Haircut + Lazy Sunday morning

On Wednesday I was getting very sick of my annoying, uneven, and split-ended hair. I went and got a haircut...here's the result!

She cut off more than I actually wanted her to...but that's ok. I think it turned out just fine!

Last night was the last ralia game of session 2. We won 5 to 2! (my birthday :)) It was an exciting game!! A crazy thing that happened...In the second half I was defending this girl...and we both went full speed at each other and my surgery knee clanged very very hard against my right knee...i fell on the ground and i started to cry because I was so scared that I had torn my acl again. After some ice and cooling down I tried to extend and pull my leg through...full motion...i can feel something in the back of my leg, though, that I think I just pulled. Thank the Good Lord I am ok! I was so so so scared...oh my goodness.
I slept in this morning because of the late game...and not getting into bed until 1:26 last night. I slept until my alarm at 9:45...felt so nice. :)

Eating my protein-rich greek yogo w//granola, drinking coffee, and eating a banana. So delicious, and so healthy. Listening to worship music and reading an excerpt from Ephesians.
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For HE CHOSE US in HIM BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD to be HOLY and BLAMELESS in HIS SIGHT. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through JESUS CHRIST, in accordance with HIS PLEASURE AND WILL--to the PRAISE OF HIS GLORIOUS GRACE, which HE HAS FREELY GIVEN US in the ONE HE LOVES. IN HIM we have REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, the FORGIVENESS of SINS, in accordance with the riches of GOD'S GRACE that HE LAVISHED ON US with ALL WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING. And He made KNOWN TO US THE MYSTERY OF HIS WILL according to His good pleasure, which he purposed IN CHRIST, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment--to bring ALL THINGS IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH TOGETHER UNDER ON HEAD, EVEN CHRIST. IN HIM we were also CHOSEN, having been predestined according to the PLAN OF HIM who works out everything in CONFORMITY with the purposed of HIS WILL, in order that WE, WHO WERE THE FIRST TO HOPE IN CHRIST, might be for the PRAISE OF HIS GLORY. AND YOU ALSO WERE INCLUDED IN CHRIST when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of YOUR SALVATION. HAVING BELIEVED, YOU WERE MARKED IN HIM with a SEAL, the PROMISED HOLY SPIRIT, who is a deposit GUARANTEEING OUR INHERITANCE until the redemption of those who are GOD'S POSSESSION--TO THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY." ::Ephesians 1:3-14::

so i have this new found love: anne jackson's writing.
she is so real, honest, and true when she writes. here are some of her blogs:

www.flowerdust.net

and

www.annejacksonwrites.com

she seriously has a gift.
i was reading one of her blog posts from november on her flowerdust site and it was titled... "Have a confession to make?" - the whole project is sending in a confession that you feel you cannot say in church. This helps someone else know they are not alone....you have permission to SPEAK FREELY.
i am going to send in my deepest confession, which i do not want to enclose on here...but in the works of it, i hope i can impact someone else who has gone through the same thing as me. it's not a very common thing for women...but i know i'm not the only.

if you want to send in your confession to anne jackson and her project you have two ways...via snailmail or e-mail.

cheesy?

So lets be serious for a second....i don't like cheesy quotes.....but i found this legit quote today...even if it sounds a little cheesy.
"some good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
so i've been blogging a lot...about the same topic...maybe with you knowing maybe without. but i think this quote sums up it all into a concise sentence.

something that was thought to be good, needed to fall apart (for now, at least), and something better will come out of it.

those are my thoughts...i don't have much of a functioning brain because i have been stuck inside all day and i'm a little crazy.

i'm gonna read the help and go to bed.
love.

truth

I believe in peace, because war is not a good enough excuse.
I believe in words, because nuclear weapons are not worth the lives of others.
I believe in love, because there is too much hate.
I believe in praying, because things can change for the good.
I believe in trusting, because God will prove faithful.
I believe in truth, because lies leave pain.
I believe in God, because He is peace, words, love, listening to prayers, and trustworthy.

Earlier than I thought!

25 days, trick!

New obsession?

Thinking about colleges has been one stressful detail of my life.
Talking vigorously to my parents, hearing about a zillion colleges at once...it's crazy. But a good crazy. I love hearing stories, I love discussing potential jobs...potential schools...it's just crazy.

I do, though, have a new obsession of a job that I may very well enjoy. An HR major (Human Relations). Being with people, hiring people, firing people, reading about people...such an interesting field. I honestly want to look into this major...I think it would be such a fun career to work in.

That is my current obsession.
I also love retro accessories. Enough said.
Happy Valentine's day!

Running=LOVE

Today I did this amazing thing called running...like usual...but OUTSIDE...UNusual!
I was so excited. I had a blast. The crisp spring air is so near! I am so stoked for amazing weather!
I am also making a count down....
29 days. I cannot say what this event is-but I am pretty excited.
Let me say...after the matter you will definitely hear about it.
But 29 days...that's all. Easy as that.

Love you.

So excited!

Another thing I am happy about....Facebook videoing A Clary back and forth all the time!

Check out the hair!

Breakdown

I am kind of inspired by Jack Johnson at the moment. I am listening to his song {{Breakdown}}
So so good. Even though I don't think it has much to do with this I am going to talk about a breakdown.

Can we break down the walls that hold so much tension? Can we tear apart the masks that hold so much fear? Can we look through the real eyes with real tears? Can we be friends that know the truth when the other lies? Can we know? Can we take the time to break down the fake and open up the real?
There is so much lie, tension, fake, held tears and time wasted in this world.
I want to make a change....promote peace....understand pain...feel truth....be vulnerable again.....not be broken.....take a risk....I am going to try again, because I am not willing to give up.
Can you break down your own fears, lies, and fake "truths"? It's hard when you have been left high and dry from someone you thought was your friend. It's hard to trust again....feel again....take a risk again. Those things are hard. These things have been extremely hard. It's hard for me to trust...I have been hurt, and I am afraid of being hurt again.
I am challenging myself, though, to trust. I know God wants things to be this way...For I am not sure...but I am trusting.

Truth is;;

+You can't love, until you've been rejected
+You can't trust, until you've been hurt
+You can't care, until you've felt the pain
+You just truly can't, and now that I've felt these things....I can honestly say....I truly can.

]]You carried me my God, you carried me. I am carried to the table[[

When you're feeling down, remember that God is carrying you all the way through. He loves you...when you're broken, in shame, lost, confused, angry...he loves you. and he carries you.

Desmond Tutu

This is a man with a beautiful heart...and I just so happen to love his quotes. Here's a "Tutu" quote for the night: "Without forgiveness, there is no future."
Without fessing up to your mistakes and seeking out true forgiveness from God our future will crumble.

i'm gonna do some yoga, take some z's, and remember that tomorrow is a new day despite an awful week.
<3 me.
