a list

of the random things i've been thinking or have noticed.

*there are many things which i wish i knew how to do or was good at. but i don't and i'm not. i do, however, feel this urge within me to be able to do these things and/or have people think i can do them. this creates a lot of different "me's" floating around. i need to accept who i am and not try to be something i'm not. learning.

*i have a bit of an obsession with children's books. as in, when i finally get the rest of my books from my parents' house in dallas, i won't have room on the shelf for them.

*i'm 24 and i still really enjoy disney. and yes, that includes the disney channel.


*i like to organize and have a plan and clean and make sure everything has a place. i am also, however, terribly bad at keeping things organized and clean and putting said plans into motion a lot of the time.

*it's going to be fall soon. how should i celebrate?

*i just rearranged the furniture and books in my room. is it weird that everytime i look at my newly redone bookshelf, it makes me soo happy? also, i think i do things like redecorate and rearrange to avoid thinking about things sometimes.

*i love to read. but often, i don't feel as though i have time to read. i think, though, that sometimes it comes down to simply not having the patience to sit down and read. and i'm just as happy watching a movie or tv. so maybe it's just laziness.

*who i have been, who i am and who i want to be.

*where my strength lies -- or rather, with Whom my strength lies.

*i love season changes, holidays, and traditions. love them. can't say enough how much. and sometimes i wonder why these things make my soul so happy.


i think the list is complete for now.
love.

Over the Cliff

In the middle of Prince Caspian, there's a moment. Lucy has seen Aslan, but no one else has, and Aslan's told her she has to follow, whether anyone else does or not. Fortunately, they all agree to go with her. As the set off, she's the only one who can see Him, and she's leading everyone else.  "He led them to the right of the dancing trees -- whether they were still dancing nobody knew, for Lucy had her eyes on the Lion and the rest had their eyes on Lucy -- and nearer the edge of the gorge...for a long way Aslan went along the top of the precipices. Then they came to a place where some little trees grew right on the edge. He turned and disappeared among them. Lucy held her breath, for it looked as if he had plunged over the cliff..." Recently, I feel as if I've been following Jesus and He's disappeared, plunged right over the cliff. ********************* Last fall, I began thinking about words for 2017. I love the idea of claimin...
