Got this from a girl I follow on blogger. I love it. :)
pesky little thing, this life.
you think he likes you and then someone points out the "kick me" sign he taped to your back, or you get up from your desk to go to lunch and you find double-bubble gum stuck to your toosh.
and after crying (of course) you wonder if you have the girl-power to push him down on the playground in front of all of his friends.
...but you do not.
because secretly, deep down inside that little heart of yours, past the fear of cooties and rejection, you still have a huge crush on life.
so, even though life continues to poke and tease and push and pinch, you'll shrug your shoulders and flip your hair and keep your undisclosed, annoyed thoughts to yourself
because you know that life is just going through a phase and, in the days to come, life can only get better.
...and more attractive.

Words.
Work. Work. Work.
Bleh.
It's not just the "work". It's the minimum wage and not so nice or fair bosses.
Once books are bought and I buy stuff for my room since I won't have a roommate this year (on the bright side... that is quite exciting!) I don't think it will look like I worked this summer at all. Can someone say BUUUMMMEEERRR!?!?!?! haha
Other than work I've been trying to rock climb when I can. It's just soooo stinkin hot! But I do think I've improved some. :) Can't wait to climb with all my friends back at school. :)
Yesterday my friend Bethany and I were hanging out and she played this song in the car on the way to lunch. It was called Rocks and Water by Deb Talan. I absolutely love it.
Not perfect.
Dreaming.
Beginning.
In Christ Alone.
Volume.
Hear and See and Smell.
Acceptance.
Inspiring.
Tough.
Forgiveness.
Green.
Perspective.
Romantic.
Rain.
Raise your voice.
Katie.
Jesus.
I love how simple words and phrases can take the mind so many places. It doesn't take much does it? One word can mean so many. Add art and color to those words and it can be channeled, expanded, and detailed. Not only are word and meaning present... did you notice? Feelings. There is emotion in words too. Even when not spoken. And they can be completely different for each person, making the meaning of the word different for that person also. Amazing.

Coffee Shop and Thoughts
hhhmmm... well today was a pretty good day. :) Went to work this morning. The day went by pretty fast. Once I got home my parents and I went to see a movie. It was nice to get to see a movie with just mom and dad and no one else. That doesn't happen very often. I'm now at a coffee shop in springfield where Blackbird by the Beatles is playing over the speakers. :D How I miss this town when I'm in Searcy!!! Drink for tonight: Virgin Mudslide: pure white chocolate and irish cream
So lately I have had a TON of blog topic ideas. Just things that I think about a lot or just have some burning opinion on. I was going to try and pick one and really expand on it.... buuuut I have found that when it comes to blogging/writing I often get frustrated because I feel like I can't properly express what I'm feeling/thinking. So instead, I think I might just "lightly" hit each subject :D
Oh, and the music has changed, it's now You and You're Heart by Jack Johnson haha just thought I'd fill you in ;)
Topic #1 : Helpless Romantic
While my ex-boyfriends (especially Joey) would probably disagree, I have come to the conclusion that I am a helpless romantic. (btw... I say Joey would disagree because in his opinion I make decisions in my relationship based mostly on my mind, not my heart unlike himself...) Aaaaanyway, I think I would be a mild case of a helpless romantic but then again... every girl is to some extent. It's a struggle to remember that my Lord is the one who completes me and who loves me beyond all else... not my ideal future husband.... the poor man.
The song has changed again.... I had to look this one up to know what it was haha The First Day of my Life by Bright Eyes
Topic #2: Skin
My sisters, their friends & mine, and just about every other woman and girl in the United States shows too much of it (myself included at times). It has never bothered me so though as when I see my two sisters walk out the door to go to the movies with boys with short shorts and tank tops on like they did tonight. I know it's the mother in me... so I don't say anything. But I just wanna get down on my knees and beg. "Do you not see?! Do you not understand what message you are sending!? I know you, you're not like that... you're giving out the wrong message. You are causing others to sin. You are allowing yourself fall into a trap that secretly begins to make you believe that all you are is what you look like. You wonder dear sisters why your self-esteem is so low? Realize that the kind of boy you want would not desire for you to dress like that! It breaks my heart."
... I was too into that last one, I have no idea what music was playing
Topic #3: Analysis of Self: Motherly and Deep and Big Thinker
The last topic leads me nicely into this one! Motherly, yes I am. Lately I have wondered if it is the Lord's will for me to be single (despite all my helpless romanticness). But this characteristics seems to finish of the idea. I am motherly beyond control, it must be the Lord's will for me to have children. ha! .... Deep and Big Thinker. I don't really know what all to say about this one. There was a woman who told me I was this last night at my family's BBQ. Despite all my seriousness and my many deep thoughts and opinions... I am still a dreamer (aka big thinker). It can't be good for me haha because I only end up arguing with myself like a mad woman over the practical and the out to save the world and have adventure mumbo jumbo. teehee
Song: Push by Matchbox 20
Topic #4: Analysis of my troubled sister
For those who know me well, they know which one I'm talking about. I love her very much, but we can not get along. I know it takes two to fight and I will not deny that I am also to blame for the bad relationship. I think my mother would be annoyed if she heard me call her "my troubled sister". It's not like she has a problem such a drugs or something rebelliously crazy. She's just... troubled. Which may seem to you like every other teenage girl. But despite the many who have told me I'm wrong... I've come to the conclusion that as Christians we/they (even though I'm 20, I very much still feel like a teenager sometimes) should not have to be the average troubled teen. Not saying they won't struggle, but we have Jesus... so shouldn't things be different in every stage of life? Not just adulthood. If you've made it this far... first of all I'm impressed and secondly, please tell me your opinion on the "average american teenager" and the christian life. :)
I can't hear the music anymore :( There's a load group in here chatting. Bummer, I was having fun doing updates on music! :)
Topic #5: Wisdom
My momma and I listened to this sermon a few days ago on the subject. It was by Ben Stuart and it was titled "Who is Wise?". It was reeaaaally good. Wisdom is more than knowledge. Simple concept... even obvious, but it blew me away. Wisdom is not only know what things are, but know how they work and how to use that information to do something about it. Perhaps a better way (or just a synonym) to describe wisdom would be insight. Wisdom isn't shown by what we say, but what we do, day by day deeds and works. James 3:13-18. How do you know you are wise? HUMILITY. The wise person in proverbs is the one who knows they don't know everything. Wisdom takes God into account... "the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom". Godly wisdom is pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere. Wisdom is taking your gifts and helping other to flourish.
"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him."
-James 5:1
Alright, those are all my topics. haha :D Time to go rock climbing!!! :)
Love,
