Mars, Jesus, and The Human Body. =)


“Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.”

Food for thought. I need to get better at trying things that I'm not sure if I can master. In that way, I allow God to get the glory for my triumph, and I learn to trust him more. =) Then, of course, I will grow. 

Growth is such a beautiful thing, yes? Nothing around us stays the same. Everything is always growing.. changing. I love it. I love the beauty of creation and how it reflects the creativity of our Creator God. =) He amazes me every day. 

A few days ago I came home from work late. I live in the country, and as I got out of my car I looked up. The sky was FULL of stars. There is something so majestic about stars. I took an Astronomy class a year or so ago, so I know a little more detail about stars than some might. The more I learn, the more I marvel at God's craftsmanship. 

In class right now, we are learning about oxygenation and perfusion. Basically that's how our bodies get oxygen to each part of the body and how blood flow works. There's much more to it than that, but here's my point: when I look at the finest details of how our bodies work to get oxygen all the way to every corner of our brain and down to our big toe, I am speechless at the detail and perfection. God orchestrated every detail of our body so perfectly. Then I contrast that with the vastness of the stars and planets (did you know Mars is visible late at night right now?), and I get excited about how big my God is, while at the same time being so intimately involved with the details of humans. So cool!!!

=) This is the kind of stuff that makes me excited. Excited about life, about following Jesus, and about everything I get to experience while chasing after him. It makes me excited about eternity. Just to think that I get to spend eternity in the physical presence of God! That gives me shivers just to think about. I could go off on a whole other tangent about eternity but I won't right now. That would take too long. haha. Suffice to say I AM EXCITED!!!! =) I hope you are too, because it's going to be an eternal party you don't want to miss! =) Jesus, please come back soon!!

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. =)
