when a girl talks to her best friend

as i gmail chatted with abby the other day i was typing & i felt like sharing..

i have realized. that my music, my blogs and my journaling makes up who i am.
when i write...type..listen...it slowly forms who i am.
i get to show the definition of me.
the wonders of the happy things. i enjoy taking it all in and giving it out...
that the happiness and optimisticness that I am comes out when I let my lame ol try to be creative writing write.
it helps that i express it to my best friend.
the loving the simple things in life like sweet tea and sunflowers.
smiling at the words like hi and love
exhilarated by the adventures that occur and will slowly and rapidly venture out of life.
being like this helps me know who I am.

like nothing else.

Also I love Jesus with all my heart.

I know that I ramble & put words together, but why not?

May I Say...?

May I say I wish I could know and understand everything?
Why does it happen?
Why?
May I say that if I knew everything my life would be boring?
May I say that it is character building when I let myself trust in God instead of myself?
Life is no easy thing.
I have {recentlyish} come into situations that I never thought in a million years I would come upon.
Everything seems to undoubtedly crumble under my feet, whether its friendships or homework.
I dont know why, but I must retain the faith in my Jesus that He has His plans.
May I say that I must surrender to Him in ever way if I am going to live this life to the best of my ability...?

Romans 8:26-28 The Message
Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.

Clinging to every promise He has given us. Knowing that there is a reason for this season.
I didn't truly comprehend life being downright rough until this whole "shabang" started happening...
but with never completely experiencing that...in this way..I haven't had to have this insane amount of faith.
My God is faithful even when I am faithless.
So imagine if I'm faithful...He still remains faithful.
It might just be me, but having faith makes it better.

It relays peace within.

Jesus have Your way.

In Him,
