The Beatles were right.
All we need is Love.
Relationships, of any kind are meant to build each other up. To be full of the most honest love for the other person simply because of what they are. Of who God intended for them to be. Yet the relationships we are in on this earth cannot quite reach this level of perfection. Most of us are broken, we search in the wrong places to be healed. We are missing this true honest pure love that God, by...
I have never hated the words “I told you so” more than I do right now. I wish I was wrong. I wish it would have been different. I hate seeing you like this.
“Morality, in the context of a relationship with Jesus, becomes the voice of love...”
– Donald Miller in his book “Searching for God Knows What”
Sometimes the right thing and the hard thing are the same.
“All that is needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”
– Edmund Burke
To love a person means seeing them as God intended...

You are good, You are good, when there’s nothing good in me.
:: Freedom is being able to do what is right. Morality is written in our hearts.
You are truth. And truth is beautiful.
: I love
People make me smile.
I AM EXCITED FOR WINTER FORMAL.
So excited. Reasons:
I get to dress up and be pretty!
I’m going stag. That’s a win in my book. Wee!
It’s at K1 speed. Go kart racing. So stoked.
I get to race a go kart in my dress. I dream about stuff like that. Because it’s totally me. I will dress up but I’m not gonna go prance around and not touch anything because I don’t want to mess up my hair....

Winter formal is tomorrow
We celebrated my grandpa’s (we call him Pop-Pop) birthday tonight. He told us all about his grandmother and his...
This killed me. Words can be so beautiful...
Here are the words:
Your heart is different than most girls your age. It is still tender, and kind, so kind, and somewhere along the way, you dropped the attitude that a lot of girls think is so attractive, and when you dropped that attitude, you made yourself so approachable, and by being approachable, you have torn down these seemingly indestructible walls that a lot of women have– walls that...
There are some lovely souls on this earth I wish I could spend more time with.
I have been cleaning since I got home. No one is bugging me to do it. I am just cleaning. I am honestly loving it. It smells wonderful. Lauren and I were cleaning together and listening to music. It was fun. I scrubbed the bathroom floor. :)
Things are beautiful when they are clean.

Day three
Spanish.
Um yeah, easy as pie. Conquered.
What selfish little people we are, thinking so often pf ourselves that we miss the world happening right in front of our faces. We are each a small speck in this universe. A lovely, God-made speck. Nonetheless, a speck. We can do great things through Christ, by His overflowing grace.
God gave us a book filled with His love to read.
And I love to read it.
1 Peter 1:8-9
Paul is so stinking cool and loves God so much it makes my heart happy. 1 Timothy 1:15-17
Hebrews 4
1, 2, 3 John
I know it’s not easy to pick up your bible and just read. Start small. I find so much peace when I read, it’s lovely and wonderful. God brings my joy. I pray that I can use it all for His glory.
You are my deepest longing and so i see You...
metaphoricallyiamfree:
it’s all for You, God.

Day two:
Chemistry and Math
Let’s do this.
Hebrews 11:33-34
By faith these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God has promised them. They shut the mouths of lions, quenched the flames of fire, and escaped death by the edged of the sword. Their weakness was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight.
Hebrews 11 uses the word faith 26 times.
My brain is done filling itself with information for my finals tomorrow.
I am currently reading my bible and painting my toenails because I can. Reading His word gives me peace before I sleep. I like it.
I find that when people get to know me, they are surprised at what who I am. They are pleasantly surprised. I am not who I am expected to be.
Today was a good day
Started off the day with a bang (waffles with nutella)
On the way to school my brother brad called from Afghanistan and I got to hear his voice
