Maria's Story
Maria is from Fredonia, Kansas. Maria's schools include Fredonia High School.
One of Maria's favorite quotes is:""The beginnings are usually scary and the endings are sometimes sad. It's what you put in the middle that counts."
~~Hope Floats
“Maybe Christmas,” he thought, “doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas…perhaps… means a little bit more.”
-The Grinch from How The Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
- Lao Tse
"And now I will show you the most excellent way:
If I speak in tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give up all I possess and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient; love is kind; it does not envy; it does not boast; it is not proud. It is not rude; it is not self-seeking; it is not easily angered; it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will pass away; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection, then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love."
- I Corinthians, chapter 13
"Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul."
- Emily Dickenson
"There comes a point in life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always will. So don't worry about the past, there's a reason they didn't make to your future"
"Sometimes when I say 'Oh I'm fine' I want someone to look me in they eyes and say 'Tell the truth'"
"You don't work full time until you're a mom!!!"
"We must e...Expand for more
mbrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey."
-Kenji Miyazawa
"I can't go there, 'cause that's just too much us. I can't go there, I still feel your touch. There's places in my heart and head that feel as empty as our bed so most nights I don't even walk upstairs. I can't go there.."
-"I can't go there" by Kenny Chesney
"My roots are planted in the past, and though my life is changin' fast, who I am is who I wanna be..."
-"I'm a survivor" by Reba McEntire
"My son, my precious chil, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
"And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave. Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I have made. And like a baby boy I never was a man, 'til I saw your blue eyes cry, and I held your face in my hand. And then I fell down yelling make it go away, just make her smile come back and shine just like it used to be. And then she whispered, "How could you do this to me". HATE ME TODAY, HATE ME TOMORROW, HATE ME FOR ALL THE THINGS I DIDN'T DO FOR YOU, HATE ME IN WAYS, YEAH WAYS HARD TO SWALLOW. HATE ME SO YOU CAN FINALLY SEE WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU..."
-"HATE ME" By Blue October
"Life with me was a fairytale love. I was head over heels 'til you threw away us. And it's just too bad you've already had the best days...The best days of your life.... 'Cause I'll be there in the back of your mind, from the day we met 'til you were makin me cry..."
-"Best Days of Your Life" By Kellie Picker.".
More about Maria:""God doesn't give you the people you want; He gives you the people you NEED... to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be."
"Beginnings are scary and endings are usually sad. It's how you fill the middle that counts."
So, since the new year I have been making a lot of changes! I moved, changed jobs, and changed my attitude. I have decided I like change so much that I am going to keep on making changes. (And they are all definately for the better!!) Starting this fall I am going back to college!! I actually know what I want to be when I grow up!! (I think!!)
Not sure how all this will turn out but I am super excited to see where this new path takes me!! Keep your eye out for new updates and exciting adventures from Maria!!".
