second anchor line

here he is!

Meet Milo. 1996, a lot of miles, but still going strong. Beep beep, I'm a truck owner.












It's been a long journey with a lot of flat tires and bad transmissions, but in the end it worked out. To the glory.

I've been relaxing and bathing. And there's this song, you may have heard of it. But there is a line and it goes like this like: when I look into my nephew's eyes. Man you wouldn't believe, the most amazing things, that can come from some terrible lies.

can i get a witness

noone's listening

well that's awkward. i don't have a car.

but i have a lot of feelings, and they don't even matter. but it makes sense in my head and my heart so i'm okay with it.

here's the key to the ignition

cars. hate them. love them. gotta have them, barely live without them.

1997 Jetta

I almost had this puppy at the beginning of the semester. But, the guy was selling it for 900 and that was way over my limit at that point.

90 Honda Accord

This guy was almost mine for 700 dollars, until the girl was not ready to sell it yet. Boo, I was literally upset.

1997 Jetta

That is when I went back to this guy. The guy dropped the price by a lot. However, God is on my side and a random young cowboy went with me to look at it, and the tranny is going bad. Too bad because I totally would have been all over this. JETTA'S are my dream car. LOVE.











Then goes a list of random craiglists.

Until, by the grace, I found her. Or him. I haven't even met the fella yet, but my mom went and looked at a 94 cav.

 Now I can take you to your best friend's house.

side note: running? check.

we sound much better

This is my vow that I am going to run EVERYDAY until Christmas break. Then I'll decide what to do from there. Oh my gosh wish me and my shins luck.

every single summer

I'm in Demoss Hall. It's like 11:00 PM, and I'm crying. I'm not crying for any particular reason and I'm just sad. No one made me sad, it is just that time when things are sad.

This happens for girls from time to time. I'm drowning in my tears and I'm sad and I'm crying and then I start to think about my day. I think about the fact that I was there when someone accepted Christ earlier that day. That I watched a man's soul go from death to life in a instant. I watched a man answer God's calling for his life. I watched this man trust God. Just a man, who doesn't deserve it. I don't deserve, neither do any other of my Christian friends. We are people to be pitied and spit upon, but we are forgiven, loved and rejoiced over. Unconditionally, God is there for us. Always. A man trusted JESUS and now this guy will be forever changed.

Suddenly, I wasn't as sad anymore.

tune my heart to sing thy grace

There has been so much going on. I do not know where to begin. I guess I can start off by saying that I have been running again. I have my first race since the 10 miler this weekend. This one, however, is for the freedom for enslaved girls caught in the sex trafficking in Asia. WHAT. I'm so excited. They give you a name of a girl and you put it on your arm. The whole three point one miles you're constantly aware of the purpose of this run. Jazzed. plus, race days give me the happiest feelings in the whole life of happy.

Hm. Also, I just came back from a state that I have never been to. South Carolina, you have been added to the list of TWELVE. We left Wednesday, spent a lot of money and came back Sunday, with 25 minutes until I had to be at work. I could not ask for a better weekend. Catching the waves with my friends, playing games and getting tan. Burnt for me ;) This weekend was one of those times that if I ever get to go back to Myrtle Beach, I'll remember every detail like I've been there every summer since I was 7. It was special and I'm happy that I got to experience it. My wallet hurts, but a month from now that will not even be a concern of mine. Some of my favorite memories include:

 

Glenn's ice bath.

Experiencing Satan's Lounge

 

Throwing parachute men off the balcony of Captain's Quarters!

 

This

 Catching the sunrise.

Cotton fields

These people who are my FRIENDS

There is just too much to cover the whole weekend. I could write a book on it. Speaking of which, I did read a book. It was good, but I'll probably never read it again. Unless I'm married and my marriage is suffering, aka it was divorce and the miracle of a couple staying together. Touching. Really.

Side note.
I've started to read a devotional called, Soul Detox. Laugh all you want, because I did, too. The title is corny and sometimes I wish it would go deeper. However, the truth is that I have been so convicted. God is at work, and He is testing me so much and I am excited to see His faithfulness in the end.



Another side note. BRING ON THE COOKIES AND CAKE, Thursday. peace n blessings yall
