Enjoy It Before It's Over

It's pretty simple. Life is too busy and things move way too fast to spend time worrying and fretting when all we should be doing is enjoying the little things and living to the absolute fullest. Give every care to Jesus, lay it at His feet. And then rest in Him and just enjoy life, and everything it has to offer. Enjoy the sounds and the smells and the laughter and the straight up beauty. Enjoy the people and the memories and the feelings and the good times and even the bad because it's all a learning experience. Enter into everything you do with one hundred and ten percent and never hold anything back. Take in every little detail, and freeze those memories in your mind. Be confident in who you are and who you were created to be, and never let anyone tell you who you can and can't be. Just be crazy and laugh alot till your stomach hurts and give lots of hugs. Appreciate the people in your life, and always remember to say I love you. Make goals and go after them. Don't just do something to do it, but have purpose. Be thankful all the time, and smile alot. ENJOY IT BEFORE IT'S OVER

A New Adventure

Do you ever just get those days where all you wanna do is go buy a plane ticket and jump on the next flight? Just go somewhere totally knew and experience totally different things, and just be crazy in a new place. Happens to me all the time, and today is so one of those days. I just wanna go somewhere wild and new right now. It's not even because I'm unhappy with where I am, or anything that happens. Something just comes over me where I crave new places, and new people and new experiences. I just wanna jump in the car and go. It would be lovely to land upon a beach, with a surfboard. I would honestly do anything to surf on some ridiculous waves right now. It's like I'm in love with people I've never met and cities I've never been too. And obviously someday I'm planning on traveling allll over the place. But I kinda just wanna start now. The thing is it's not even like I have specific destinations in mind or anything, just to go somewhere, and be so spontaneous. Just a new adventure. Hmm, one day.

Gahhhl, I just have so many things to be thankful for in life its kinda ridiculous. My heart is just exploding with happiness, at all the good good things. I get this feeling whenever I think about all that there is to be happy about where I kinda just wanna scream, and then I get real excited and like to list it all off in my head. It happens alot at night whenever I'm just thinkin, and then I'm stuck in my room and probably can't make alot of noise. So I'm just gonna list it all out on here instead.

*The weekend I had with my family. BEST  FAMILY EVER
*Fudge
*The fact that I'm burned and have sore muscles.. normally that would suck. But it doesn't cause it means tan later and tan means summer and summer means no school. And the sore muscles means I was skiing which I don't get to do often. So I'm a happy camper.
*I drove about 2 hours today without crashing into anything, or killing anyone in the car.
*My dogs.. their like my little bundles of puppy jumpy love
*Blankies and fans.. the 2 are an excellent combination
*My eye sight. All the beauty up at the cabin this weekend was crazy, and I loved just taking it all in
*Ice cold water and Arizona tea

I think I'll stop there for now, but to put it simply life is good.

The Lover Of Your Soul

Instead of us always trying to fix ourselves, and make things better, and trying to fill in the pieces, we need to fix our eyes on Jesus, the Lover of our Souls. We need to focus our gaze on Him, and Him alone. It's then that we find all that we need, and truly get satisfied. It's His love that fills us, makes us whole. And it's in Him that we find all that we need. "Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame." - Psalm 34:5 As long as we keep our eyes on Him, we won't sink. It's so easy for me to get nervous and anxious about all the different things going on in life, and my future and not knowing what anything that lays ahead holds. And it's so easy to get wrapped up inside that worry. But if my eyes are on Jesus, none of that other stuff seems to even matter, because I only want what He wants for me. My whole life I've always had this one dream. It's never really seemed to change. But the more I wanted my life to be to His glory, my dream kinda began to shift. It was still the same general idea, just a shift in purpose. And that's exactly the point. I want my purpose of living to be the simple reason of bringing glory to His name. He created me with a plan in mind, and I'm so excited for the crazy journey I know He's gonna take me on. I know it won't be easy all the time, but that's why my eyes will be on Him, the Lover of My Soul. And sometimes things have to get harder before they get easier. Each day is just another opportunity for me to get closer and closer to Him, as He's shaping, using, changing, and molding me into the person I was created to be. That sounds super cheesy and cliche, but it's so true. So instead of my trying to fix myself all the time, I'm just gonna fix my eyes on Jesus, the Lover of My Soul
