Decisions

Without Hope there is no Life; Without Life there is no Reality.

But when in Life do you choose Hope over Reality?

Knowing that someone's there to fight for you when you need it, 

makes dealing with it that much easier.

JUst Some Things I've Been Thinking About.....

I feel as if sometimes God has you stumble on things for a reason

(all from Pintrest)

YES!!!!!!

BEST DAY EVER!!! I am now a new AT Sophomore!!!!

Chasing Cars

We'll do it all

Everything

On our own

We don't need

Anything

Or anyone

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know

How to say

How I feel

Those three words

Are said too much

They're not enough

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time

Chasing cars

Around our heads

i need your grace

to remind me

to find my own

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we’re told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am

All that I ever was

Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where

Confused about how as well

Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Those Crazy Days of Summer

Well here it is, the last day of school. It’s funny how as a kid you look forward to the last day of school almost as much as Christmas. The last day of school means no more homework, end of the year parties, music and summer. The last day of school isn’t sad at all. Maybe because you know tomorrow you’re still going to see the exact same people. Maybe why that makes it even harder now. Maybe its because I’m slowly checking out residents and saying goodbyes or maybe it’s the hope of things that could be/ maybe next year or maybe it’s the emptiness that seems to be at every corner of the dorm, but as much as I’m ready for summer I hate that it’s the end of the year. Its funny, you would think that after doing this for many years it would be the norm. But the understanding of never seeing some people again looms overhead. Don’t get me wrong, I just as much as anyone is looking forward to the summer ahead and being home but with the summer holding so many unknowns, today I’m thinking back to those grade school days of summer and hoping that this one is just as much carefree as the ones before it.

A Childlike Faith

I blogged a few days ago about a book that my mom sent me in the mail.

I had been looking forward to reading it but finally last night got to start it. I wasn't sure what to expect, I like real human interest stories but wasn't sure how this was going to come across.

Well, once again that was stupid. This book was amazing. The book is about a boy named Colton who after an amazing recovery from a perforated appendix amazed his family for months and years after telling them of scenes and images straight from Heaven itself. But there was one underlying message that I desperately need to hear. One of having a childlike faith.

Lately I have been feeling lost and a little disconnected from God. I believe this has a lot to do with the few big things in my life that are open ended. I don't know what is going to happen in the next couple of months. If you know me you know that I have a hard time not being in control and an even harder time giving it up. Letting go and giving full control, trust and faith to God has been hard. Really hard. But this book? Reminded me that making it through life with faith doesn't need to be a big production, it doesn't need to be complicated. In reality it is best done with a childlike faith.

"Please believe that things are good with me, and even when they're not, they will be soon enough. And I will believe the same about you."

Magic in the Air

Well who did it? Who woke up to watch the Royal Wedding? I did and I am not afraid to admit it. I love that even days later it's still a celebration. There is still a party and a feel of magic in the air. I want this at my wedding. Okay so we can't all be Royal Brides but how cool would it be to have a party lasting for days? And the feeling in the air for a week? And lets be honest her dress?!

Control

How is it that one little word can mean so much? Can cause so much excitement and so much stress? There are many things in my life that I want to be in control of but have come to realize that the only way I'm going to stay sane is to give up. If you really know me you know that while I'm care free and can be pretty indecisive, on the inside I need to be in control. It's funny that no matter who you are there is a point at which you can do no more and you must let go. I'm there. I can't move forward unless I fully give up. I can't lie. It's hard. I'm scared and I have to constantly remind myself to not think about giving up but reminding myself that I'm moving forward. So here I go....
    God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; 

     courage to change the things I can;
     and wisdom to know the difference.

     Living one day at a time;
     Enjoying one moment at a time;
     Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
     Taking, as He did, this sinful world
     as it is, not as I would have it;
     Trusting that He will make all things right
     if I surrender to His Will;
     That I may be reasonably happy in this life
     and supremely happy with Him
     Forever in the next.
                 Amen.
