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.

New Shorts

So, if you are familiar with my life at all, you know that I have experienced some changes over the last year.  For example, I've had to buy some new pants. Actually, new shorts if you want to be specific.  It's because my favorite grey shorts (also known as the greytest shorts of all time) ripped.  In a big way.  Like, an into-the-trash-goodbye-forever kind of way.   Not even going to lie, I cried about it.  I bought those shorts the summer before freshman year at AU, and wore them probably three times a week any time it was warm enough outside. They fit PERFECTLY through semesters and summers, mission trips and vacations, bike rides and hikes. Seriously, the best shorts ever.  If I could have incorporated them into a quilt or something I so would've.  I share many many memories with those shorts!  We were friends. (Just kidding! ...sort of.)  I was in denial when they started to wear out a little, until it happened.  I...

Slicing tomatoes, sharing Jesus, and other Iceland stuff

So when I pulled up blogger to type this, everything except what I am typing is in Icelandic...  And I'm in Reykjavik, Iceland by the way, in case you were unaware. ...Also, I don't really want to come home...all that awful heat and humidity...blegh. *Pronunciation Guide: Reykjavik = Rehk-yah-vick Anywho, normally I wouldn't exactly list evangelism at the top of my skills list...in fact, it makes me feel super nervous and awkward. (Which I've decided is actually pretty stupid when you consider the totally sovereign God in charge of the whole universe and everything in it.)  So not to be debby-downer, but I wasn't particularly looking forward to today's task. The good news is that I was not in control of the entire day's goings on, and it turned out to be really awesome. After prayer walking this morning and a nutritious lunch of PB&Js, we split into groups, and divided up to conquer some coffee houses in downtown Reykjavik. The first...

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...
