    "One might think the atmosphere was made transparent with this design, to give man, in the heavenly bodies, the perpetual presence of the sublime."
    - Ralph Waldo Emerson


    "Certainty is the mark of the common-sense life: gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life...When we become advocates of a creed, something dies; we do not believe God, we only believe our belief about Him...If we are only certain in our beliefs, we get dignified and severe and have the ban of finality about our views; but when we are rightly related to God, life is full of spontaneous, joyful uncertainty and expectancy."
    - Oswald Chambers


    "If I can stay in the middle of the turmoil calm and unperplexed, that is the end of the purpose of God. God is not working towards a particular finish; His end is the process."
    - Oswald Chambers


    "Sounds of laughter shades of life / Are ringing through my open ears / Exciting and inviting me / Limitless undying love / Which shines around me like a million suns / It calls me on and on across the universe."
    - John Lennon "Across the Universe"


    "There will be time, there will be time / To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet... / Time for you and time for me / And time yet for a hundred indecisions / And for a hundred visions and revisions / Before the taking of a toast and tea."
    - T.S. Eliot "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"

About

I’m Danielle, 22, studying Psychology at Baylor University. I can be the optimist or the pessimist, the realist or the idealist. Everything is relative.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 says “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” I believe that fully – I see God’s workmanship everywhere, but I don’t pretend or expect to understand it.

I have the best family in the world. You know how when you’re little you think your dad is superman? Well don’t tell anyone, but mine really is : ) And my sisters are the kind you see in the movies – with them I can cry, I can laugh, I can cry because I’m laughing so hard (this is a frequent occurrence), and even better, I can always, always count on them.

I also managed to find some of the best friends a girl could ask for. Hi Lacey! : ) Date nights, heart-to-hearts, and 3 a.m. dance parties pretty much sum up our relationship! I am truly, truly blessed.

So I’m young, still learning, but there are a few things I do know for sure..

This is what I’ve come to find: Life is about experiencing the moments worth remembering, finding the things that make you happy, learning about yourself and those around you, valuing the relationships you establish, and meeting the people that will change your life. Love. Be loved. TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED.
