfly.... and it's whispered in the wind. It's everywhere.
But you know what I really found out? I found that the truth is beautiful. Somehow I had tricked myself into believing that the truth hurt. Well, it does hurt sometimes, but the more we live in the truth, the more beautiful it becomes.

Now THERE's a way to look at things, Leah! Can't hide from truth...that's true enough. ;)
...Sorry though, I really don't do the whole caffeine thing though. You don't want to see what me+caffeine equals. (shrug) Normal thoughts are all I've got. :(
I agree with Alex... that's a good way to look at it. I want to know the truth, whether I like it or not just because i want to take what I am or am not and learn from it and try to be what it is that gets me closer to where I wanna be!
Since Alex and Jon couldn't think any caffeinated thoughts, here's one from me:
I have a word to sum you up... Leah! =D
Great post Leah! The truth definitely may hurt at times but it will only be more painful if we delay it or increase what is not true. I have heard that the surest barrier to truth is the belief that you already know it. Basically know what you you believe but keep an open mind and be willing to weigh the options.
My caffeinated comment: You know you drink too much coffee if you don't sweat but instead you percolate! :D
