Breakthrough.

So if I was rich, i'd be hiring The Rocket Summer to just mindmeld w/ me and then write the official soundtrack for my life! School is kray, work is kray, my tailbone is kray, my sleeping is kray, my computer is kray, LIFE is kray! But really, would I have it any other way? Picture Below = My schedule for next week... :P Daddy taught me how to fight
Working hard all his life
I started out as a teen
And I remember these things

Calloused hands Saturdays
You gotta fight to get your pay
And what I need I know
But I'm about to lose control

I need a break, but I'd rather have a breakthrough
I'm losing my sleep running after you
But still, I'd rather have a breakthrough
So I don't stop making moves
I need a break, but I'd rather have a breakthrough
I'm tripping on hurdles running after you
But I can see it right at my fingertips
Isn't it classic?

Mama said it's all right
If you cry if you lose a fight
Daddy said dry it up.
I'm proud of you not giving up.
I've been battling so many years,
and I've stood up to many fears.
So keep the faith, this I know,
but I'm about to lose control.


I don't know anymore.
What am I waiting for?
I know, I know I'm giving it all I have.
I want, I want to give up so bad.
How come I keep on running?
But I feel it coming,
I feel it coming on.

I need to catch a break.
Yeah, I hope I catch a break. So yeah, idk, this song is an ode to the weekends, especially Sundays, because that's the break I get to put everything into perspective. It's weird trying to live like one day at a time while tryin to keep the eternal perspective. But for real that's a line I can walk w/ some help and practice. God is great, life is good, and people are crazy! The Church is True! <3 188

What up Mudder??

Okay, So I got up at 5 this morning, b/c my computer is wack right now, and while I'm scanning some of my notes into PDFs for 2 of the tests I have this week, I've been doing a bit more research on the Tough Mudder Event that good 'ol Mary Math introduced me to yesterday! For real, this event is so stinking legit... and it supports the Wounded Warrior Project to help vets that have been wounded physically and mentally from war.

This is totally something I want to be a part of and, they ask the participants to raise money for the project. So other than the obvious upsides of having an excuse to roll around in mud with some friends and get through a kick-a obstacle course, I think that this is a great service opportunity to support as well.

So yeah, it'll be legit.

God is great, life is good, people are crazy.

The greatest thing I've ever learned...

So I just wanted to say Happy Valentine's Day!


I know that Valentine's day is pretty much just a commercialized holiday that plays on the emotions of the romantics in the world... but it is truly wonderful to have an excuse to celebrate love :D I wanted to share these 2 Japanese symbols about love:
Jizen --> Charity
Charity = the pure love of Christ; completely unconditional, and completely beautiful.


 
Amae --> Accepting Charity/Belonging-ness

Amae = Our ability to be able to accept and feel that love... for me personally it means to take it into my heart, believe it, and let it change me to be the best I can.

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and to be loved in return."

:)

God is great, life is good, people are crazy!
