shoulda been more smart about it

Lent.
I'm not Catholic, but I'm doing Lent. I'm really excited about it.

I am not eating cookies or icecream or candy, not even lollis! It's a sad day when you don't eat lollis!

I can only have the original tart at fro-yo places with fruit toppings and peanut butter.


I work out six days a week. I bought new clothes today.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiii

am excited.

afterall

Here is the world.

Here is a group of people from the world.

Here is the world. Again.

This is me.

I can't change anyone in this world. I can only change myself.

ever praise

sometimes God calls us to do outrageous things, and we'll never fully understand it. that is why i'm in so much school debt, i don't understand it but God has called me to a certain field and it'll be okay.


and that's a fact.

Way too much coffee. But if it weren't for the coffee, I'd have no identifiable personality whatsoever.

Bloggers! Bloggets!

It's time you knew, it's time you understood.

I'm going on a missions trip! I'm poor and can't afford it on my own, but God will provide!
I'm going to England and Holland. I'm spending two weeks in each country and I am going to help with ministry toward the Hindu population that lives there. It is going to be such an experience! I'm getting my passport this month and I've started to raise support already. I pray on the reg and I hope that God will really bless me and the others that I come in counter with.

I'll tell you about it more, later

the walls kept falling down

on the city that we loved.


January 22nd. One week, one day has flown by. I want to embrace every single day.

I don't want to be destructive because I know it's only for myself. I don't want to be so hardened by fear of loss and pain that I ruin what has been great all this time.

and endurance produces character, and character produces hope

2012

I always win.

I am delayed on my reflection of 2012. It feels like it never ended. That's how every year feels.

But 2012, when I really think about it, man I just get excited.
I went to New York for the first time IN MY WHOLE LIFE!! I went to New England ^_______^ twice.

I ran in a 10 miler, worked my first full time job, paid rent, lived on my own, upped my dress game, liked summer and finished the Harry Potter series.

graduated college.

my whole life is ahead of me, and while right now I seem stuck, God has already opened and provided so many doors. mmmmm which to chose.
It really was a year. Here's to 2013 and all of it's promises.

you know you love me. xoxo gossip girl

Do you ever wonder what your friends say when you're not around?
You know how you analyze others with your other friends? But once you are not with them, you have a feeling that they are saying things to other friends about you. You know how you have all of the negative things about your friends built in your head and when they commit them you think, "oh my friend, how typical of you is this?"
Have you stopped to think what those negative things about you that everyone else is aware of?
I could name a few of my own, probably.
This is also called gossip.

It's not a good feeling, and it really is not something that I am new to. No one is.

I think I'd rather have someone tell me to my face what they think about me. I think I would have them do it in a respectful way, too. Not in a blunt, in your face, in front of everyone type of way.


Where is class?

Just as a once and great man said,

 

I ain't Mike Jones, keep my name out of your mouth.
