Is this really on your wall, you ask? Yes, yes it is.
Ive decided that this is how I live my life. Now, it can be a great thing and a bad thing. This reminds me to continuously love on those people around me so that they can be loved and FEEL happiness. BUT if I rely on this to make myself happy... not only am I selfish but I'm screwed. I was having a normal day, no glorious sky pics or life changing events.. I was frustrated after class because it was so long, and it was too dang hot to have to walk.. It was a whiney day. I then had a hott date with Grace Guthrie. Y'all... she's amazing. I have poured my heart out to this girl twice now with no push from her. She has been through tons and has a GORGEOUS smile on her face and a heart for the Lord like I've never seen. My 'okay' day was immediately a great day after I shared my heart with her and heard hers.. and a freakin' awesome soft taco. Seriously, Fuego is awesome.
It's amazing how a simple smile from a friend or lunch with another can change your whole day. That just goes to show how easy it is to have a positive outlook and how often we gripe about days that don't have to be bad. No one will admit it, but it's true.
I had a great chat with Allison Schwarzbach on the bus as well. I never get to see this awesome girl and the two minutes I got with her left me with a smile on my face. Positivity is soemthing she's super good at, and that was another boost from the Lord to say that the info above that was on my mind is totally true!! I'm amazed at how consistent He is with reminding me that I've made the right choice. I think God knows me pretty well.. I need consistency, and boy has He given it!
My day after that kinda went slowly. I went to the rec and got on a machine, decided I was tired and went home. Had dinner at the house, got ready for meeting, decided my dress was too short after many people commented (THANK YOU!! truly I needed to know) so while I threw on the only other dress i had which was wrinkled, I burned my leg steaming it while I HAD IT ON.. yes I'm dumb.. I then went to evans library to study, went to the scc, went to the theta house, went BACK to the scc, went BACK to evans, and went BACK to the house. I was extremely bored and couldn't focus.
Speaking of moving around.. I must share this. The other day I was walking into class (actually the wrong room by accident) and this slightly chubby short guy in front of me was struttin his stuff to his ipod. I mean STRUTTIN'. He saw me behind him... I need you to picture this.. He flung open the door, spun in a complete 360 degree circle, caught the door with his hand and leaned against it and said 'Here ya go'. This is where the audience in my life's sitcom claps... it was hilarious. I smiled and tried not to laugh.. and not only did I giggle outloud after failed attempts not to, I had to turn around and leave when I realized I was in the wrong room.. woops!
THEN, after that class, I was walking in front of the chem bldg and a guy was giving out flyers to help flood victims. As he did this, he said 'help stop the flood!' and I said thanks. The girls behind me were chatting it up and one said, "wait... how are we supposed to help stop a flood? Do you think we supply towels and stuff?"
oh yes, she did. Then the other said, "I don't know if that would help... maybe it's to help the people that get flooded"
oh yes, she said 'get flooded'
I was so tired at this point that I literally laughed out loud, in their direction, and walked away. woops again..
Now all of that is hilarious, I'm proud to be an aggie still despite it, but MAN did I need those laughs at that moment. God definitely knows me and my humor pretty well, after all, my life IS a sitcom!!
I recently went to spoons with my fiance Mitchell Pate. He's precious yall, get to know him if you get a chance. We discussed a very important topic... the word 'boat'. Say it and think about how weird it is.. it is, right? But on a more serious note we did have a good talk about idols and what it meant when Ben Stuart was talking about it at Breakway. What a slap in the face!! I idolize so much and I didn't even realize it. This week has been great for not only realizing what I idolize, but learning what to do with this realization. NOTHING is more important than God. NOTHING really matters but God. NOTHING lasts through eternity. I can be apathetic about life after realizing this, or I can take it full on, do this Jesus thing and worship like I never have before!!
Thanks, anyone?
Thank you God for Grace Guthrie. Thank you for her joy and strength and complete love for everyone around her. Thank you for allowing Yourself to speak through her an show Yourself through her. You made a beautiful woman of God and I thank you so much for putting her in my life.
Thank you God for humor. You know how sarcastic I am and I just love that You are too. Thank you for putting people in this world to brighten others days without even meaning to!
Thank you for Mitchell! He's such a light from You Lord and he sure puts a smile on anyone's face. Thank You for providing people like him to show Your unconditional love.
To all of you, vaya con dios.
