I never know what to say...

Your average quirky kid living in the Pacific Northwest. I enjoy a great deal of things.Quoting sitcoms with my family, eating cold chinese food, baking poppyseed bread,exploring outside, reading classic literature, experimenting with a new crafts I've found online and going somewhere I've never been.

A conversation between me and an elderly man I've become friends with from riding the bus together.

Man: Are you and your sister married to the same fella?
Me: No, sir! I'm not even married.
Man: Don't lie to me, girl. I see a ring on your finger.
Me: Oh. It's not a wedding ring. It says "courage".
Man: How's that?
Me: COURAGE.
Man: Why in the world would it say that?
Me: It helps me remember a verse from the Bible I like; Joshua 1:9
Man: Well, go ahead and recite it for me.
Me: Have I not commanded you-
Man: Uh huh.
Me: Be strong and courageous
Man: How's that?
Me. Be STRONG and COURAGEOUS. Do not be frightened and do not be dismayed for the Lord your God is with you where ever you go.
Man: Oh, yes. Good heavens, that is true.

St. Patty's day

I am sort of a sucker for holidays. ANY holiday. Except Halloween, that is.

Realm of Faith

To trust in a realm unseen,
to be told stories of those who believed
those who walked in righteous ways
forsaking night and chasing day
"He is light and He is good"
it echoes loud and clear
"Forget the promises of 'could' and 'should'
and to the One above draw near"

Crave what is good and flee despair
cast it from your sight
for if we are His and He is ours
we are secure in His might

In faith alone we watch and wait
unaware of the trials we'll face
only comprehending the simple truth
that he will help us through our youth

Decisons

Need to do some serious praying.
So many decisions.
Here I am, Lord. Send me!
This summer and fall: both a mystery.

Summertime. If only it could be filled with play! To spend hours in God's creation..Oh, what a joy that would be! It's adventure I'm craving but my adventure may have to be simply working.
A step towards my dreams.
If only that step would be more desirable.

A simple yet not so well thought out paralell between a girl's body and $100

This is a small glimpse at the strange things that I think of.

Imagine having $100 on the dashboard of your car.
Nothing is wrong with having money. In fact, it's pretty great. But, if you leave it on your dashboard more likely than not it will get stolen by some jerk.
Heck, wouldn't it be nice to live in a world where people actually have dignity and don't steal from others? It surely would. However, not everyone uses self control. If you value your cash, don't leave it out in the open for everyone and his brother to see. People can be pigs and extremely selfish. Don't let them have the chance to be tempted to take it.


Do you know what parallel I'm going to make?
Dressing immodestly is like having $100 on your dashboard. People ARE going to notice (that's part of the motivation behind the way we dress, n'est pas?) and it will tempt guys. Don't you want to be respected? To be absolutely honest, I don't always try to dress modestly because it will help " not lead our brothers in Christ astray" (oh, how I detest that phrase!) but because of this truth:
For every smokin' hot guy who is checking you out there are at least half a dozen scumbags who are ogling you. Not only that, but if you're showing 6 inches of cleavage and a mini skirt, no one will take you seriously about anything.


You can still be incredibly attractive without giving away the farm. If you want to be respected and regarded as something other than a sex object, use wisdom when you get dressed in the morning.

Disenchanted

What I've waiting for, dreamed of and worked so hard to get to was not what I wanted.
Your dreams, God, instead of mine.

Words can't even convey how good it is for my soul to step out of my comfort zone now and again.
God, you are so faithful to your promises.
You are always with us.
