Television
"When you are a writer and a speaker, you aren't supposed to watch television... A couple of years ago, however, I visited a church in the suburbs, and there was this blowhard preacher [who] said that when we are watching television our minds are working no harder than when we are sleeping. I thought that sounded heavenly. I bought one that afternoon." Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz

Heroes
Those who continually give themselves away for the sake of others - My parents, my grandparents, my "other" parents (Bill & Darlene, Danny & Stephanie, Jeff & Meljone); Rick Franke (for resiliance), Shirley Brownhill (for holiness & intimacy with the Lord), Emily Rene Harmon(for great conversation, fear of the Lord & wisdom), Katie Rose (for relationship)
About me: my name is miriam and i have been diagnosed with chronic logorrhea. i love PEOPLE! i love LOVE! my most dominant love languages are quality time and physical touch, so let's hang out and i'll give you a hug! for those of you who are not into quality time or getting physical, don't worry. i am fluent in all 5 love languages - i definitely take whatever lovin' i can get!
now that i've made myself sound desperate, i just gotta say that i am not always sure of myself. but really who is fully sure of themselves? i'd like to think i am a kind person, or a confident one. i would like to think that i am an intellegent person. i know a lot of random stuff, a little bit about everything. you know, one of those who is kind of good at everything, but not great at one thing in particular. you can thank my parents for this - my mother being the musical one and my dad being the all-around know-it-all. i love to eat, and i blame this on my parents as well. "i have many leather bound books, my apartment smells of rich mahogany..." (guess who)
i love Jesus Christ with every fiber of my being - after all these years, i am still trying to figure out how this love would be embodied, but i am learning. i would do anything to show others this same love, peace and safety that i find with following Jesus, the most notorious Revolutionary and the greatest Humanitarian known to man!
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” -M. Williamson
Who I'd like to meet: Paul (the Apostle), King David, Elijah the Prophet, Mary the mother of Jesus, Adam & Eve (mainly to ask them why), Martin Luther, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, Donald Miller, Ingrid Michaelson (maybe she'd let me sing a few bars with her), Oprah
miriam!!!!!! im coming in october make room! im bringing anna and monica martinez so you better monitor you drinking and smoking soon!!! mon will cast whatever out of you!!! love you
We just found out that my mom's boyfriend's mom has cancer. Now I know God can and will heal her, so I am just asking yall to pray with me. Cuz I know this would rock this family for Jesus. I am definately believing God for a miracle. I serve a big God. I keep you posted on the miracle waiting to happen.
miriam my love...I just heard our song; you know, the one that's oddly irresistable. le disco! It makes no sense...did you know that one of the lyrics is "we're gonna dance on fire" Dance on fire? It's our perfect song...no matter how long it's been you're oddly irresistable. miss you!
preaking miriam!!!! thank you for having us at your house. we had so much fun. well i did anyway i cant speak for the sickly one left at the apartment. now when i look at your photos i know where you are. thank you for opening your home to us and for showing us the city. we are forever in your debt. love you! rach
hey hey hey!!!! i am still alive miss just working thats about it i work 6days aweek now and i work night 8pm-4am so i am sllep during the day most of the time lol! but thats about it enjoying the bay and my fam life is good. so what have you been up to? and when is your next trip to cali?
MIRIAM!!!!!!! I miss you girlfriend!!!!!! I am SOOO wondrful!! I absolutely love college and my school and everything that goes with it! it's so amazing...How are you?!!??! I see you and Katie are still in love :) man I have a craving to visit NY again. Such a great time!
i just watched that video that ruben posted....i laughed so hard.
so you commented me a while back and i just really read it.
something about wanting to snuggle and how it's cold. and how you wanted to know how i was holding up without you here. well i must say that i'm turning heads and breaking hearts. i'm embracing my sexy side. like victoria told me to do. it is her secret you know! and the only person that i love right now is me. you know i'm pretty great and i haven't met anyone better lately. all the good ones moved to newyork!!!!! so i'm coming and only because edith told me to. we are buying tickets tonight as soon as she gets out of the shower and calls me SHEESH! i hate being a supervisor and i'm not afraid to say it. dont get me wrong i'm really good at it. i just feel like i live at starbucks. on any given day i dont know if i've eaten because i've had so many coffees. when a customer comes up to the register and i ask how i can help them. if they hesitate for too long i start to tear up, because i'm worrying about the condiment bar being stocked and the dishes and giving brian a break and weather the sanitizer water will pass eco-sure and how i have to do the deposit and take a lunch before 9 and leave two new people on the floor for an hour alone and weather i put quarters in my meter and if that kid over by the bathrooms is going to graffiti on the tile, all at the same time while the only worry the person standing in front of me has is "tall" or "grande".
I KNOW! I absolutely love that song :) But you know what I love more?? YOU!!! and you know who I hecka miss??!! YOU!!! Remember running around at my trackmeet with me on your back cheering for audi... and cussing people out in cecilias language... and squeezing your butt right before worship when everyone was watching you!! hahaha.... the good ol days. Guess where Im going tomorrow with Dani??! San Fran! Good memories from there too :) I hope you are doing terrrrific mimi! I love you and miss you more than you know! xoxoxoxoxoxo ♥ Sabs
