"Please, stand inside me"

Gonna eat some Ramen and enjoy the cold weather today.

Note to self--invest in this thing called a jacket. Not a hoodie, a jacket. :P

After all, jackets are legit.

Not even 60 degrees outside today. :) One of the perks of living in Arizona...when the cold weather comes, I enjoy it so much more because we pretty much never have it except for this one time during the year.

Success! I wrote a poem a few nights ago. Do you find it easier to write at night, as compared to writing in the day? I do. I think it's because I ask more questions at night. I wonder if that's universal for everyone.

Then again, Annie is just full of questions no matter the time of day.

"Is my message getting through?"

:)

And yet again life is still getting more interesting.

Officially, things are unofficial. It's pretty cool if you ask me. Kind of hard not to get consumed in it. I keep trying to turn my heart to the Lord though, for direction in all things. If no one gets what I'm talking about, don't worry about it. Just nod your head. :)

I have work tonight. Bahhh :( why can I not get used to working Tuesdays again? It feels weird all of a sudden. Speaking of jobs, mom starts her new job today. I'm excited for her! She's finally gotten out of the grocery business to go back to her first love (or is it? haha) which is doing hair. Congrats, Mom!

School is finally wrapping up for the year....can't say I'm not looking forward to it. :)

I really am!

"All the people on the street know."

Hebrews 11:6

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

Life is interesting lately.

Phantom of the Opera was wonderful. At least that's what mom says, and I'm glad she thinks so, because it was for her. The beginning was the best part, with the raising of the chandelier and the music starting.....and I would so go again. :)

Persuasive essay doesn't sound very persuading. I have another week before I turn it in, but I confess, this is a challenging piece for me. Wasn't sure if I'd ever say this...but Lord knows I'll be glad when English 101 is over.

I cannot deny that I am blessed all the time, because God is good all the time. However, I do feel blessed lately. I'm enjoying fellowship, prayer, cold weather, and Starbucks. God, may I not take these things for granted.

Even after these long silences....I still want to write that best seller.

Just thought it should be said.

"It's that time of year, leave all our hopelessness's aside"

Psalm 17: 6-8

I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; inclinde your ear to me; hear my words.

Wondrously show your steadfast love, O Savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at your right hand.

Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings,

Psalm 19:14

"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer."

My college class has us doing observation essays. Supposedly, the observation essay is one of the hardest essays to write. It's been my favorite one so far though :) I'm really hoping to get a hundred percent on this one, but we'll see, right?

Next up we have to do persuasive essays. At first I was going to use abortion as my topic, then I decided on recycling instead. Now I just don't know, and I am nervous about this essay. Why? It's not that I don't have strong beliefs, because I do. I just don't think any of my beliefs are five pages long.

Work is anything but fun lately. Not just for me, but for my mom and dad too. I know work isn't supposed to be "fun" but does it have to be so lame? I sort of had a mini-breakdown over the weekend and I'm not sure how I'm going to get through the holiday season at Wild Flower. It's busy and work is not equally given. God, I know it is in your hands.

I just hate feeling like I don't glorify my savior at my job anymore. Or did I ever?

My writing has come to a stand still (yes, again) and I think I may have to force the issue. Regardless of whether or not it turns out silly, I have to make the time to do it.

You always have to make the time.
