alienation.
ever since I allowed myself to let go of my own life I have seriously experienced more freedom and joy than I’ve felt in such a long time. God is teaching me to find contentment in Him regardless of my circumstances, and I am so entirely glad He didn’t forsake me in my darkness and instead placed people divinely in my life to help me aspire to something greater. Unfortunately I feel...
decluttering.. simplifying..
Bye-bye facebook.. for now.
I’m simplifying my life. There isn’t enough room for my Jesus.
He gave everything for me.
He deserves more.
inspiration.
I have finally filled the void that’s been bothering me for so long. I looked everywhere for something to hold on to, something to fill me up and feed me and inspire me towards something greater. I looked to art and fashion and clothes and music and pictures and paintings and poems.. but nothing came close to fueling the flame. Isn’t it funny how strength comes with surrender? By...
II corinthians 12:9-10
.:My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness:.
therefore i will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. that is why, for Christ’s sake, i delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties, {for when i am weak.. then i am strong..}

a natural choice to watch on Christmas with the family. at least my dad thought so.
..You make beautiful things, You make beautiful things out of the dust..
..You make beautiful things, You make beautiful things out of us..
art.
Our lives are kind of like our art in a way. I mean… what is art but self-expression? The little things we do can be so beautiful or so ugly. I’ve been so focused on trying to find inspiration lately, and so focused on pursuing creativity that I think I’ve kind of lost sight of the meaning my life was called to hold. Pictures can inspire me to alter my style or decorate my room...

wednesday.
Today I’m probably the only one still studying for finals. everyone else is done for the semester. So pretty much the only way I can make today not suck is by blasting happy music and spontaneously bursting out into dance. I’m not accomplishing much studying. but I don’t really care. :)
peace.
I got super stressed out for a while when I felt the pressure to do Ywam again. I don’t understand it.. weird things kept happening both times I seriously considered trying to make it work. Things that I thought had to be signs from God. Dreams and random incidents and Bible passages.. but when it comes down to it, all that came from all that was uneasiness and stress. As in I literally felt...
teehee.
Today was really good! Minus the whole going to work and getting completely drenched in spaghetti sauce due to the incompetence of my coworkers. But.. yeahh.. I’m putting in my two weeks tomorrow and getting my christmas bonus so I can’t complain much! I’m really tired right now and all I want to do is watch something cheesy like nacho libre and eat cereal. I eat breakfast foods...
rock. bottom. sort of.
It’s crazy how fast you can go from entirely confident to entirely crushed. I need something to live for. I’ve found it before, I can discover it again. But takes more humilty than I have right now. Which scares me.
I have a tendency to not be able to fully describe myself. Perfect example above.
