I think I have the best job ever...and sometimes, I forget that.
but i've remembered.




it's a hard place to be  

Posted by Lauren

knowing what's good...and not wanting it.

letting it overwhelm you...and not stop it.

allowing yourself to become miserable...and not withdrawing from it.

knowing what's good...and not running to it.

to Him.

the one that relieves the burden.
the heavy burden.

i've been holding on to it for too long now.
it's time for me to let go.

oh it would be so much easier if I just would let it go.

sometimes, I take my parents for granted.

most of the time, I take my parents for granted.

& even though I hate that this happened.

I made a mistake....that wasn't my fault.

it was the best of times, and it was the best of times.

it's funny what people have to say about other people, when your all alone, and it's dark.

and it was the best of times.

when peace like a river....

doesn't attend my way.



I should be happy right now, ecstatic even.
but.
I made an honest mistake, I think.

but unfortunately this is the real world.

and sometimes when grace doesn't abound, there are real consequences.

being thankful for the grade you got is hard, when you know you could have done better.

you can shout and scream, but it doesn't do any good.
you just have to wait.



but i'm ready to move on.

I feel so at peace, with a very un-peaceful situation.

God will work it out, for my benefit.

I may or may not like it, but He will work it out, and I'm ready.


A whole semester, lost.....somewhere.

I'll sing in the darkness, I'll laugh in the rain

in 30 seconds, I went from ordinary...
to completely ecstatic.

it was because someone did something, that well, frankly, made my day.

fall evening, you're the loveliest

piles and piles and piles of leaves
I like it when you smile.
and when your eyes sparkle
the stars last night were excellent, I hope you saw them too.

fall evening, you're the loveliest

only 10 days left

Thanks God, wow, thanks.
