Amor.

I can't even explain how random this may be but, when you're in love.. random is kind of a second language.

I am in love.

I am so incredibly blessed to be in love with someone who makes the sun shine a little brighter on gloomy days and knows how to make me laugh when absolutely nothing seems funny. This guy, he is really something special. He takes care of me when I am in the deepest of sorrows and smiles with me when everything is right in the world.
It's been a few years since I first met him and we have definitely had our ups and downs, our relationships that can't really be labeled successful, our laughs and our tears but now, being in a real and serious relationship with him, I realize that our past regardless of how stressful and painful it may have been, was so worth it.
When I say this man is special it's an understatement. I can think of hundreds of times years ago when he would share his dream of changing his country with me, his love for Christ and his love for his family. He is truly a family man and a phenomenal teacher at his school he works at. He treats his sisters and mother like royalty and respects his father so much.
He lets me dream and will go along with my dreams, believing with me that one day they will not be dreams but reality. 
All of these qualities make me love him all the more.
On top of this all, he is a giver and a lover.
He gives so much to people who have nothing and loves anyone.
I'm so blessed to be one of those people.
This man treats me like I'm princess Diana or some kind of celebrity, aside for the thousands of jokes he cracks daily. I am so thankful for him and his respect and love for me. Majority of the time, when something goes bad, he tries to keep calm and find the good. That's so encouraging to see.
I don't think, well actually I know, he doesn't believe all of this is true.
I think sometimes he finds himself as the screw up or the one that isn't nearly as smart as his girlfriend says he is but he is so wrong. He's wonderful.
I guess I might look too far ahead and might be desiring something that's too far fetched but I am in love with him, and I would like to spend my life reminding him of these things. It's honestly one of my prayers that I would lift him up and cause him to believe in those unthinkable dreams that Jesus has placed upon his heart. I want to be his biggest fan in all that he wishes to do. I want to be the one who pushes him closer to Christ daily and loves him despite the flaws he may see. These are my prayers for my phenomenal boyfriend. I pray that through the distance we would both learn patience and that the greatest lessons are taught in the waiting room. I pray that we would cause each other to become stronger through trial and temptation, stronger in Christ. I pray that we would be good to each other for the time that we have one another. I pray that I can be good to him.

I seriously love this man.


Happy Valentine's Day. ❤️

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...
