Total Berzerko Freak Out Mode

To begin, I am long overdue for a post, and for this I offer my sincerest apologies.

Second, gummie bears make a terrible breakfast regardless of the quantity consumed.

Third, I am going to write straight from the current thoughts in my head today, because that's what He has told me to do.

So, a running theme in my life is God's sovereignty.  He reminds me of it on a daily basis, sometimes more than once, because I am such a planner.  I like to be prepared, and have something of an outline of how things are going to go.  I will fly by the seat of my pants if need be, but that's not how I like to do everything.  I'm not much of one for surprises (PLEASE, no one ever throw me a surprise party), and I like to know where I'm going on trips so I can pack appropriately, etc.

Yeah, awesomely, that's not how God works.

He feels no need to check in with me whenever He decides to make a change or move in my life.  Sheesh! I'm so glad He doesn't.  My life would be dreadfully pointless and boring if I was in charge of everything that happens in it.  I would be in total berserko freak out mode all the time...

That's how I've felt a lot lately-easily overwhelmed trying to make decisions about what I really want to do, and when to get things done, and staying on time with everything, and spending time with Him, and loving others...

Psalm 22:5, Tori


...and is this really what I want to do with my time, and what if I pick the wrong thing, and I really should get that squared away, but I'm just not sure...

Proverbs 16:9


...this is SO stressful, and now I feel stupid for stressing too much, wait! was that supposed to be a sign?! did I miss it?  UGH! great. Now I'm all frustrated!

flip back a page, sweetheart, Proverbs 15:13


...oh good grief! I'm not cut out to do all this anyway, and maybe this wasn't the right idea in the first place...

Isaiah 40:29...it's there again in 2 Corinthians, babe, chapter 12 verse 9...My grace?


Is sufficient for me, and Your power is made perfect in my weakness.

Do you not know? Have you not heard? I am Yahweh, the everlasting God, the Creator of the whole earth. I never grow faint or weary; there is NO limit to My understanding.

I remember, Isaiah 40:28

Who am I, beloved?


Yahweh, the everlasting God :)

And who are you?


Nothing without You.

I've got you. Your favorite Psalm, 63, what does verse 8 say?

I follow close to You; Your right hand holds on to me.

Mhm. Forever. And there is nothing that can take you from Me.

In heavenly love abiding, No change my heart shall fear, And safe is such confiding, For nothing changes here. The storm may roar with out me, My heart may low be laid, But God is round about me, How can I be dismayed? Wherever He may guide me,  No fear shall turn me back, My shepherd is beside me, And nothing shall I lack. His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim; He knows the way He taketh, And I will walk with Him. Green pastures are before me, Which yet I have not seen; Bright skies will soon be o'er me, Where darkest clouds have been. My hope I cannot measure, My path to life is free; My savior is my treasure, And He will walk with me. -Anna L. Waring My mom showed me this while I was packing up for college, and it has remained true since the day I left.  It's one of those sweet reminders of God's sovereignty-which I frequently need.  It is so easy for me to over think things and get all flustered and frustrated with myself.  I ...

Moving to the North Pole. (And away from Mrs. Bennet!)

This is a post that I have continuously talked myself out of. Why? Because I don't like stepping on people's toes. (Is that grammatically correct?) However, there has been such an onslaught of this topic in my life recently that I feel like something must be said.  So if you are not in the mood for some slight 20 year old ranting, I suggest you come back for another post. (I am writing this as myself, obviously, but am also hoping to convey some thoughts from many other young women around me.)  **Disclaimer: I am not a grown up.  Nope.  I am not married, engaged, a mother, nor do I presently have a career.  So there are some adult perspectives and experiences that clearly I have not yet encountered. This is strictly from my still-a-kid perspective. As kids (teenagers in particular), I feel like it is easy to become embarrassed and frustrated with our parents.  I don't know, maybe you and your mom were bff's while you were in high school, if so, go...

Here goes nothing!

 So, I got the idea of starting a blog from my mom (who is a totally AMAZING woman of God), and after sleeping on it I decided it wasn't such a bad idea. I am simply going to share some of my life and things that I learn with the world.  Not that the whole world necessarily wants to know my daily thoughts, but anyone that does is welcome to whatever I share! Warning: I am a rabbit chaser, long winded, my grammar is also not that of a best-selling author, I misspell words, use dashes-commas-and ALL CAPS frequently and perhaps inappropriately, but that is okay. :) oh yeah-smileys too ;)  I do enjoy writing, and believe that God bestows gifts to us for us to use-so here goes nothing-hope you enjoy!   P.S.- I will not begin every entry with an awkward intro. That was just for today. :) Alright so I got laughed at by a REALLY cute guy today, and then God used it to teach me later (of course).  See, my roommate, Shelly, and I are walking back from the overflow...
