january twenty-fourth...

Erica and I cleaned EVERYTHING today! And it feels so wonderful to come back to a clean house...it's definitely helping my mood which hasn't been so terrific lately and i'm not entirely sure why. I think it's just been one of those days today, when nothing really seems to go right, but a few things did brighten my day today. Like hearing abby's surgery went well, no tuberculosis running wild in tattnall county, and catching up with beth who apparently thinks the moon is edible. I actually managed to accomplish all of my spanish homework and about a fourth of the reading I should've done for today. And what's sad is that it's not because I don't like to read, it's because I do and can't quit reading other things to read what I need to!

verse i'm loving today: 2nd Timothy 1:7- "for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power of love and self-control." That is so cool to me, a spirit of power. Power to conquer the things that hold us back, power to be released from the bondage that burdens us, and power to overcome what is impossible to man. I'm continually amazed by His provision everyday, in the smallest and simplest of ways. He really is in the details!!

best song ever (I tend to exaggerate, so by ever I probably mean this week)- Addison Road: Won't Let Me Go...

"I feel your love that surrounds me

My world can shake but it won't drown me

'Cause I'm trusting you

No matter what I'm going through"

...I can't say it any better than that. And I can't hope for anything better than that. There's just so much truth in that. I just love her music. And did I mention she covered Always Love by Nada Surf, which is a song i've loved since I was probably fourteen. So wonderful, seriously go listen.

today i'm asking for prayer for one of my closest friends, she's dealing with a lot of possible change right now and she's unsure of how to handle that. I just ask that you would give her discernment in that area and that she would know your will for that Father.

...my room is clean! and yes, I do have a big teddy bear, i think it's endearing.

Goodnight everyone, sweet dreams. I'm bringing that back...I don't think people say it enough and some of us need it since we have nightmares about purple kangaroos.
