heaven & co

I seriously feel like the biggest weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Because of it, I was bitter all weekend long. Usually, weekends don't last long for me, but this past one was extra long. I hated that I felt that way. My heart was real anxious - and bad anxious, too. It was misplaced and no where near peace. You know how I was talking about trust in my last post? Well, it's so easy to say that you trust God, right? But then, the harder part comes and that's the actual trusting.

In my case, trusting through the wait. I wasn't able to contact the school this weekend about my situation, so I had to wait until Monday ... but I didn't want to. I don't have the time to wait --- but sometimes, God just wants us to wait. Just wait. And even though we feel like we can handle things on our own sometimes, we can't. God says to wait because His plans are greater and He has good in store. And lo' and behold, He surely did! Good news on my end, fo'sure. I'm really really excited about the Fall, you guys. 

I love nights where I'm able to stay up for as long as I want! (Meaning I don't have to work the next day..) It's an incredibly unhealthy habit, but I love knowing that I can stay up as long as I need (or want) ... just because. ;) With that being said, I'm excited to finally write on this thing again. I don't think I have much to say 'cause I never do but I have been doing stuff, so I guess that could be, I don't know, maybe exciting.



I caught up with some of my friends today and it was awesome! I love catching up and just talking over food. Good stuff and it's even better when you can just talk as if you've never stopped talking, you know? The food was so nice. The Korean ladies treated us so well and they gave us an egg soup "on the house!" So lovely! I wanted to be able to reply in Korean so badly because I watch Korean dramas (hahaha), but unfortunately, I couldn't. I still loved it though! Sure felt like I was in a drama .... ;)

I bought some leopard shoes. YUP. If you take a look into my closet, the majority of my clothes are either white or black. Maybe there's a pink shirt and a blue one as well. Maybe I don't have any clothes at all! .... kidding. Point is, I've always felt so plain Jane and maybe that's good, but I figured a bit of print couldn't be all that bad. I've had my eyes on those babies.

And I've started making friendship bracelets. Maybe and hopefully I'll have more people to give them to .... because I've already forced my family to wear 'em. :) So I guess their wrists are covered. I think it's a nice little hobby on the side. Plus, they're easy to make and embroidery floss is so affordable. Let me know if you want one!

My lunch today. Thanks Pang! I doubted that tuna sandwich. It totally caught me off guard. Either it was real good or I was real hungry. There's just something about brown paper bags that I love. Maybe because it's kraft paper? I just love it.

And that was today in a nutshell! Thanks for reading!

P.S. My current favorite song is "Crash My Party" by Luke Bryan. He's so dang cute. I haven't said that about anyone in a long time. haha ...

And a station on my Pandora that I've really enjoyed listening to is "Vertical Church Band." Love the music!

I don't think I was always this way ... or maybe I was. I've become the biggest planner I know. I can't help but plan my own future and although that may be considered "safe," it can also be very dangerous. I just need to plan. I've been learning a lot lately about plans though. It could very well be my "theme." - might as well be! ;) But the Lord's plans stand firm forever; His intentions can never be shaken. - Psalm 33:11

It's so funny because these past couple of weeks, that seems to be all that I've been teaching my kids in Sunday school. When Joseph was sold by his brothers, I'm sure he thought differently of his future, but God planned for Him to become a leader and that one day, his brothers would bow down to him. When Abraham was told to go, he left his comfort zone. God's plans were different for both Abraham and Sarah.

Learning to trust in God's plans. Even while I'm saying "Okay, I trust in Your plans..." I show distrust by planning my own plans. So many plans in one sentence. It's become quite overwhelming and when you're down to nothing, what do you do? What can you do? Trust, right? Why only do it when you haven nothing left? Why not do it when God has called us to trust in Him from the very beginning?


Is anything too hard for the Lord? (Gen. 18:14)

I really need to get myself together and handle this college business. Why is it like .... the worst process ever? The papers are never ending! And I'm short probably .... 100,00! jk. But seriously, this stuff is no joke. I almost don't even wanna go to college. Oh, if I had the option ....

- I worked from 1-9pm on Saturday at the register and I got super exhausted half-way through. I think it was because I was tired of having to interact with people - not that I didn't want to but because it was exhausting. I must be extra introverted. I feel like I'm using that word too much. Seriously though. I need me some alone time, some solitude time.

- I bought embroidery floss and I'm gonna stay up to make my own friendship bracelets tonight since no one cares enough to make me one. haha! I'm kidding. I am making them though. I'm excited, too!

- I haven't painted my nails in a long time and as much as I want to, I think I'm too lazy. Maybe tomorrow.

- I watched the most adorable baby today at church! Guess what his name is? Noah. And I've decided that I will maybe name my future kid Noah. So cute!

Well, that's it!
