Guess what... tomorrow is the beginning of your lucky month!!

why is that you ask?

for the first time in my blogger history I will grace you with one post a day for an entire month...

What a treat!

anyways...what's the occasion?

well april is when I will turn 18. yes. I will finally be an adult.
so the month of April I will devote to 30 things that I love.

that's right. lucky you!

these of course will be in no particular order, and some days may be a complete bore, for that....I apologize.

Too much of our time is spent trying to chart God on a grid...
and too little is spent allowing our hearts to feel awe. By reducing Christian spirituality to
formula, we deprive our hearts of wonder. When I think about the complexity of the
trinity, the three in one God, my mind cannot understand, but my heart feels wonder in
abundant satisfaction. It is as though my heart, in the midst of euphoria, is saying to my
mind, “There are things you cannot understand, and you must learn to live with this. Not
only must you learn to live with this, you must learn to enjoy this.”

I'm frustrated...but not with my self.

It would be a lot easier if I was frustrated with my self.

A whole lot.

I don't get it, why?

"Why do I worry?
Why Do I freak out?
You know what I need."

I feel so lame sometimes, when I worry about the smallest details of life
mostly concerning school.
God provides, he always has, he always will.
Nothing will be to much, because he promised me he will not give me more than I can handle.
But it's not me handling it, no, not if I trust Him

Mercy and Grace are my favorite attributes of God right now
and i'm basking in them.

school kills...
and yesterday I was really eager to complain about school.
very eager.

but when things are put in perspective, everything changes.

When God puts things in perspective, my position immediately changes.

funny how things change

What I thought I wanted 12 months ago is no longer what I want

What I thought I wanted about 10 months ago is no longer what I want

What I thought I wanted 2 months ago is no longer what I want

What I thought I wanted yesterday is no longer what I want


all of these have a direct instance...but don't ask :P
chances are you could never get it out of me.
and chances are you wouldn't understand if you could.

but it's funny how things change.
what I want today...I probably won't want tomorrow.

there are some moments in life that you want to cherish and replay over and over and over again.

not because there was anything special about them, but because they were just...perfect.

all the pieces in the puzzle just, fit together.
