Simplicity Like A Child.
Conversation with G. about video games ::
G: “I’m not scared of those zombies that try to stab you in the back. You know why???”
Me: “Why?”
“……Cause I’m FIVE!!!!!”
Oh, if only all life’s problems were as easy to brush off as a back stabbing zombie.
Look What I Found!
Hey, hey! So, I just had to share this with you guys. I found an AWESOME new site called “The Dreaming Trees.” It’s basically a site that is dedicated to encourage and help inspire people to pursue their dreams. I have a lot of dreams. But to be honest, I don’t tell people a lot of them. There are some I even forget because I stop pursuing them. The Dreaming Trees team created a site that allows you to post your dream (anonymously or not) and be encouraged by others’ dreams as well. It’s just starting out, but I LOVE it already. Hence the reason I’m sharing it with you guys. Check it out here! I’m going to write up some of my dreams and submit it. You should too :) I’ll leave you their slogan: Grab a tree and dare to share your dream.
“We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” 2 Chronicles 20:12
I’m clinging to this verse today.
Hipsters.
This is hilarious. And so true. I love it. Be sure to read all the chapters…you will enjoy. I’m pretty sure I may meet 80% of those “bullet points.” Not sure if I should be proud or embarrassed….??? Oh well, check it and let me know what you think :)
Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
-Howard Thurman
“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” -Romans 8:38-39
Romans 8 is rocking my world. I’m clinging to pretty much every verse during this season in my life.
Cars and Simplicity.
Cars are great. Cars are lovely. Cars are expensive. In the past three months I’ve had four tires blow (including my spare) and now I’m in the shop waiting for my brake pads to get changed. Yeah, needless to say it’s been an expensive past few months. Oh well, that’s what I get for having a car.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my car. It’s served me well (and still serving), and I love the independence having a car gives. I don’t like the part where I have to fill up with gas, pay for insurance, or all of these other lovely road bumps.
Sometimes I wish I lived in a big city where I could take a bike to where I needed to go or a bus. In extreme situations, take a taxi. But I live in a small, rural town where it takes 20 minutes by car to get to work and Walmart. Hence the reason for a car.
Please don’t think I’m complaining…I’m just processing and thinking. I’m grateful for my car. I’m grateful I have money in the bank to pay for all the above mentioned. There’s just times I wish for a simpler life — one without all the “extras.” Am I alone in this?
“The longer you know someone - and the longer you allow someone to know you - the more the light and shadows inside each person become more vivid.” - Joy Williams of The Civil Wars
One day I’ll find someone to trust with my shadows.
