It's weird how
You sometimes pray for something with the attitude of “this is never actually going to happen” and then that’s the one prayer that gets answered very promptly. God, thank you for being bigger than the circumstances of life and for being able to do anything. Not just the things I think are plausible, but absolutely anything. You are so awesome. Thank you for answering my prayers...
I don't think I'm allowed...
To complain about people having walls. My walls are just as high and as hard to break through as other people’s. However, I’m getting tired of thinking over things 2, 3, and 4 times before I say them… Maybe I should try actually being myself for once… If I even really knew who that was.
Finally beginning to learn to relinquish my control over situations and allowing God to do His will through my life instead of trying to get Him to do my will. It really is amazing how much peace comes from this and how much smoother things go this way.
God is good
all the time

I'm shaking
I can’t handle this. I just can’t. Not that it even means anything for me personally, things will probably stay the same as they are right now.
However, the dream I had last night was too real for words and it ended up being true this morning. What is happening to me????

Of this one thing I'm certain:
God answers prayers and it doesn’t take a lot of big words and repetition for Him to answer them. It’s often the most simple requests that He answers almost instantly.
I know I’m in the right place and I’m looking forward to the coming weeks and months to see what God has in store for me and what He has planned for the people in my life who don’t even know that God...

I need to stop...
thinking about where I’m going to be in a year and a half and start living in the moment.
True, I will probably be leaving Savannah in a year and a half which I’m freaking out over a bit… but I’m here now so I need to really really enjoy it and build relationships that can survive long distances.
Why can’t I just stay in this moment forever… why do things...
All I really want to do this year
1. Draw a lot and not be concerned with whether my drawings look like someone else’s. I need to stop comparing myself to every person here which only serves to make me upset and overwhelmed. I have artistic talent and I’m ready to stop being afraid and start using it.
2. Spend WAY less time on the Internet. I’m already doing better with this, but I need to keep getting...
New Years Resolutions
1. Memorize scripture. I really would like to finish memorizing Philippians.
2. Read a lot of books, especially Christian books which will help me grow in my faith and hopefully prepare me better for seminary.
3. Spend a lot of time in prayer and worship.
4. Find some more volunteer opportunities.
5. Read the Bible every day
6. Spend a lot less time online.
7. Sketch every day even if...

It’s so much easier not to be consumed by the internet when I actually have fun things going on in my real life. I haven’t really checked anything today and it has kind of been nice!
Thankful
So thankful to God to have the opportunity to try and love people the way that Jesus loves me. I know that I wouldn’t have the relationship with Him that I do if it weren’t for a couple of people who pursued me in spite of my shyness and in spite of my perception that I didn’t fit in. I want to love people exactly the way they are so they can see that Jesus loves them exactly the...
I’m enjoying this chapter in my life and I’m trying to soak everything up while I still can because I know that nothing ever stays the same. I’m determined to make the most out of the rest of this year and to live in the moment instead of dwelling on the past or always thinking of the future. God has blessed me with peace of mind and a joy for life and I’m loving it.

I don't know
where I belong.
I feel like I’m stuck somewhere between the life I used to love and can’t let go of
and the life I don’t quite have yet and can’t imagine.

I wish I had more time to...
learn
I wish I had the time to learn languages. Lot’s of languages and be fluent in all of them so I could communicate with every person in the world.
I wish I had the time to write a novel
and read more books
and increase my vocabulary using one of those “word of the day” websites.
I wish I had more time to do art
so I could master the craft of drawing, painting,...
Things I want to do tomorrow
1. Finish reading “Blue Like Jazz”
2. Clean my room
3. Put ornaments on the Christmas tree
4. Roll change so I can have some monies in my debit account
5. Draw in my sketchbook
6. Work on/maybe finish my puzzle
7. Research seminaries
8. Respond to my friend’s message on Facebook
9. Clean out my car
10. Discover some new music/make an epic Christmas playlist on spotify...
I’m even more thankful for my single state tonight as I realize that when you are in a relationship/especially when you get married, single people problems don’t just magically go away, instead they are amplified.
I know that I am never even going to be close to perfect, but I do want to make sure I have big issues worked out in my life before I attach my life to someone else’s....

Thoughts
I couldn’t help but think tonight that even though I am excited to date someone and get married someday, I’m also grateful for this time of singleness in my life. However, I know this time isn’t going to last forever so I kind of just want to take it all in and enjoy it. I want to enjoy being able to form solid friendships that will last even when I do start dating someone. I...
I'm thankful
More and more I’m thankful that I played video games growing up and that I still do. Guys always find this to be attractive and they usually don’t think upon meeting me that I’m into that kind of stuff. Really hoping that someday I can play super smash bros. and Pokemon and other games with my husband.
Dear future husband,
I’m looking forward to meeting you and...

It's weird to think
My future children will more than likely get to meet the punisher (aka my fluffy cat)
I think about my future kids a lot. Like when I was in the Disney store today and I wished they were there so I had a legitimate reason to get a stuffed animal (I have more stuffed animal than any person needs)
I think about how I’m going to show them all the cartoons from my childhood like 90s...
Strange things I do
#1 When at a red light I make sure I’m not right next to the person in the lane next to me. I line my car up so they can’t see me through my driver’s side window. I do this for a few reasons:
1. If the person is a dangerous killer they won’t be able to shoot me in the head
2. If I’m singing the person can’t see me singing so they can’t judge me
3. If...

Christa Black: What the heck does 'INTIMACY' mean... →
christablack:
Intimacy.
They very thought of it petrifies some, having had their hearts burned on the hot stove of someone’s carelessness and cruelty. Others find it to be a driving force towards the mystery we’re all longing for. Love.
Intimacy—to be naked, spiritually, emotionally, and (possibly)…

Philippians
Last year at Passion we were given a challenge to memorize the book of Philippians. I haven’t even begun to do this yet, but when I get out of school on November 17th for Winter break I’m going to do it. Anyone who is reading this can keep me to it, but I will have the entire book of Philippians memorized by Passion 2012.
