a wonderful week

i may have just managed to have the most wonderful week i've had in quite a while. i feel as though i have been caught in between a time warp almost. for the past week it has felt like time has stood still upon several occasions. i don't know...it's like i have managed to find the time to sit down & simply breath.



at the same time i feel as though i am caught in between two things. both seem right. both fit, yet how am i to know which to choose? or if to choose at all?

is waiting always what's right or is plunging in headfirst sometimes absolutely necessary?

both of these which i have become accustomed to, but in this case...i am unsure i can tell as to which road to take.




on another note, i am so unbelieveably happy for my friends. for those that i love.
they mean more to me than you could ever imagine.
it's the little things that have made all of the difference.



as another transition:


you have my heart all tangled up in knots. here i go again:

hope

Here’s to the people that you meet that give you sheer hope.

An utter sense of confidence that you’re life will not go

Unnoticed. I met one of these people recently. One with a

Passion running deep. A life that bleeds Jesus. And breath

Like that of a patient running stream. I have found myself

To still be captivated at the very thought. I can’t seem to

Stop thinking about it. Hanging on every word. Wishing

That I could relive the moment over.

It has been these people that I meet upon occasion that have

Changed me the most. The ones who unknowingly cause me

To believe that I am not alone in this. The ones who tug on my

Heart to pursue my dreams. To live my life in utter abandonment.

Afterall, my life is not my own. I have learned to give selflessly.

With no expectation of return. Just the satisfaction of knowing that

I have been a mere catalyst in pursuit of eternity.





on another note...

thusfar, my week has been wonderful.

Jesus has giving me an overwhelming joy that is indescribable.

inspiration

i need some. a little inspiration & a little motivation.
i have been sick for an entire week. not fun. the weight of
the world weighs on me. i would like to be in new york city.
in the spring time. just to catch a glimpse of things from
another perspective. it has been so cold here in florida for
the past week or so. not fond of it. i need to feel the warm
sunshine on my face & breathe the warm air in my lungs. i love
it. i have had the heater blasting as if i were an eskimo living
in an igloo.

i want to become more picture friendly on this dear blog. a little
more personal perhaps. therefore, if i throw in random pictures of
yours truly...my life, my friends...enjoy.

i feel i have one coming on now:

1.15.08

The last semester has officially begun. With one word simply resounding in my head. Graduation. If I am not mistaken, there are 106 sunsets until that glorious day. Yes. I have counted upon multiple occasions. Not that I am entirely done, but merely one page of my life has been written….and now on to the next. Whatever that may be. I many times wish that I had even the slightest clue.

Not to mention I am coming around on my 22nd year of life soon. Very soon. Hard to believe. 22. I remember as a little child, my favorite number has always been 2. since then I have unconsciously decided that when I turned 22 it would be the best year of my life. well, I guess we’ll see.

Life. all I know is that it’s precious. I know that some of it is spent in grave company. And some in complete lonliness. Some in silence & some in sheer noise. Other in discomfort & some in comfort.

The discomfort that I have felt over the past few years has shaped who I am to the very core. Discomfort generally gives off a negative connotation, but yet, many times its repercussions are to be praised. My mind has been opened to the possibilities & opportunities around me. often times I wish that I was a little child again. that the simplest moments in life brought me joy like they used to. I am in pursuit of this thing that we like to call happiness. I am convinced that we are in fact in charge of our own happiness & that life is what we choose to make it. That through the struggles & the pain, there is a level of accomplishment that could be attained no other way.

Life. is beautiful.
