| wow... perspective.
I'm giving myself completely to Jesus.
no more wasting my time on things of no value.
my desire is only to know Him, to know His word,
and to share hope with the world.
I may be too radical,
I may be immoderate,
but I am not going to allow myself to be tethered by insignifcance and trivialities anymore.
God's grace is humbling me,
quieting me, and stretching me.
renewing and sculpting my heart into that of a servant.
this world is not my home,
I don't need to be troubled that I have no place that I have spent a childhood,
that my family is divided and moves and changes,
because I'm not even of this world.
I am not a citizen of america (PRAISE GOD),
I am a citizen of heaven.
I seek to please the Lord,
not myself, not the world.
as simple as that, as difficult as that.
God be with anyone who comes across this.
we need more grace than we can imagine. | | |
| blahhh
why do I still use xanga?
nooooo one leaves comments anymore.
only people that I don't even know stalk my site every day.
and so really, the only thing I'm doing by posting is subjecting myself to internet predators.
I think I spelled that wrong and I don't care.
today I am going to draw a beautiful picture.
because I need to be constructive.
and I haven't been arting very much lately.
I stayed up on the phone until five this morning.
I was lying in bed laughing, and I heard my dad getting up and making coffee.
I didn't realize that it was so late... or early.
I guess time flies when you're talking to the most awesome person in existance.
it's amazing that you can go so long without seeing a person
and still talk with them like they didn't move thousands of miles away and leave you
all alone in the central valley of california with no one that dresses like a banana.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I love Jesus so much.
I can't even explain. | | |
| I love that it's a new year. this is the year I graduate.
the year I move away.
I can't wait to experience all that comes my way this year.
and to learn and grow in all of the ways that I can. I smell like soap and peppermint oil,
and I love my family. p.s. there is a new puppy waiting for me in california!
his name is jonah.
he looks soo much like rocky. except for he's a puppy.
if he is half as incredible as rocky was, then he'll be amazing.
he's so freaking adorable. I can't wait to give him a big hug. | | |
| last night, matias' family had a christmas party.
we ate costa rican food, and sung christmas songs in their living room.
after nearly everyone left, we turned up the merengue
and they taught me how to dance.
matias burned me a cd of salsa and merengue
so that I can practice dancing.
it was so cute watching matias and his dad dance.
they look so similar. it was fun.
allyson and I tried to leave, but it was so foggy that you couldn't see
ANYTHING. and it was so late. so we stayed over.
and spent the day there.
I love that family, a lot. they are amazing.
I hope that when I get older, the family that I start is like that. we don't have a whole lot of presents under the tree,
but I looked, and it seems like I have more than everyone else.
and that really, really bothers me so much.
I can't quite grasp what it is about this that bothers me so much.
but I'm sure it goes much deeper, or something.
it just kind of makes me uncomfortable. but anyway,
today I felt God's peace in a way that I have not felt in months.
I've been falling away so much.
and burdens upon burdens upon burdens
have been pressing down on me.
but today, I released them.
I finally took the good advice of a good friend,
and really gave it all to the Lord. to His glory. merry christmas. | | |
| it feels really good to be on christmas break it's so foggy that you can't see across the street.
I like it. | | |
