just sometimes.

Sometimes being left handed bothers me because I take notes in pen and smudge them right away.

Sometimes when I clean my car’s windshield I pretend it’s raining.

Sometimes I’m afraid to get old.

Sometimes I’m lonely.

Sometimes there are no coffee filters and I drink tea instead.

Sometimes I can be really forgetful and clumsy and lame.

Sometimes I procrastinate, an insane amount…like with this essay I should be writing.

Sometimes I really suck at keeping up with this little blog.

Sometimes I need a nap not even an hour after I’ve been out of bed.

Sometimes I’m intensely impatient for summer…

Spring break.

Dear body,
It's really neat that you waited to get sick until spring break came...real cute.

Dear bed,
I'm glad I can spend...the entire...day with you. 

Dear rain,
I'm glad you're here today. I like smelling you and hearing you outside my window. It's probably the most comforting thing in the entire world to me.

Dear English,
You're killing me. You're really killing me.

Dear tissues, tea, water, chocolate milk, and toast,
Thanks.

Dear Adele,
Want to trade vocal chords?

Dear Yurtle,
Please please stop growing so big?

Dear yellow,
I know you're just a color...but I really like you.

Dear glasses,
I like wearing you way more than contacts...just not the names I get called when I do!

Dear belly button ring,
I'm glad you're healing! I like you...keep it up buddy.

Headlights and Taillights.

I have never really enjoyed driving, but dislike it even more when it's to be done at night time.

Last night I was driving in the rain, down the 101, from Gilroy to home. The radio was static and I have currently exhausted all my CD's. In fact, I doubt they'll even play for me anymore. 

I normally don't ride without the radio on, but I decided to turn it off and maybe let Jesus speak to me if He wanted. For a while there was nothing. Just me and the road. Then I got to thinking about how pretty the headlights and taillights looked on the wet freeway. Both of their reflections were bright and colorful. Headlights, bright white. Taillights, bright red. Two significant colors to a Christian. Isaiah 1:18 says "Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool." Our sins are scarlet. They are bright red. Noticeable. They are the color of taillights, but because of Christs forgiveness and death for us, we are no longer forgotten in the back. We are bright white, shining along Christ, and leading the those who are still in the taillight position. I think I'd like to be a headlight for Jesus. 

 

1 John 1:7

But if we [really] are living and walking in the Light, as He [Himself] is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations].
