Summer Time

Summer started on Monday, and I missed it! How did that happen? Finals are over, school is done; how did I miss the beginning of summer? I don't want to miss one bit of it anymore. Unfortunately, life isn't that easy.

I'd love to be young and care-free again, to watch t.v. 'til the break of dawn. I dream of driving off in the early morn for who-knows-what to come home in the evenings for an impromptu pool party. I want to spend a lazy day at home in my jammies, prepared for a marathon of movies and a series of shows to watch. I just want free time to do stuff. I don't care what that stuff is, as long as it has nothing to do with an eight hour obligation.

Oh, the taste of the real world, it is bittersweet. I don't enjoy the toil, but I do love the reward. This summer's plans aren't what I want, but it's God wants for me. This summer is for learning, for growing, for attempting to understand God's plan for my life. Let's see where this summer takes me; hopefully, I'll update more!

Everyday Grace

God gives grace like no other!

I most totally do not deserve the grades, but God has blessed and kept me by His grace--including all other aspects of my life for the past two months.

God has just showered me with His blessing with a job, supportive family and friends, and wisdom to name a few. This isn't a joke. I asked, and He gave. There was so much to learn and be grateful for. One thing that God continually reminds me to do, is to live out 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. It's by His grace that I will.

Let's get together for some stories. I'd love to share with you!

Hangin'

Remember my Surf City Half Marathon? The toes took a beating. Now my toenail is hangin' by a skin. Just thought you should know.

P.S. The other two are still too gruesome to look at, but I do it anyway. Scratch that. I don't look; I ogle over it. Haha! Ew.

Bu--ons

I-'s a -ery la-e Sa-urday nig--, and I would lo-e -o s-ar- on wri-ing papers for my final week of s--ool. Don'- ask -ow i- -appened, i- jus- did. W-a- s-all I do now? Borrow a -ompu-er? Buy a new one? Maybe i- would be more effe--ie if I did i- --e old-fas-ioned way--wri-ing by -and. I'm a bi- frus-ra-ed, bu- flabbergas-ed a- --e w-ole si-ua-ion. I'm reminded of a book I read long ago, Ella Minnow Pea. I- is a fi--ional s-ory abou- a -ommuniy and i-s leaders, w-o de-ided -o slowly remo-e le--ers from --e alp-abe- as --e s-ory progressed. How does i- rela-e -o my si-ua-ion? Well, I find i- ex-ep-ionally diffi-ul- in finding synonyms for words I would use o--erwise, -en-e --e -yp-ens. Ella Minnow Pea is an in-eres-ing read. I jus- mig-- read i- again. Hopefully, --is problem will go away if I res-ar- --e sys-em. Here's -o -ope.

O-, wai-! I found a solu-ion! T-ose missing le--ers appear only if I use --e s-if- key! Howe-er, my papers wouldn'- look as professional or impressi-e if I use --e following:
