Monday letteres.

Dear self,
I'm in no hurry, but really? I'm ready to see my future magically.

Dear jokes I tell,
I don't see how I'm the only one who laughs at you...no matter what people say, you're really funny.

Dear bright green apples,
I'm obsessed with you.

Dear school,
I can't even wait until you're over...forever...two more years, one more semester, and nine more days...but as of now I'm really just excited right now for the nine more days.

Dear belly button ring,
Thank you so much for healing already! It no longer feels like I have barbed wire shoved in my stomach when I do something so simple as just breathing. 

Dear skin,
I like that you're getting tan and it's not even July!

Dear sleep,
PLEASE come back?! Where in the world has this come from?

Dear Wednesday,
I'm glad you're my Fridays and I'm stoked for you! 

Mommas day.

Pretty much all I want in life is to be a mom exactly like my mom. Everyone says they have the best one, but sorry...mine wins. She's secretly an angel. 

Happy mothers day mom! I love you always. 

Summer is coming, Amen!

Happy weekend, xo.

the end. 

have a lovely weekend.

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].

Little monday letters.

Dear mountains covered by snow surrounding Salinas,
You are so beautiful right now!

Dear self,
I can't believe you only wore a sweater today...

Dear toes,
Thanks so much for not falling off my feet.

Dear phone charger,
You're broken and annoying.

Dear Yurtle,
Please STOP growing??

Dear hair,
Please grow FASTER!

Dear belly button ring,
I like you and will not regret it.

Dear Katrina,
I'm glad I see you everyday at school...I'd be really bored without you.

Dear really good hugs,
Keep em coming.

Dear future husband,
I hope you love coffee like I do.

xo.

Happy Birthday Mommy.

You don't look a day over 22.

I'm glad you are my mom. 

I wouldn't want anyone else...

Thank you for the face, the thick hair, and the skin that tans so easily...I'm still a little bitter about the bad eyesight. 

;) I love you. 

An update.

Okay so this month, and a little but of last month I've been terrible at keeping this little blog of mine running.

I am busy, and a little unplugged (which I'm actually thankful for). 

My life is not so exciting at the moment. 

I currently wake up between 5:30 and 6:00 every morning. I go to school. Some days I go to work. I get home. I run. I eat. I do homework. I go to bed. 

My life. It's thrilling.

I try to get a lot of reading in (um, hello Hunger Games!) 

I try to talk to Yurtle. I try to play my piano and guitar. I try to keep my eyes open and watch some TV with my family...but I can't. 

Sometimes, I fall asleep and don't run, don't eat, and don't do homework. I just go to bed.

But that's okay. I'm learning that I need to simplify my life.

Which is a good thing. I don't need TV, or my laptop. I don't need to read every day. I don't need to have a ton of free time...(just enough to keep my introverted part of myself sane.) 

I just need to do what is asked of me, and a little more. 

I might not be doing something super important with my life at the moment, but because I live for the Lord, it's my job to be the best student, sister, friend, daughter, and babysitter I can be. 

And that's all. 

And I'm working on it. 

xo.
