The Pursuit of....i don't even know what

I haven't blogged in a few days...heck I haven't even logged on in a couple of days, which is both unusual for me and also a testament to how crazy life has been for the last couple of days.

Today, however, has been a day for the record books. I have been so amazingly blessed today, and even now thinking about it, I kind of want to cry just because God is soooo Good!!

Let's see...I went for a run this morning, and I was going to run 6 miles...it turned into 7. And the entire time I ran it was raining, which just has so much amazing meaning for me. I loved that God rained on me the entire time I was running.

Also while I was running, I made the decision to live a life of faith...in every single part of my life. My finances, my personal life, my job, my future...everything. I want to live a life of faith and dependence on God. And I know that I'm going to have to continually repeat that to myself every day for the rest of my life, but I feel like a huge weight is lifted off of me.

I wiped clean the paper of my life, and I am giving God a blank page to work with. All of the dreams and ambitions and plans and expectations I have for my life, I am getting rid of and I am telling God that He can do whatever He wants with my life. Wherever He goes, I will follow. Whatever He says I will carry out.

Today has just been an awesome day of fellowship with Him for me which has been so wonderful.

Then, as is bound to happen sometimes, I had a day where I realized that I am super cute and I am just smart and cool and why on earth do boys not notice this about me. So tonight I was praying that my cuteness would be appreciated by a member of the male sex. God is so good to me because later (not even an hour after I was praying that) S complemented me on my style...it was soo good for my heart. And it was so much better than having a guy my age say that.

As I wrap up this blog entry...because I really needed to be in bed 30 minutes ago, and I still have a couple of things to do before I get to bed...I just really am overwhelmed at God. Te Amo, Beloved!!

Peace out yo! Safe!

I'm listening to Pandora right now, and the song that is on is Love Song . I'm not sure what exactly that has to do with my life at the moment, but thought I would share it with you all. In fact, I feel rather at a loss as to what I should say as I sit here eating sweet potatoes. I had a lovely run with my roommate, B, today. We both decided that it is much more fun to run with someone than to run outside alone...not to mention smarter as our neighborhood isn't the greatest. Running feels so awesome now. I am getting new running shoes tomorrow, and I'm really excited about them. The lady at the store let me go out on the sidewalk and run back and forth to test them out when I went today to look, and they just felt really amazing. Switching Subjects... I have never really had many guy friends. I'm not sure why. I think part of it had to do with the fact that for a while I was really scared of men in general. Then I went through a men disliking period (I refuse to say

learning to savor

I was asked today if money wasn't an object, if I didn't have to work, if I could do anything in the world, live anywhere in the world, what would I do? I wanted to give her a thoughtful answer, a truthful answer, so I thought about it. If I could do anything what would I do? My heart leapt within me at the thought. It's one of those rare opportunities where you just allow yourself to dream for a minute of a perfect world. What would that world look like? I knew within myself what I would do, and I did my best to express it to this lady. I would have a house on the beach. It would be a safe place, a resting place, a refuge. It would be open to anyone who wanted to come. I would have tea every afternoon with my friends. I would cook and bake. I would work in my garden in the backyard. I would spend hours in communion with my Beloved. I would take walks on the beach, watching the sunset. I would sit on my front porch and soak up the day and night. I would savor life, and I wo

I say Hi!

I have discovered the secret to avoiding awkward situations... things are only awkward if you make them awkward. Think about it. We take our cues from the people around us. If someone else is trying to make you feel awkward, and you just ignore it and go on with life...then they will stop. I was in a situation tonight that could have been awkward, if I had made it that way, but I choose not to. As a result I ended up having a great conversation and was very encouraged and uplifted from it. Anyway...this is going to be short because it has been a very long day and I have a lot of homework to do tomorrow...so tomorrow is going to be a very long day. We finally covered Philippians 3 in Bible Study tonight...so excited to move on. Also, I am greatly enjoying playing chess with a good friend...we are having about a weekly match up. Good times!! I'm getting better, so we'll see if I'm able to eventually pull off a win. Funny how God grants little desires of our hearts. I always k
