Never fails.

One thing that I have to continue to tell myself this past month is that Jesus never fails. When our plans are destroyed, He uses that to give us an even better plan. A plan that isn't going to fail, won't be easy and will benefit us much more than the original one ever would. Jesus is so faithful in this. When we realize that He DOES know what He is doing things get so much better. I always have to remind myself of this. Daddy's got this.
      This week has made me want to leave high school so badly. The drama and immaturity sometimes astonishes me. I just wish people would realize that in a few months, it's all over. We get a diploma and walk across that stage. After May 31st you might stay in contact with a couple people at the max but everything else fades away. It's so frustrating to stand around and watch people get so consumed in something that in a few months will be completely irrelevant. My biggest desire is just to leave something that will last. Jesus. I just want that to be grasped. He is the one thing that won't fade away. He never fails.
   On another note, my life is racing forward. I finish the first semester of my senior year in a few weeks!!! Which is absolutely crazy and mind blowing but incredibly fun to think about. That in just a few months I will be walking around on the campus of Oral Roberts University studying to be a nurse! :) Reflections is in full swing and we will have had 22 performances between Silver Bells and this Friday so...that's fun. Also, I'm a nervous wreck right now. But being a nervous wreck is making me focus more on the truth of my first paragraph. Regardless of how things go tomorrow, JESUS NEVER FAILS. He is constant.

10 things that I know to be true.

An actual MRI photo of my cerebrum at its' current state.  Sarah Kay, a famous poet known for her spoken word, suggests doing an exercise when you feel a little lost in the heaviness of life. She says to write down "three things that I know to be true" in order to be guided back to reality a little bit. This is an exercise she uses for poetry students in order to get their creative juices cranking and to show how these three things can show a commonality throughout the human race. No matter what you write or feel, most of the time we can trust that someone can relate to at least a few.  So, I am nearing the end of my junior year of college. That means one and a half more years until I am officially a college graduate with a bachelor's degree with my bright eyes looking toward a medical school. This thought fills my bones with anxiety and a shivering fear of the unknown, yet a weird sense of excitement. As I walk through my day-to-day life, my overly emotional s...

How the Enneagram has helped me

Image
I often say that the early 20s are some of the most confusing years of a person's life. For me, it has been a constant state of struggling to figure out how to answer the question, “tell me about yourself” when meeting new people or interviewing for a job. Just when I think I have my identity figured out, I discover more about myself that I hadn’t understood before - sometimes that’s me processing the past or evolving into the adult version of “me”. As I find myself changing, I also grapple with the idea of losing the “old me” - how can this be possible? I am me, and that’s that. Attempting to understand your identity is complex.  A visual of me trying to figure out my identity (2017) Image courtesy Giphy What identifies us anyway? I have wrestled with this question time and time again. In the US, we often answer questions about ourselves with our profession or something we “do”. But, does this really identify us? I have always had a small issue with this concept of identification....

Summer 2013

To sum this summer up in a measly blog post would  not begin to touch the impact these last few months have had on my heart. I think it is safe to say that God completely changed my life this summer. Completely is a big word, yes. I think in the beginning of June I didn't know what to expect. I was finishing the hardest year of high school and was not doing so fabulous. I knew that I had three "Vacations" in store for the summer but, in all honesty I didn't know how my heart would be after all of them. I learned so much this summer. Here's a few key things that I can honestly say God reminded/taught me this summer: 1. God is GOOD. He is always good. There is no bad part of Him. He is always the provider and He always loves. This summer I found His love once again. His perfect never failing love surrounded me as I was away from home, in a foreign country and especially in these last few weeks where I just don't know what the next step will be. If you haven...
