| Things I have learned since living alone: ~ I am not very good at picking ripe peaches out at the store...(that first one was super sour)
~ Buying groceries is a meticulous task...especially when you keep tally of how much you are spending.
~ I am much cleaner living on my own, probably because I know I have to clean it up.
~ Washing dishes...not overrated, and the longer you wait the harder and longer it takes to clean
~ You know that thing that mom's always say...if you clean up as you go along it takes less time and thing stay clean...or something like that, well its true
~ toilet paper seems to go really fast, oh, and its super expensive, (we should come up with a new product i mean between gas and toilet paper i am going to go broke...)
~ It's lonely making a meal for one
Well there is more, but its time to shower and get ready for class. another thing i have learned...being responsible is a must. | | |
| so i am only halfway through the first week of this semester and it already feels like i have gone through classes for three weeks...this is insane. i thought last semster was hard, but this one is even worse...well, justa lot more time and work, but i think better grades will be coming out of this semester. so that is a plus. I love my job at the hospital...it is great and everyday i come home from work i know that i could do this for the rest of my life... so that is super good and encouraging...well, just thought i'd put in a little update...love all...:) | | |
| This year something was revealed to me, and as I was writing it down I thought I would share it. One thing I have always loved about Christmas is the lights...this year I was just thinking about why I like them so much...besides the pretty colors and the soft glows, there was one thing that stuck out the most...Christmas lights add extra light to everything -- it brightens the darkness. That may be an obvious statement, but think of the relation. Here we are celebrating Jesus' birthday, and we use Christmas lights to decorate...adding extra light to everything -- piercing the darkness...and the exact brith we are celebrating was a pierce through the darkness...the night Jesus was born, was the night that darkness was forever pierced by the greatest light. and now, Christmas lights have a new special little glow. | | |

| I never was really much into country until I came to Bethel...but since then I have started listening to it more and there are some good songs. well there is this one that i just really like, and I think I want it played at my wedding. I cannot remember all the words but i do remember the chorus (or at least most of it). and this goes out to my daddy! "I loved her first,
I held her first,
and a place in my heart,
will always be hers.
From the first breath she breathed,
when she first smiled at me,
I knew that the love of a father runs deep.
and I prayed that she'd find you someday,
and its sure hard to give her away.
cause i loved her first." So I know that there is sometimes a twang and that some people wouldn't call 'country' music...but this song just makes it worth the twanginess and lack of music. Oh, and my daddy doesn't have xanga, so all you daddy's girls out there, make sure he knows about this...I know he will like it. It also kinda makes me think about our Heavenly Father...just how even before our earthly father could think of us, God - our heavenly father, loved us. He loved us first, He held us first, and we will always be His. From before we breathed, when we smiled up at Him, He loved us deeper than anything. He has the perfect person in store for us, and when the time is right, He'll be ready to be part of our two becoming one...cause He loved us first! | | |
