genuine worship.

okay, so i keep saying that i'm not back, but yet i keep posting. so i guess i'm back. but i hope to have an important summer-ish post soon. 

anyway, i had to post this picture. it's pretty much my favorite thing right now.

also, this quote from jim elliot:

"wherever you are, be all there."

a small life update.

no, i'm still not officially back. but i thought i'd share my social problems homework assignment with you all as a sort of "life" update. i'll be back soon! :)


        Over the summer, I became an unfortunately huge fan of Justin Bieber. But when I returned to Truman this year, I quickly found out that my roommates were extremely against listening to Justin Bieber and his music was not acceptable to listen to in our room. I therefore hid my obsession for this 17-year-old Canadian's music. But last night I was getting into the shower, and I usually always listen to Justin Bieber in the shower, so I decided to confront my two roommates. I bursted out of the bathroom and told them that I had an announcement to make. I told them that I had "Bieber fever" and I didn't care that they didn't support me and that I would be listening to Justin Bieber's music in the shower that night. My information was unfortunately not taken well. Jessi groaned and said, "This is the worst!," a favorite phrase of hers, and although Shelby and I usually make fun of her when she says it, Shelby's response was, "I'm not even going to disagree with you about that one."

But, I did it anyway, without my roommates approval...I listened to Justin Bieber in the shower for the whole room to hear. My decision made me feel bold and brave. I felt free now that my obsession was out in the open.

When I came back from my shower, my feelings of bravery and freedom quickly diminished. Jessi had headphones in, refusing to even listen to Justin Bieber; and although Shelby didn't have headphones in, she was on the opposite side of the room attempting to not pay attention to me while reading her book.

My roommates may never watch Justin Bieber's movie "Never Say Never" with me. They may very well never let me listen to Justin Bieber in the shower again. But the confession is finally out....I am a true "Belieber."

nothing but smiles.

so, i'm not actually officially back yet. BUT, i saw this tonight and couldn't help but pass it along!

love you all :)

sooo, about not posting in two months....

as much as i wish i could say that blogging is one of my top priorities, it is not. blogging for me is something i do in my free time when i feel the Lord has put something on my heart to share or i need a way to express myself. but this summer has left practically no free time for me to be on my laptop, much less blogging. but don't worry! i leave for school in about two and a half weeks (which i'm getting SO excited about!), and i'm planning on resuming blogging then.

sorry to all who have stopped by lately to see what's new....because it's been nothing.

and to all of those who have given up on me and stopped looking at all, come back soon please!

move in day is august twenty-third, so expect something hopefully fabulous shortly after that!

LOVE YOU ALL! :)
