don't rain on my parade!

"Maybe I push when I'm meant to be still, maybe I take it all too personal..." (newsboys)...the lyrics just played, and they resonated with my soul. Which reminds me to share this song (below) with you! It's my new favorite!



This week I have been through an interesting situation that taught me a lot of things. It taught me:
a) do not jump to conclusions, especially when you have just one person's word
b) the Bible is totally applicable to life. when you have a conflict, go to the source of the conflict
c) sometimes you walk out of situations feeling stupid and immature (and you know that other people see you that way) but you just need to admit to yourself that you messed up and move on

life goes on...

just be.

another weekend...that week passed SO FAST. so much to do--ah!!

I went grocery shopping yesterday and got GRAPES!! and yogurt! and milk! and juice. real juice. it has been worth every penny.

My friend dared me to give up coffee for 3 days. On...day two I drank a large mocha. BUT! I deactivated my facebook account. a worse addiction methinks.

I hope he doesn't mind. :) But a friend of mine wrote this amazing sonnet that I just wanted to share with everyone! First off, it is encouraging. In so many ways. Second off, this dude has God-given talent for writing and encouragement.

One day you will awake and realize,
That I am your hero in disguise.
I am your knight although I do not shine.
Quality to looks does not consign.

Just open your eyes and you will see,
There’s more to love than strong arms and blue eyes.
This truth, let no feeling tear apart:
Love is more than a flutter of the heart.

Please do not regard me with loathing
Because I am a prince in frog’s clothing.
Listen not to simple elation,
My true love springs from determination.

Love is faithful and love is true.
One truth I know: I will wait for you.
