10 things I hate about you

1. I think I'm allergic to being home. I'm always sick these days.
2. I have a special ring tone for my favorite non-family/boyfriend people. Hearing it is unfortunately surprising. And exciting.
3. Tuesdays and Sundays are my favorite days of the week.
4. I have a curious rash in the grooves between my pointer/middle and middle/ring fingers.
5. Future roomie and I decided on an apartment today.
6. Our oven is still broken. I really miss baking.
7. Life since college has been the most difficult stage of my life so far.
8. I still drag my rory blanket everywhere. Consequentially, it's 10x less soft than Paul's. Sadface.
9. I have the rest of my life planned out. Yup.
10. I'm going to blame lack of blogging and photographing/editing on lack of laptopping.

For love is from God

⁷Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. ⁸The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. ⁹By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. ¹⁰In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. ¹¹Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
--1 John 4:7-11 (NASB)

sanctuary

I've always wanted a canopy over my bed.




I'm embarrassed to admit how surprisingly calming this sheer piece of fabric is over me. It's the one place in my bustling house where I can (almost) block everyone out. Yeah... I'm easily satisfied. I love my bed.

Jamieboy, R.N.

My big brother James means the world to me. He's helped me get through so many hard times, so seeing him go through a hard time this past week was so, so painful for me. I sat in bed with him for an hour and he didn't say a single thing to me, no matter how much I tried getting him to talk. His girlfriend called me crying, worried and so lost at what to do. I really don't want to put all his business out in public, but there has just been a lot going on. I don't think my family has prayed so much or been so worried about anything. This morning I was woken up by phones ringing and my brother announcing he passed his NCLEX exam for nursing, so now all is perfectly well. Praise the Lord PRAISE THE LORD. He knows there's no way he could have done it without God's help and I'm certain God wanted him to know that. I guess we can all use a little humbling sometimes, hehe. Tears of joy this time. =)
