j u n e ^ MONTH OF OPPORTUNITY || goals, highlights + rambles about enjoying life

^messy hair- literally don't care^

this month was literally the best month evah..
I mean yes. we all have our sad moments but it seems like all the amazing things that have/are happening blur them out a little.
There has been so many amazing opportunities to help people and be a light. So many amazing encounters and things that are happening. Life is just rolling on and good things are around the corner.
Make yourself comfortable cause I'll probably ramble....


soooo many of the craziest things have happened, some bad and some wonderful. I have learned that I don't have to post everything and try to make sense out of things. I don't have to post every couple days to keep people happy. I don't have to worry about not checking the internet at all for 8 days because of life.
now this my friends-this little thing called life is a wonderful thing to live. Because sometimes this whole different online world is a lot to take. replies and comments and emails and alll this stuff that I used to be worrying about, worrying that I would be a bad blogger if I wasn't always caught up with everything. I've learned that its okay to go without posting for over a week and to enjoy life. I've been going through a little dry spot in my relationship with the Lord. I haven't felt like reading my Bible and I'm not praying like I should. I'm always on the look out for opportunities to show His love, but hen it comes to full heatedly seeking Him I've been failing.  It was wonderful to have so much time to talk with Mom about this going back and forth to NE. She told me how God actually uses those dry times as lessons, but Satan says that I am just not good enough to live the 'Christian' life. In Iowa we walked around Hamburg with my Aunt and had a God-centered conversation. I don't know why, but something about that evening motivated me to search the Word deeper and make an effort. I started studying prayer, because prayer is our lifeline to our life-giving God.
I got a new journal and changed my room around so that I like to study in there. I've become more organized about things I need to do in following months. I really feel like this month was a smallmilestone to the goal that we have all set. To grow closer to Jesus-to be organized-to get more sleep-to drink more water- etc.


whoa. Now I read this {book} that i just wrote and can't believe it actually sounds like what it is. like what I feel.
ok. onto funny stuffs xxx
