Things I Love.

Back when I posted on xanga a lot, I made lists of random things. I'm in the mood and so have decided to make a new one.

Things I Love.

~Soccer. I love playing soccer, I love watching other people play.

~Latino culture. I recently became friends with some Mexicans. I have had multiple opportunities to witness their family lives, and I love the sense of togetherness and unity there is among them, even extended family members. I want my family to be like that.

~The color green. I used to hate it, but now when I see green I see life. I love being alive, and everything that celebrates life. =)

~Being sore the day after a really good work-out at the gym. The pain tells me that through this I am growing stronger. It's a really neat picture to me as well of how pain in life can make us stronger if we press through and continue "working out."

~I still love smiley faces. And yes, I still want to get a smiley face tattoo on my hand. =)

~Learning new things. I delight in using the mind that God gave me to learn about his creation. I want to learn anything I can get my hands on.

~Spanish. I love the language. It's frustrating at times, but I can't wait for the day I am fluent!

~The beach. This summer I rediscovered why the beach is so amazing. =) I also love to swim!!

~A cool breeze on a cloudless night. Enough said. =)

~Being single. As Paul said, singleness is a gift, and I intend to enjoy every minute of it until such a time God leads me otherwise. And it would have to be God showing me.

~Volleyball. Especially outdoor volleyball in the sand. I love the rush you get after diving in the sand for the ball. =)

~Jesus. Wow. I could go on forever about how amazing He is and how continually humbled I am by His love and acceptance of me.

~Lavender lotion. It is sooo soothing! Basically I love anything lavender. =) Right now I'm in my room with a lavender candle and before I started this blog I put a bunch of lavender scented lotion on. =)


I could go on but I have school in the morning and I really need to get to bed. *sigh* Have a blessed day and I pray that you see the beauty in small and simple things. =)

Bucket List

I am currently sitting at Caribou Coffee trying to study for my final exams. There are two girls sitting beside me on skype with one of their friends. They are speaking Spanish to each other. Very fluent Spanish I might add. Both girls are obviously Caucasian in ethnicity. I know I'm supposed to be studying but it got me to thinking about my life and how much I want to learn Spanish. This got me thinking about things that I want to do in my lifetime. I so often think of things that I want to do with my life but then later I forget them, so that is why I have decided to write a bucket list of sorts. Not because I think I'm going to die soon or anything, but just because. We all die someday. The thing that really excites me about this is that I will most likely not even do half of the things I put on my list. As I grow and change my desires will change and maybe I'll add new things to the list and cross off old things that I don't want to do anymore. I know God will lead ...

Nothing worth doing is ever going to be easy. If you really want something you have to suck it up, put your nose to the grind, and just do it. Yeah, I know that was an overuse of cliches right there. :) This is something I am learning in more than one aspect of my life right now. I can't say it's the most fun lesson I have ever had to learn. :( In my relationship with the Lord, if I want further intimacy I have to push in deeper. Intimacy with the Lord doesn't just happen overnight. It's like in any relationship. Closeness takes time. The people you know the best are generally the ones you spend the most time with. It's the same with the Lord. I am also learning this with school. I really want to be a nurse. I knew going into it that nursing school was going to be difficult, but being told that doesn't exactly prepare you for when it happens. I have been sick the past few days and really not into the whole studying thing. It's hard to concentrate on so...

I did a photo shoot with my sister and one of her friends today. I don't claim to be a photographer by any means, but I wanted to practice so I can at least be decent. Here's a few of what I took. My sister is so photogenic so it made taking pictures of her much easier. =) Yay. =)
