Todays thoughts...

Headaches and what causes them...
So happy it isn't this cold forever...
Pepsi tastes so good all of a sudden in life...
In 3 days my love will go to Haiti for 9...
How my thoughts contradict each other most of the time...

"As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts." -Isaiah 55:9

Creativity.

It's the best feeling ever. It's like when you get a good idea, or someone says something that strikes a thought in your head and you just can't get it out. It's like raaaaiiiiiinnnn on your wedddding day, it's a free riiiide... Ok not exactly like that but it is exciting. I love feeling like I can achieve something. It's such a hopeful feeling. Like feeling good at something. Like feeling like you might be kinda cool person in some weird way. Like if you trip over something and look around to see if anyone noticed and only your best friend saw and she winks and smiles and lets you know that you're still a really cool person. HA. Ya, that feeling happens to me occationally thanks to LilyWhite. designs This is one of my favorite gifts God gave me. Being able to sew with my best friend and make weird things that glorify my Jesus, and somehow through the grace of God people feel like buying it...It's such an incredibly humbling present that Jesus gave to Abbie and I. Thank you Jesus for appointing "the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things-and the things that are not- to nullify the things that are, that no one may boast before him." -1 Corinthians 1:27-29. I disqualify myself everyday from being able to do anything for Christ without feeling like a hypocrite. But praise Jesus that I can boast in the cross of Christ. That is Hope.


New Zipper wrist-lets. Created 1/21/10. Fun morning of creativity.

Backpack on, shoes tied tight.

The first day of school still has really weird feelings for me. Even though I have had lots and lots of them. This one was different though because, unless God changes things, this will be my last first day of school. I feel ready. All day I just kept thinking about coming home tonight after Psych of Personalities and makes a delicious supper. That means I am ready to do other things than school. And it means that I was starving because I didn't get a lunch break till 3ish. Retarded. In all of this thinking about the lasts of things makes me think about how restful it is to literally trust Jesus. Not just say it, but really do it. He holds our future in his hands. It's so silly to try to figure things out. If you would have told me my senior year of high school that I would not go to Columbia in Chicago and instead go to SIC then C'dale, what disappointment I would have felt. But Praise Jesus he holds my future and I don't! The past 4 years of my life, God and changed and molded me. Ultimately I have been exactly where I was supposed to be, and let it be know, I was completely and utterly satisfied. There is such contentment and joy in obedience. My life belongs to my living Redeemer, I am not my own.


My delicious supper:

1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup Italian Dressing

Pound chicken flat and marinate in that mixture for a while. Cook on George Forman grill.

Peel and dice potatoes, boil in water till soft. drain water and mash with 3 tbs butter. splash-o-la of milk, lil cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Get your friend Sarah to buy you a crock pot for christmas. Put bacon grease, minced onion, lil chicken broth, and 2 cans of green beans in crock pot. Cook on high for a few hours.

Call your fiance, tell him to bring over a pepsi, and Lost season one, enjoy.

Saturday.

Today has been been a wonderfully non-typical Saturday full of sleeping in, cleaning out my fridge, sewing, cooking, and showering. Yes, i just mentioned showering. Only because it is the first one in 3 days. Gross? Not really. My bathroom is approximately 50 degrees Fahrenheit (Jared just google'd how to spell that for me. Don't be impressed) because I live in an amazing old brick building with two huge windows in the bathroom. Fantastic for spring, not so much for winter weather. So the point of all this brings us to this current moment. When I am sitting and blogging. My BFF suggested that I begin to blog, and I always say there is no time like the present so here I go. Click here for quite the musical delight. Alright, not at all but if you want a 15 year old boy to buy you a puppy, this is a great resource... :) Have a wonderfully relaxing Saturday. Next on my agenda, researching and gaining an opinion on Yoga.
