So sad.

It hurts.

And you leave like a swift band-aid removal:

shock at the initial lack of pain,

then the sting comes rushing afterwards and smarts.

I wish we didn't have such differences.

I wish you knew what you did, and what you're doing.

This is all probably for the best.

This hurt is better than how continuation would hurt.

I wish it didn't have to be this way.

Ouch, again and once more.

Babies are beautiful gifts.

A laugh or a smile from them can brighten anyone's day.

Over break I had the opportunity to meet my friend's nephew. He was soooo adorable!

The way he stares and the hundreds of expressions he has are so priceless.

The way he kick-kick-kicks for no reason at all is hilarious.

And I think his belly is magnetic. I just wanted to tickle him constantly!

What a beautiful, grand blessing in such a tiny package.

I think my biological clock ticked a tid after that.

Schwoah babies.

Whoa- look out:

2011: Happy New Year!

I am now taking ideas for New Year's resolutions.

You may post here, text me, or post on my facebook. :)

One year, I counted every piece of gum I chewed. I think I have a blog post about it, but I'm too lazy to look it up....but it was A LOT.

So throw your confetti

blow your sound-makers

take your pictures

down your drinks

kiss your loved ones/strangers

dance your booty off

and yell at the top of your lungs

because we've got 365 days to take on again. Let's start it off right, together.

"Something has changed within me.

Something is not the same."

Up until this break, I had taken any step to relish my childhood.

I wanted to "be forever young."

I had the spirit of a child.

But something has transformed.

I have less fear of the future. I have less fear of wanting it to be here quickly.

I now want to work toward the future.

I'm stopping this reminiscent tom-foolery.

It's exciting.

I no longer feel like a child.

I am coming into my own.

I still believe that part of "genius is carrying the spirit of childhood into maturity" and I strive to live as such.

But, with the help of the Lord, I have the power to shape my future. It is endless possibilities.

It is exciting. And scary. And I want to venture into that unknown. Weird. :)

Keep me in your prayers.

Dream Destination:

Celebrate!

There is hope.

There is hope in the words of others.

There is hope in the Word.

Jesus loves me!

And I relearn it so often.

He is all I need.

He is all I need!

HE is the One.

I'm in love.

I'm in love with Him.

And I'm still learning.

I feel as though I'm starting preschool

all over again.

His hand is in this, it must be.

Through frustration, through feelings of distance, through apathy, through anger, through tears, through anger, through feelings of distance, through frustration, through tears, through apathy;

He will still reach my heart.

Even if He has to rock my world to get me to pay attention.

He deserves it all.

He deserves my all.

I lay at Your feet, Lord.

Pick me up, spin me around, make my world.

I delight.
