Sometimes I just have to remind myself I am not

652 has now been uped to 763. I am so happy.


**Update- I made a mistake on 120 of them. Sad day.

-Three more hours until dinner and a night out
-One more day until beauty comes together for a day full of fun
-Four more days until Big Red

That is what I am calling today.
I "freaked out" over a few minor things already, and I started telling people to shut up at 8:00 this morning. For that, I am sorry. I stopped, just in case you were wondering. I hope not to pick things like that up again. What's funny is I think I have the ability to laugh at things more, because I have done that a lot too. That mere fact makes me think I am tired, but the thought of a nap-which will probably come in my stats class irritates me too. God is so good at making me laugh when I am unhappy, upset, or just plain irritable. I used to get upset at that-how ironic :-). Any how, it is a wonderful day because I get to love people, now if I can just get around to showing them love...

*I love you

I am off to my last class of the day.

***Example of God making me laugh: I just re-read this post.

I found 652 ways to say I love you today.
Let's hope the person gets the message.

Watch out for this guy:

The best part of my day?
Sharing God's love.
The second best part of my day?
Seeing Peanut...

No matter what goes on in our lives, God is still Good.

Now, I've always said this, but never fully understood it. It was one of those things that I knew was true, but never knew why it was good to know.

No matter what, we will always have something that is of the purest good, something above all of the bad,
and something that will last long after the bad dissapears.

How great is our God that we can be thankful for Him, even when our lives are darker than ever before?
He is Glorious.

God, can I love you forever? Will you help me do it? I want to, I really really do. Can I know more of You? Your Beauty; Your Love; Your Goodness?

"A knowledge about God should deepen our relationship with Him, which in turn increases our desire to know more about Him." ~Charles C. Ryrie Basic Theology

How wonderful You are.

And lots of them...

That has been happening even in my lower points of the weekend.

What a faithful God we have; one who is faithful to be there when we seek Him.
What a loving Father we have; one who will hold you when you are down.

How unworthy we are of being a part of the triangle that He has created; the one that makes me smile every day.

My weekend just recently became a who lot lighter, God is so good as He gives and takes away.

Laundry is done!
Yay! Now I get to go to sleep!
Mmm, there is nothing like the feeling of hot pants.
PJ's that is...

You make me want to fall into His arms, and never leave again.
You make me want to rely on Him for everything, instead of just the somethings.
You make me see His Love shine in a new way.
You make my heart flutter.

Take some time to admire God's beauty. It is worth it, I promise.

And then the sun shines brighter than ever through shut blinds, calling me to open them.

*sigh.

Sometimes I wonder where things come from. Like butterflies or flutter bugs. Other times I wonder why. Like why people look at me with a smile, or are close to tears when they try to speak. Sometimes I wonder how. Like how I became surrounded with such beauty, or how long this feeling of brokenness will last.

I don't remember how much sleep I get each night when I wake up because I have a relatively easy time waking up from any amount. Well, by the time the afternoon rolls around my energy has faded and I am rather confused by it happening. Then I realize, four and a half hours of sleep just doesn't quite keep you going for an entire day... :-)

A dear friend mentioned that it is natural for the body to be at a low point at this time of day, so that adds to it. I love feeling sleepy though, it is so comforting.

When little girls replace the young at heart, only smiles remain. Soaring up to the sky and swooshing back to the earth. Talking up side down yet right side up; triangle passes and falling down hills; surrounded by God's creation. Cosmic wiggles and the 8th day of the week. All came in a moment, all left in the next, but the taste of sweetness still lingers in my soul...

My joy comes from the depths of you and no other. Things, relationships, may come and go but you are ever constant. It is good that you want for us because you are Good. When my joy seemingly escapes me I am forced by your love to realize nothing of this world can bring me the happiness I have, and nothing can take it away. Help me to give this joy to the right people, and to continuously recognize its roots.
