The Big One

We can never love God as much as he loves us!

I am constantly reminded that I am not alone. I am cherished. I am loved. I am sought after.

Even if I am utterly alone in my little mind bubble, and the people around me don't understand a thing, I am not solitary.

I am always in a state of togetherness.

I am in sweet communion with the One. The Big One. The Creator.

When I am completely off my game socially, emotionally, academically, I can rely upon the Big One. He's got it all.

I am thankful for my God. I think in some ways I am always thankful for my God, but today I am thankful for His constantsy. He is consistently on my side, the one at my back pushing me forward and whispering in my ear.

My only wish is that I would live like this is true. That my mindset would be such that this is a real factor in my daily life. That it would show to others around me that I have complete confidence in the Big One.

Now, we'll see about tomorrow...another day, another chance to live like I am not alone.

I Love Hearts n' Things

Valentine's Day in the making!!!!!!

Writing valentines tonight and making cookies tomorrow!

Yay for a day of love!!!

And I'm writing a few mini-cards too.

Gender Roles with Tea

I am thankful for TEA!

It's not a very exciting picture, but my life is not very exciting right at this moment.

I've been working on my sociology paper on gender and sex roles today, and it's been very low-key. If there's one thing that can be said for college, it's that it makes you contemplate everything under the sun from the nature/nurture debate to your stance on organic food products. It's quite a trip.

But for now, I think I am done writing this paper and will proceed to more homework before I call it a night.

Grab Life By the Horns

We are given so many gifts and talents,

we should grab hold of them!

make the most of them,

use them fully,

and take confidence that we can do these things we are given to do.

They say that sometimes in test-taking, confidence can influence up to 30% of the grade.

I think that says confidence is a big deal.

So have faith!

Be at peace,

and use confidently what you have been given!

How Deep

Let love and faithfulness never leave you;

bind them around your neck,

write them on the tablet of your heart.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and

lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways submit to him,

and he will make your paths straight.

Goats. In a Tree.

Here are some goats in a tree for you.
