My mom is so cute.
I love that she always does something practical with the feeding dishes of our old or dead pets.
Second, I think she is really cute when she thinks she is shocking me by talking about sex.
Third, I love when she describes my wedding invitations or save the dates as having "She Said Yes!" written across them.
So stinkin cute. Someone give this woman a vegetable garden.

Granduer
You are such a romantic.
You are writing a story that no one can read and not want to keep reading...over and over...over and over...over and over again.
In covenant.

And we went back to knowing nothing as we did before...
So I have a blog..interesting. I really hope that I use this more than I used livejournal in high school. Oh fads..I think this means I have officially sold out.
Anyways yesterday was my 21st birthday. There is a lot for me to say about the happenings of yesterday but when I think back on what I can remember the bottom line theme that blasts through my being is that everything good comes from the Lord.
The other day I found an old journal of mine that I had in high school. I found and entry that read. "Dear Lord,
Please Father let me be married and settled down by the time I am 22 or 23. I know they say your timing is perfect but I feel like I know this is what you have for me. If I meet the person I am supposed to be with by the time I am 21 I will know you are good....just kidding."
My first reaction was hahahahahahahaahahah. My second reaction was one of almost panic. No no this panic was not caused by fear of loneliness or dying alone, instead this panic was caused by the realization that I have no idea what is ahead in my life. Sure it seems like Ill graduate but this might be the only constant I can see in my future. I don't neccesarily believe we can ever really know what is in our future but I know that if we have a chance we humans will do everything we can to make our plans work. Well world this might the first time I am planless! ME planless. Really? Yes.
Despite all of my ambitions, passions and hopes all I see in my future is an open heart and life.
I don't know if I am the 21 year old woman I dreamed of being when I younger or that I have done the things that I said I was going to do at this stage in my life. All I know is that I have Peace! All I know is that I have love! All I know is that I want to live a life that resembles the abudant life that Christ came to bring to us!
I have always been one who is attached to a day planner or a calendar. But when I stop and think about it everything in my life that allows me to experience joy to the fullest has come to me without any effort or knowledge of my own. The blessings in my life are not merely merits but they are some kind of holy perfection that have landed in my life with such precise detailed love I cannot even imagine or comprehend the giver of these gifts. There still may be so many things I might not know yet about life or the Lord but I know: all good things come from the Lord.
Try swallowing this advice from one control freak human being to another:
I know nothing and I am okay with that.
2 Things I know about the Lord:
1. All Good Things Come From Him
2. He loves Irony.
