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 kind of wanted a friend to play chess with. I thought my dad and I might start playing a one point, but we played one game and then that ended. So now I have a chess friend. Yay!!

This song has been going through my head all day long...thanks K!

Called Beauty

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

Thin Mint Cookies and French Press

It's gross out...rainy and cold. I really am trying to overcome my issues with winter and cold, but it is a serious struggle for me. Days like today I just don't want to leave my house. I want to curl back up under my snuggly covers and read a book all day long. I want to drink lots of hot tea and bake cookies...I do not want to go to class and work and be out in this nastiness. The thing is if it were summer and rainy like this I would love to go out. It would be warm and I would not wear any shoes and I would have a fantastic time. But it's not summer. If I went out with no shoes my feet would be even more frozen than they already are. Sigh. I just blogged for the first time on the Magdalene Project blog . Check it out. Well, I need to get to some school work. Peace out girl scout...get it thin mint cookies, girl scout...safe
