huh

We went to the movies and he opened all the doors and he paid. This is a problem. Because I don’t know what is going on. I actually was kind of nervous like I got butterflies. That never happens. This is interesting.

reasons why i am happy

1. I got the job at the day care at my church where one of my best friends works (her dad is in charge and his assistant has a daughter in the youth group where I am interning so I’m surrounded by God-loving people unlike Cracker Barrel)
2. I AM GETTING A CAR! well actually my parents are selling me my mom’s car for only $1000…I can’t believe it like this is not real life. I will have to pay insurance and gas which leads me to number 3….
3. I still have to work at CB on the weekends :( but it is only 2-3 days a week instead of 7 so I will gladly take that.
4. I’ve decided that I am definitely doing a single summer, meaning I am going to get my focus off of guys and onto God from through September 1st (at the very earliest…I feel like I’m gonna be so fulfilled by God that guys won’t really interest me… I also feel like I know myself and I’ll need to fight to focus on God once I get here so this may run the course of all of the next school year as well). I bought a new book that focuses on this and I have one that I bought last summer so now I will have real, in-depth devotions to do in addition to my Jesus Calling!
5. I’ve learned so much over these first semesters at school and I just feel so enlightened about so many things I can even put into words how I feel about it but it’s good and I won’t even try to list things because it would make this post even longer than it is and I wouldn’t do it justice anyway. I found a big sister at school and her name is Ally and she is lovely and gives great advice and takes care of me and understands me and we don’t see eachother that often but it’s okay because SHE IS LIVING WITH ME OVER THE SUMMER AND I DIE I JUST DIE. GONNA HAVE A SISTER FOR THE SUMMER.
6. I love my youth group. I’ve learned so much interning under my youth pastor this semester and he is really getting my out of my shell which is good for me! terrifying but for sure good. I have been trusted and given responsibility and accomplished tasks and loved when I have made mistakes; it’s just been such a great learning environment. I’ve also made really good friends with most of the people in our discipleship program and college ministry which is nice because they are my age.
7. I am playing softball this summer! for the church’s team with some of my friends and some people I don’t know which creates opportunities for new friends! (a great combination of things I love). It is slow pitch softball and our team didn’t win one game next year so there is absolutely no pressure which is good for me. I will get to be active and have an athletic, fun outlet.
8. I may possibly be getting to sing with my yg’s worship band sometime soon which is totally wack! I’m not a singer at all but I love to sing especially to Jesus and this is definitely something that I want to do…I guess you could say it’s on my bucket list or something like that. I’m utterly terrified but for some reason this is happening so we’ll see where that goes.
9. I feel like I am doing a lot better academically this semester. My motivation is stronger than last semester as is my discipline of actually doing homework! I’ve been trying to do extra credit to help bump up my grades a little bit and hopefully my gpa will improve or stay at least stay the same!
10. Since I am a girl I will conclude with a shallow, self-image post that will cause eyerolls but I don’t care because I can’t leave this list off at 9 like no there must be an even number of things….I think I’ve managed to keep most of the weight off that I lost last year. I have plans to hopefully go to the gym this summer and get in better shape. I also got new glasses which were much needed after 4 years with the same frames! I dyed my hair so my light roots don’t look gray against the red! I also got my bangs fixed so they don’t look ugly anymore and my hair is also growing out which is LOVELY because I want long hair again so so so so bad like I am never ever cutting it again. My belly ring is pretty much healed which is reassuring. I also may take out the nose ring…not sure about that one. I want to get something pierced this summer, probably my cartilege. I am starting to more strongly want a tattoo but I don’t have anything set in stone so I need to reflect and pray on it because I need to be 100% positive. I have also succeeded in making my eyelashes look really long with the help of great mascara and an eyelash curler.

also, i had a very productive day because i got a crap ton of homework done after spending the whole morning and afternoon with my church family/best friends/the loves of my life. this does not warrant a number because 1-10 are all big things and this is small but still great because God is great and everything is great and the rain is just beautiful and i bought new songs on itunes and i cleaned my room and weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee so productive! okay bye sorry this post is a novel bye.

WOOO

when’s a cute Christian boy going to take me out on a date, kiss me in the rain, and then talk about God?

The kiss me in the rain part is usually too cliche for me, but why not? 

HEY HEY IT’S ALMOST MY BIRTHDAY

something-in-between:

And that’s all I have to say

the-absolute-funniest-posts:

everyone: are you okay
everyone: you look tired
everyone: you look upset
everyone: you look confused
everyone: are you mad at me
everyone: what are you mad at
