Just rambling :)

So... I'm pretty excited. I get to read a book out loud to one of my friends from school! I seriously can't wait. I have always loved to read out loud... especially when it's so relevant!

I realized two things today~
1. I love talking about things I am passionate about. I could have sat and talked to the juniors for hours. They were so attentive (unlike our retarded seniors!), and actually listened (I think, at least!). I have such a love for people, and I can't wait to use that for the rest of my life. There were a couple words that pretty much described me to a T in the book I was reading today. "Aliced possessed natural talents~ her ability to communicate and observe, her caution, her empathy, and her love of people." Wow. So me.

2. Costumes make everything so super real. Putting on a costume today made me Cornelia. It made me more dramatic (it IS possible, contrary to what some people might believe!), and I had no problem being flirty and over-the-top. I am so stoked to be young.

It was really windy today, and all day I had been having to take out my pony tail and put it back in... because my wispies would fly away and be in my face. On the way home, I had the windows down, and my grown out (almost) bangs were flying everywhere like crazy. So I took my pony tail out and let the whole head of hair just have it's way with the wind. It was so freeing. It was like a battle between the elements and each piece of hair. Well, the wind won. But, my hair fought a good fight! :)

More and more I am realizing how thankful I am for encouragement. Our school is a great school, not super negative and happy for the most part. But encouraging? Maybe not so much. But God knows. God knows what lacks, and where He can fill those gaps. I love that! He has shown me so much in my waiting how beautiful He can make each season of my life :) And He has filled each gap in ways better than I ever could have dreamed. It's so cool to think that the dream God dreams for me is so much better than anything I could ever possibly fathom for myself.

Best friends aren't for a season. They are forever :)

I love to laugh from the gut... an earth altering, tears-in-the-eyes laugh. The world around me seems to melt away for a while.

Ah, Jesus. Today was a great day. I absolutely adore You.

Off to watch my boys ;)
