Just A Random Thought Blog

I'm bad at posting blogs.
I am.
I feel like if I don't have anything of any importance to say, I might as well not blog.
But that's boring.
So I'm changing that.

I have a week left of school until SUMMMMMMMEEEERRRRR!!!! My absolute favorite time of year :) I can't wait for the beach and bonfires and BBQ's and Disneyland and swimming and laying out and being tan and shopping and eating at Ruby's on the pier and driving around late at night and In-N-Out ahhhh I could literally go on forever.

Wow. Just got very excited :)
It will be weird leaving Washington for a couple months though. I'm finally getting used to it here and the weather is getting very nice. I'm sure it's going to be beautiful up here in the summer with the lake and all. But I'm going to the beach, so it makes up for it :) haha

Wonderful.
Can't wait.
Praise God!!

It Ain't Easy

It Ain't Easy
I am learning to be a father but I really don’t know how
To be willing to care for others more than I love myself

It ain’t easy learning to love like you

I am learning to love my neighbor and to live by the golden rule
But it’s so hard when I’ve been lied to
I feel like a fool forgiving a fool

It ain’t easy learning to love like you

I am learning to be faithful with the little that I have
To do like Jesus and turn the tables
To give it all to get nothing back

It ain’t easy learning to love like you

Can't Go Back Now

Yesterday when you were young
Everything you needed done was done for you
Now you do it on your own
But you find you're all alone, what can you do?

You and me walk on, walk on, walk on
'Cause you can't go back now

You know there will be days
When you're so tired
That you can't take another step
The night will have no stars
And you'll think you've gone as far
As you will ever get

You and me walk on, walk on, walk on
'Cause you can't go back now

And yeah, yeah, you go where you want to go
Yeah, yeah, be what you want to be
If you ever turn around, you'll see me

I can't really say
Why everybody wishes they were somewhere else
But in the end, the only steps that matter
Are the ones you take all by yourself

You and me walk on, walk on, walk on
Yeah, you and me walk on, walk on, walk on
'Cause you can't go back now
Walk on, walk on, walk on
You can't go back now

- This song brings me to tears! I have had an amazing childhood/high school days. Seriously, I am blessed at home with friends I have grown up with. We have gone through it all together. My friends from high school, Corisa, Justine, Courtney, Carrissa and Bree, my best friend Elyssa who I have been friends with since 2nd grade, and my friends from after graduation, Emma, Jane, Arielle and Rachel. All these girls have a huge part of my heart. This song wraps up what I want to say to all of them. It reminds me of all our talks of what the future holds and what we think God wants us to do and how we just wish life could be the way it was a few years ago.

I believe in every single one of those girls and love watching them all grow and experience new things. I can't wait to see where we all end up :)

All That I can Say Right Now

I love God

So much.

What my life would be without knowing God?... I can't even picture it.
There is so much beauty in living life with Him.

...I am just so joyful right now :)

I Haven't Posted In Forever

4 weeks and counting until I'm home for the summer.
I'm trying to figure out what these last few months in Washington were...I'm still trying to figure it out haha

It's been quite the adventure.
I finally know what it means to surrender to God.
There is nothing scarier or more rewarding.

It's Easter weekend.
Tomorrow is Good Friday.
This song helps me remember.

I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness, watch and pray
Find in Me thine all in all”
*
Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
*
Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone
*
And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete
Jesus died my soul to save
My lips shall still repeat
*
Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
*
Oh praise the One
Who paid my debt
And raised this life
Up from the dead

OH PRAISE THE ONE, WHO PAID MY DEBT
AND RAISED THIS LIFE UP FROM THE DEAD!
*
Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow



Praise the One who paid my debt
