things i've learned in the past week.

--it's okay to be a freakin' wreck, as long as you're strong sometimes too. [i swear, i can be strong. i used to be a little too tough for my own good. but my goodness, this week is not demonstrating the tough girl in me.]
--when in doubt, get on your knees & pray. & not just say some half-meaningless words & hop in bed, but pray your heart out & wait for those answers. because even though they haven't come yet, they will. they have to. right? patience...
--sometimes you have to make yourself a priority. sometimes you have to choose things that will make you happy in the long run. some people will say you're "all about yourself" or self-centered or selfish. & you just have to know your own heart, & follow it, regardless.
--no one really wants the truth. they want you to pucker up & kiss ace. & sometimes, it's easiest to do just that.
--the church is true. the people are human. there can be a definite distinction between the two, sometimes...
--running can cure every heart ache that dr. pepper can't.
--never, ever take this many credits. you will want to shoot yourself.
--my underwear cover more than at least 59.3% of the girls on campus' shorts do. supa' classy.
--your faith will be tried. no one gets an easy path with only simple choices and decisions to make. no one gets all happy, feel good moments. there's going to be rough patches & moments you question everything you stand on. but that doesn't make it an ounce less true. it just forces your faith to swell.
--in the end, it all comes down to just you & Him. but it's okay to let other people help you on this journey.
--it's okay to be alone and not be miserable. it's okay to watch people leave, and not feel much of anything. it's okay to not be angry or sad or anything. & don't you dare force feelings that don't exist.


it's bedtime.
