    "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"

saturated

Ok. I don’t know if it’s hormones or stress or what, but I have become completely exasperated with my situation. At the same time that  I’m trying to plan my future (moving, finding a job, a place to live, applying to school, etc.), I’m also still stuck with all these meaningless obligations and I am [...]

i heart technology

It’s officially Fall Break! Yay! I was originally planning on camping at Lost Maples this weekend but it just didn’t quite come together. It would’ve been really amazing to see this time of year, but I’m happy to have a day off either way. And it’s probably better this way because I would’ve had to [...]

and when that world slows down dear…

I feel so unproductive today. I started off great.. got up at 8:30, got to school about 9, had myself half a muffin, went to running class, went to health, got some lunch, came home and ate it with every intention of showering and then going to my 2:00 class. Didn’t happen. Not even close [...]

when you’re gone all the colors fade

I got an email today asking me to verify my diploma information! That was a weird feeling… everything’s becoming so much more real all of a sudden and I like it  : ) And as much as I am so ready to never live in Waco, there are definitely parts of it I’ll miss. Showing [...]

no doubt in my mind where you belong

I am so ready to move out. I was talking to Juli the other day about how I’m at the point in my life where I’m kind of done talking about and planning my future, and am right on the edge of having to actually DO it. I’ve spent so much time anticipating, and now [...]

it reminded me twice that i was alive

So you know how most people say that exercising puts them in a good mood and makes them feel generally happy? Well until about a week ago I completely disagreed with that idea. I’ve exercised plenty of times before and very rarely did I feel good afterward. In fact, really any kind of exercise tended [...]

you turned out to be more than i bargained for

I am such a female. I’m sitting here trying to be pissed off and pouty about all the studying I still have to do tonight, and I just can’t do it knowing my unbelievably amazing boyfriend is on his way to Waco, just for the evening. As if that weren’t sweet enough just once in [...]

no other way

Ok I’ve officially decided I’m going to start writing here again. I wish I had written more in my travel blog when I was in Maastricht.. now I just feel stupid writing about traveling because it’s been a month since I’ve even been in Europe. There’s plenty to say now that I’m home though!
To recap: [...]

travels

For the summer I’ll be writing in a different blog that will keep track of my travels around Europe! Find it HERE.

one more time

Ok I’m going to try this whole online journaling thing (i refuse to use the word “blogging”) one more time. We’ll see what happens..
