I'm back

My number of posts in the last few weeks have been zero to none.  That's because I've been busy and/or haven't thought about it and for that I'm a little sorry but not too much so.  Ya see, life has been happening for me, and said life has been busier than normal.  I got back from vacation early in the morning on Friday, August 16th.  On the 18th, a bunch of my dad's side of the family came to town for a birthday party celebrating my grandpa's 95th birthday.  On the 19th, I had my first day of classes in 2 years and then went to work.  On tuesday of the same week, Jake started a new job (meaning a new schedule), and my sister's soccer games began.  I probably don't need to state this again, but it's been busy. I feel like I'm just now starting to get used to the new, fuller schedule.  If it's any consolation, blogging hasn't been the only thing I've been behind on.  My running has almost fully fallen to the wayside and don't even get me started on other hobbies like art projects and sewing.
I am happy to say that I haven't neglected all reading, however, and have spent good amounts of time studying, sleeping, being with people, lurking on imgur and attempting to eat healthily.  All is not lost. 
Slowly, I'm figuring out the adjusted way to balance things and hopefully that includes not neglecting this blog for weeks at a time anymore. . .
Anyway, here are some vacation pictures I'm going to oogle over and you're welcome to join me.

Nashville in the morning. (the way there)

Nashville at night (the way back).






What a delicious veiw!  Also, took me a while to see the
rainbow in the uppler left, but it's there!

 

I got a leetle sunburnt.

My friend, Kayla, whose family kindly took me on vacation with them.


Tried to get a nice selfie on the beach. Nailed it.

to just BE

This semester of college is officially over as of last friday when I emailed my english teacher my final essays.  Halleluyer! I just checked and the last time I posted here was almost a month ago. It definitely feels like waaaay longer though and I've been itching to write again.  I've basically abandoned my podcast the past few weeks as well and while I don't feel all guilt tripped to be more consistent about these things, I really just want to do them more often simply because I enjoy them.  Probably needless to summarize, I've been busy.  But not always with matters I had no choice in.  Some of the busyness came from having spent my time reading or watching netflix shows while I cleaned my room or crocheting (or trying to) a full-size blanket or just chilling with Jake, etc. etc. etc.  Truth is that yes, I've been busy but no, I didn't have to be as busy as I have been.  However, being busy, I have accomplished things and I'm glad about that.  I guess it

Clear The Stage

This song was first brought to my attention a few months ago - when one of my biggest idols was being exposed for what it really was. Since I've been learning all along, but especially today, that vulnerability is something that should increase as you become more and more rooted in the Lord, I will be vulnerable with you here and now.  One of my biggest idols for about half of my life was liking guys.  And while it was specific guys that I would like, my idol was moreso just having someone to daydream, think, talk and pray about. I realize that liking somebody isn't sin in itself.  I actually think that romanctic love is one of the big ways that the Lord is glorified through our hearts as humans.  It became an idol though, because I allowed it to be my god.  I based my relationship with God on how my love life was.  When someone would ask me how I was, I would reply based on my relationship with the person I liked.  When I prayed, a majority of the content of my

Seasons: Right Now

As it has only been since last night that I wrote my first post in my new series, "Seasons", I don't necessarily have a whole lot more to say about my planning for the posts so I think I'm gonna dive right in. Something I like doing is sitting in coffee shops while I blog (VERRY original, I know).  I'm in one right now and have a Pumpkin Pie Chai on one side of the table and a Coconut Chocolate Chip Scone on the other (now you can be jealous of my overpriced and extremely unhealthy consumptions so far today).  This brings me to the first season I'm gonna talk about . . . . RIGHT NOW. Right now I'm 19 years old.  I'm about 3 1/2 months away from moving to Kansas City for at least six months to do an internship at the International House of Prayer.  I'm not a mom, not a wife and for sure don't have everything even close to figured out.  I would go so far as to say that I barely have anything figured out.  Now you're probably trying to fig
