Things I Will Accomplish Before Summer Ends.
- Make the floor of my bedroom visible - Move from said room into a smaller room down the hall, because my family is kicking me out of my bedroom for my sister. #adultchildinthefamily - Read all three of the human trafficking books I ordered last night. - Write at least two blogs repeating the same stories and theme: Team Romania. Our 2 year mark is coming. Let the sentiment flow! - Lead a team...

This is going to be incredibly comical.

why wear pants when you can just not wear pants
When the answer to a question of Jeopardy is...
Me: “Wait, so those are a real animal?”
Mom: “Yes, they are mean little things!”
Me: “So do they actually spin in circles?”
I didn’t think this was an invalid question.
All I want to do is make vague overreacting...
But I know that will not only FAIL in making a point, but also make me look like an emotionally stunted child with internet access.
So I do this instead.

Lazy Sunday 2
When one of my friends sends me this text. . .
“I was just at your dream party. Two bearded guys, from a bar ministry in Austin, TX, were just bustin’ some hilarious and pretty good dance moves. You would’ve died… It was even in a skating rink. Seriously, why weren’t you here?”
She gets me.

My mom didn’t take me seriously when I said this morning, dramatically sprawled out across the arm and back of her favorite chair as she routinely scrolled through her Facebook page. “I don’t think you’ll want to stay there forever. I think you’re just searching,”
I considered this for a moment, considering that she may have a point (as mothers often do). I...

I need to do something more with my life.
Those moments. . .
when my brother doesn’t understand the concept of “introvert night” and thinks I’m mad at him. But really I just need this one second to step away from everything happening around me, drink my chai, and not focus. Focusing hurts a little too much sometimes.

All this glory, all this glory…
This has been a very productive weekend.
Even if the first six weeks of the fall semester are going to kill me and I have gotten very few hours of sleep in the past two nights, I’m happy.
When I eat my friend's food before they even have...

Over the past year. . .
my life has become a total 180 of what it used to be. I am incredibly blessed by the people who have been placed in my life and the growth they have aided in and been able to witness. I can truly say to you at this point that Christ is my strength and my provision, and it’s taken a battle to uncover this truth.
He is good. All the time.
This week is about the little victories.
Because a lot of things suck. What do these little victories look like?
1. Being told that I am a good writer by the most difficult/brilliant/respected professor I have ever had.
2.
3. Getting direct encouragement at the exact moment it is needed.
4. When the woman checking me out in the student store charges me .25 cents aka the price of water for the coffee I am buying.
There is something therapeutic about writing open...
But when the possibility comes up that the open letter could become so much more than that… that is when I start to think I’m insane.
