mile high club

i wish that phrase didnt mean what it does bc i think its such a cool phrase. think about all the clubs that can be started at 32,000 feet up. anyway… (back in the art room)(s/o to art mama)

32,000 feet up. i feel inspiration in the depths of mind. i just watched ‘the giver’ on this fancy tv up here in first class (perks of a pilots daughter) i remember reading ‘the giver’ in 8th grade, i def liked it but i didnt appreciate it at the time but i’m realizing now lois lowry is super underrated. (note to self:read more of lois lowry) i’m currently watching a sunset unfold in front of me in the sky. how crazy would it be to not experience all of these simple pleasures that God has given to us? love. music. joy. tears. sadness. laughter. beauty. diversity. culture. loss. things that captivate specific people. adventure! its a beautiful life we live. a life where we get to experience all of the goods and bads. we get to learn!! we get to live a life specifically planned for us, a life God was so excited to show us. a life where i can watch a sunset from 32,000 feet up in the air and marvel at the earth below me & think about all the people living their lives below me, unaware i am wondering about how their day was, their troubles, and their simple pleasures and praying that they have joy.

a life where i feel embarrassed that i had to watch a movie to truly appreciate everything my God has given me on this day.

-(guess who)(yep u guessed it) 8!! (9 seems to be MIA)

senior skip day

rumors started stirring at the beginning of the week that friday would be our first senior skip day. it spread like wildfire. nearly all of our senior class skipped school today, leaving hundreds of parking spots open (ur welcome underclassmen) and just as many teachers speechless. we all went up to one of our dear friends rented lake house and had an absolute blast. we choreographed dances, pegged grapes at each other, burned the bottoms of our feet and every other possible fun thing you can think of (g rated). the best part? noticing that i have the best group of friends in the entire world. not only that but also the realization that practically our entire senior class are all friends. no cliques. no drama. we’re just a bunch of teens loving each other. how great is that.

Jesus came so that we may have life to the full. my life is so full, i live with the joy of knowing and loving Jesus and the joy of living a life full of love and happiness and communion.

class of 2k15 forever, amirite.

Being called

There have been a few times in my life when my ability to listen has coincided with gods plan for me. I’m referring to the feeling of being called. It’s a gut wrenching feeling of absolute clarity. My heart tends to beat at an utterly disturbing pace and I’m overwhelmed with the undeniable knowledge of what is right and what is wrong. I’ve never had god speak to me more clearly than in these moments when he decides to use me for his purpose. It’s hard. But also my divine privilege. House church tonight reminded me of that. I don’t want to deny my god or my faith with any part of my being so I’m going to walk his way.
