to keep myself sane.

i know it's late..but honestly i need to keep myself sane. put my never ending thoughts somewhere.
not that these thoughts are necessarily bad, but they just need to be put somewhere else, too.

#1) i have been growing so much in my faith lately. i find myself listening to christian music more often/singing it more often. i told one of my good friends the other day "you know, i have never realized how much i have appreciated ktis until this year." she had the same exact response. we both hadn't listened to it like at all.
also, i have been making a conscious effort to read my bible or at the minimum read crazy love every single day. i realized that my prayers that put me to sleep and wake me up each morning..just.don't.cut.it. i have been growing so much.
#2) anne jackson is kind of my hero. a woman of utter worth, and someone..who understands a lot of people who feel alone. a woman who was addicted to porn. now, your mind is probably thinking girls don't get addicted to porn. never!
but seriously, it is just as much of a struggle for girls as it is guys. like she explains in this video, it's a natural thing for guys to be addicted to porn, but it seems so weird for a girl to be. just watch this story and you'll be amazed. just like i was. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDAuLyHqAdE
#3) i miss hawaii. i miss warm weather. i am kind of sick of school. i am so excited for summer.

Peace

wow!

so i haven't updated in forever people! i am safe and sound in mn.
my trip to hawaii was wonderful. seriously loved it.
i got some kona coffee to bring home, chocolate covered macadamia nuts, ect.
it was so great to be able to see God's beautiful paintings across the sky while i was there. the people were so accepting of who you were...seriously no one judges there. love.
anyway, allie and i went to lifetime today and WORKED OUT. felt amazing! I came home to my mom gone @ a meeting, and my dad still on his trip (aka a house with no one else home). i usually like people around, to socialize with...but every once and a while it's nice to have the house to myself. i made pasta and pesto, and drank oj. then i turned on american idol! i am shocked by tonights' results!! i am thrilled, though.

i just also want to give a shout out to the person who reached out to me this week...(even if it was in a bathroom). i think some misunderstandings and other things have made us not see each other for like EVER! you know who you are and i love you : )).

ok peace out girl scouts.

I LOVE IT HERE

well it is day two in hawaii. only six10 am here (so weird that it is 1110 at home right now). but anyway, i am loving this weather...and currently, i am watching the sun slowly creep above the horizon. so pretty.
yesterday my mom and i went to the beach while my dad was in his confrence (poor guy), and we lubed up like crazy and we are BURNT. but i guess that's the life of norwegian skined people.
after we sunned for a while, we walked across the street, and found a sushi place. we got rainbow sushi after a recommendation of it, and i also got a mango bubble tea! so good.

now it is 7am and we have been watching the sunrise. and we just got room service delivered, and i am drinking a super super good smoothie with a boost of protein! so delish.
this is going to make for a very good day at the pool : ).

mango bubble tea!

room service!

<3, rebs

I am leaving this home. I am leaving this cold weather. I am ready for something new.
I have some very long flights today. That is ok, I am so excited.
luaus, getting tan, drinking coconuts, seeing palm trees...ect.
