just a few things

1. i'm still sorry about how depressing i sounded last time i wrote. for an update, since i last wrote, God has blessed the situation in a really big way :)

2. i saw leap year last night with some girls and it was great. the story, the setting, the characters. i would go see it again.

3. in reading post secret today, there were two that i really liked, so i decided to share them with you. one is a little graphic, so here's your warning (this one also deserves an explanation, so you're getting that, too).

here's the one that needs the warning and the explanation.



now, let me say this before we get started. i've never had sex. but i think i understand the sentiment behind this. even though i think this secret was probably written by a woman who's really wanting a man to be close to her, i think this feeling can go beyond that. sometimes, you just want to be near someone. to be close to them. to feel close to them. to hold their hand or link arms with them or lay your head on their shoulder or give them a big hug. it doesn't necessarily have to be someone of the opposite sex (although, sometimes you just want that, too). but don't we all have those moments when we need to feel more than physically near someone?




i just think this is soo sweet. it's the romantic in me, i guess. there's a lot of love and hope and admiration in this secret. it just made me happy, and i wanted to share it with you, my dears....


lots of love to you :)

A New Post

Y'all. I have been starting and stopping, erasing and re-writing, thinking and planning, and starting and stopping again for this post. I haven't posted since the beginning of December, and that was only a list of things I had to do for finals. Hardly note-worthy. Before that, I hadn't posted since September. Which, upon reflection, was also only a "here's what has happened in the last several weeks" post....since I hadn't updated since MAY. Clearly I'm very good at keeping up with this little blog. Probably because I'm fairly certain the only people who read this are also those that I actually update on the phone... Also, I think I've been avoiding writing anything serious for awhile because I didn't really want to think about it in such a way that would lead to a post. "It" being any number of things I've been thinking about for the last 6 months or so. Likely, another reason for this is because there are so many things ...

motivation!

i think you should know that as i was typing the title to this post, i was singing it to a made up tune in my head... i have two papers due next week. one massive one and one that won't be so difficult. this means however, that i have less than a week to finish both of them and that means that i cannot spend any time doing anything other than work, school, or writing/researching. but. i've developed this "fall break is almost here, i don't want to do anything important right now" mentality. which is curious since i'll be doing school stuff all during fall break simply to catch up and then get ahead a little. so tonight, as i am about to get started on my work, i made a "motivation sheet!" that i can look at when i want to give up: using that verse might be a bit of a stretch, since i doubt the writer was thinking about writing 20 pg papers when he said it, but it seemed to fit. it includes baking and crafting and spending time with people, of cours...

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...
