This woman's tattoos look awesome. She's in Chicago. When I get thin, I totally want one!
You are my strength and my song
I don't give God enough credit. He has been doing awesome things in my life lately, and I am happy...and I guess I say thank you, but not nearly enough.
I wish that I could say with full certainty that I trust God, and know that he will never forsake me. But whenever I get to the point where I need to trust Him, it gets hard. Just because I trust Him doesn't mean that he won't TAKE ME OUT! I want to live this life! I want to love and be loved, I want to get married and have babies. I want a career, I want a house. I want all of these things. I am probably being selfish. I've always been taught as a Christian that we are not supposed to love this earth, this place. Because it will be gone in a moment. Well, I'm sorry God, but I love being alive! I dont want to go to heaven yet...or anytime soon. I think the reason why I have this trust issue, is because I don't know what heaven will be like, and I'm afraid that all we will be doing is what we do in church every Sunday...praise songs and listening to Bob Merrit speak from the satellite video from the Lino Lakes campus. Uh, isn't there something else that will be more exciting. I dont want to be in heaven singing David Crowder songs. Heaven is supposed to be better than that, and I guess I feel like God isn't going to let us have any fun.
Since starting grad school this last January, I feel alot more optimistic about life. I love my classes, and though I have about a year and a half left, I am melancholy about graduating. I would go to school forever if I could. However, you would not guess this by looking at my organization skills. I have so many things that I know are coming up, but here I sit, in front of my computer....doing things that don't need to be done. Then when it comes hand in time, I freak! I stress! I stay up way to late! I do okay at least. I got 29/30 on my last 30 min. presentation I did...and I only prepared for about 2 1/2 hours the night before. Kick ass!
There are other good things in my life that I would like to talk about...but maybe at a later date. I'm sleepy!
