driving in slow motion.

When I was driving home tonight the blue clouds filled the sky. Some song was on the radio and while I was going fast.. time seemed to stand still. It was beautiful. So many things running through my head but not a word could I utter. I was literally speechless. The best part is when I got home Blink by Revive came on, I turned it up loud, stood outside my car and lived in the moment.

It. was. great.

When you have a "moment" SOAK IT UP. =)

bippity boppity boo!

Being a vegetarian for a month=fail. Props to all those who are, it's not an easy thing unless you really hate the taste of meat. I just really like chicken as well as beef.

The other night I had a dream I met the Jonas brothers, I think it's because i stopped following them on twitter. haha

So my dad is selling his limo so he can go help me get situated in the SYD, I felt really bad but then I talked to someone who helped me understand better. I saw Bill Yuhaz at church last week and he gave me some "dad" insight.
He said as a father, or any parent, (but i think especially dads) you want to see your children have joy and happiness in their lives. And you will do almost anything to help and see them achieve their goals and joy, even if you have to give things up youself. Just to see your child in happiness makes you happy.

This opened my eyes in a whole new way, It's a tangible cross, if you will. What I mean is, I get it. My dad loves me so much he would give up his limo, his business, and his money that I may know ultimate joy. Given, Hillsong isn't my ultimate joy, and my dad isn't giving up his job, but it's the principle of the matter. I see the love, and the sacrifice.

Our Jesus would give it ALL just so I could know joy, and Love. I like how God amazes me through these things. He's a Big God. It's cool.

LOve you like whoa!

Missing the Point, the Point of Difference

So I was talking to a dear friend the other day and this friend assumed that because I didn't know what I was going to do with my life, and I don't have a boyfriend that I would end up a cat lady. I was speechless, just because I couldn't believe he didn't understand. He just didn't get it.
It hit me like a train how different our mindsets are.

I don't think I've ever really realized how many people are after the "American Dream" a good job, with good pay, and a family. I'm probably as far away from that as i could possibly be. Going to Australia for 2-3 years,with no after plan, could honestly care less if I meet someone (even though i joke), and certainly no money. But I couldn't be more happy or feel more at peace. It blows me how many people are looking for joy in those things..... when we aren't called to live the "American Dream" at all. I mean no offense to those who are living it, power to ya, I know some great families. It's just a hard thing to explain, ya know?

Anyway another subject, so I'm a veggitarian this month, just to see what it like. For some reason everyone thinks i'm doing it to diet or lose weight. Let's gets something straight, first, If i were to diet i wouldn't cut out chicken, the best protien in the world. Second, if i wanted to diet i could cut out starches... not meat. Lastly, I like food, I would much rather eat better and excersice than diet. So stop assuming veggitarians want to lose weight.

Ok last night when I was leaving Vitamin World there was this teenage girl that was sitting out of the mall. It was like 930 so I was thinking hmmm maybe I should see if she needed a ride, so I thought about asking but I never did because my jank front windows don't roll down. But I kind of wish I did anyway just to see what she would have said. Has that ever happened to you. Sometimes I wish I were braver and didn't let circumstances keep me from acting out, and dumb ones at that.
Well I love you like whoa!!
=)
be Jesus.
