school days

being here is making me the happiest i have been in a long time.

i love boers cottage and i love the ladies that i have been blessed to live with.

each day is an adventure, even so far.

i could not be more satisfied with my life right now.

i have...

regrets.
i didn't do anything this summer.
i worked.
very hard.
and i made money.
but what good is that.
i have no tan.
i didn't do anything exciting.
bummer.
this year at school looks so promising.
i can't wait.
i love my friends.
summer is over.
but school is coming.
and school will be the best 8 months of my life.

starry marbles

i was floating in my pool looking up at the stars and it just made me think how awesome God is. it looked like each and every star had been placed by hand into the perfect charcoal painting for me to look at. sometimes i feel like earth is a marble and God holds us in his hands and keeps us safe while smiling down, watching and loving us.

Psalm 67:8-9
Bless our God, O peoples, and sounds His praise abroad, who keeps us in life and does not allow our feet to slip.

You are not a god created by human hands
You are not a god dependent on any mortal man
You are not a god in need of anything we can give
By Your plan, that’s just the way it is

You are God alone from before time began
You were on Your throne
You are God alone
And right now in the good times and bad
You are on Your throne
You are God alone

You’re the only God whose power none can contend
You’re the only God whose name and praise will never end
You’re the only God who’s worthy of everything we can give
You are God and that’s just the way it is

Unchangeable
Unshakable
Unstoppable
That’s what You are

a beginning

summertime serenity has yet to wash over me and summer is quickly running towards a steep cliff preparing to jump

i am not a great communicator and lately i have been finding it harder and harder to get out the things that i really want to say. there is no good reason for this. i simply, well not simply, feel as if there has been a weight tied to my tongue and it is held inside my mouth when i most need to speak. my brain and my heart are not functioning on the same wavelength and i wish that they would sync.
