Weeks Upon Weeks of April

 

 

Let's keep April going, please.

I have liked April a lot.

I have liked this weekend a lot.

This past weekend I went to downtown disney for the first time.

It was a blast.

 

From the car ride,

to the shops,

to the free birthday cupcake,

 to the ghiradelli shake,

to the disney art, to the disney music,

 to the disney statues,

to the car ride back,

to watching the third Hobbit, to "The Last Goodbye".

 

It was wonderful.

 

 

This week has been pretty grand too.

Not a whole lot of stuffes, but just enough stuffes.

Like rain, and starbucks, and cleaning, and soccer, and injuries, and dance parties, and pie nights, and coffee, and papers,

 and

I wish you all, a very fond, farewell.

 

 

 



When it rains it pours...

Ironic how a drama filled, cloudy day happened to be literally a rainy and gloomy one.

There's a lot going on at college and maybe it's the end of the semester, but I definitely know it's taken it's toll on everyone.

Thankfully God is strong in our weakest hours.

This verse has just been resounding beautifully in my ears;

 

"But of Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”

--Romans 10:21

 

 

Whenever I had read this verse in the past, I always focused on how bad it was that the people of Israel were disobedient. What I didn't focus on was how even though God knew Israel was going to be disobedient and contrary, He still held out His hands all day long to them. Not just after they repented and turned to them. Not just momentarily to see if they would take His hands and then when they didn't, He didn't put His hands down. He held out His hands all day long to them. You know, He does that to you and me too. We're disobedient people too. We don't always do what we're supposed to. However, God still reaches His hands to us in spite of it all. In spite of whether we're remorseful or not His hands will still reach for us. He longs for us to turn to Him. When I read this verse now, I just can't help but feel love in my heart, and be overwhelmed by how wonderful He is and have the urge to just obey and love Him more.

 

The Bible can turn anything bad into good.

Maybe this day wasn't a perfect day, but it still was beautiful and God is still good and there won't be any perfect days until I get to Heaven.

Coffee Dates

This week has already started off well.

Yesterday, I ended up going on walks with my friends, getting a phone call from old friend, getting Starbucks, playing soccer, and reading Mere Christianity. It was actually a pretty busy but wonderful day.

And today, although it's only 10 in the morning, is a good day too.

It was a coffee and bagel date at Einstein bagels with my unit mates who are all leaving next semester. It's sad they are leaving, but it wasn't sad hanging out with them. It was refreshing and beautiful. We just had a really good time and we don't usually have time to hang out because of our schedules. Later today, I have rehearsal for reading spoken word at a concert and going for half-price appetizers with the unit.

 

It's a good day.

I feel it in my bones.

And I think to myself, what a wonderful weekend

This weekend was one of the best birthday weekends I have ever had in my entire life.

 

It was golden retrievers, free chips and salsa, music bands, old fashioned cream soda, walks on the pier watching the stars in the sky and listening to gentle waves, it was chocolate milkshakes and The House on the End of the Street.

 

It was the Uninvited, Chocolate Cake, Beach Adventures, being photobombed by a baby, Mellow Mushroom pizza, laughter, undeserving gifts, climbing a gigantic tree, pictures in a yellow mushroom, weird target cashier, starbucks frapps, Woman in Black 2, seeing fireworks from my bedroom window shoot off in the night sky which I am sure was only for my birthday.

 

It was watching a musical, buddy brew coffee, walk a long the river, games, birthday dinner, muffins, baked cookies, lots of chocolate, a painting,

 

basically everything wonderful that could happen, did happen.

 

I just am overwhelmed by love.

 

This 21st birthday was on point.

Shake off the Dust

I won't ask you for advice,
you already hurt me twice.
I'm not a back-up plan.
And you're not my biggest fan.
So let the wind blow us where we need to be.
It's the only way we can be free.
No need to act like everything is perfectly fine,
I have read and seen the warning signs.
So let the windows break,
Take off the mask that's fake,
and let fate be fate.
I'm not mad, but I'm also not blind,
Let's move forward and leave the past behind.
Let's move forward and leave the past behind.

Rain Drops and Coffee Cup

Today was libraryness, Gilmore Girls, paper critiquing, dinner conversations and busted guts, free Wawa coffee, Rain Drops, watching Criminal Minds cozied in a friend's unit and listening to the calming rain.

 

Tomorrow, begins my birthday weekend and I'm excited. :)

Aren't we just paintings after all?

You told me,

aren't we just paintings anyways?

Blurred images full of lines...

I'm not the artist, I can't call this life mine.

The evidence is in the artist's brush.

The evidence is in the Bible, and that's enough.

I'm painted, formed, wonderfully made.

I've been bought with a price,

by your blood I am saved.
