Cliche I know, but... there's truth to it.
"Be the change you want to see in the world"-Gandhi

" Walk this life beneath the stars
Contemplate just who we are
Against the backdrop of knowing God

Will our lives reflect the Maker
Of the sky we're living under
It changes all to know You're really there
When the space between us falls apart
You're the bridge that spans our hearts"

When I'm heavy with burdens, I find myself losing track of what is most important. I forget it's all in God's hands, thinking somehow I'm in control of these situations. It pains me at times knowing I'm not in control of my own life. On the other hand, it takes the pressure off knowing I am not my own.
I am His, and He is mine. And I don't need anything else, besides, what else/ who else can bring me more joy and peace than God?

no valer la pena
it's not worth holding on to unimportant things. let them go.don't hold those grudges. forgive others, forgive yourself.life is too short to be unhappy, be content in who you are and what you have.
it's not worth worrying over things you cannot control or even the ones you can.
it is not worth it.

There is nothing He can't handle. Whatever the size of a challenge, or the uncertanties of the coming day... God is bigger.

I need to remember that God is bigger.

God is bigger.

I love the juke commercials. They make me happy. (=

God understands our prayers even when we can't find the words to say them.

This past week went by so fast, I don't know where the time went.
Here's to tears, fears, hugs, and moments that hopefully are never forgotten.

Now off to a block party in the cityyy!

Matt Nathanson is the man. I love him. I love his music. And you should too. period.

Dear Professor Millington,

Thank you for your letter of March 16. After careful consideration, I
regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me
an assistant professor position in your department.

This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually
large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field
of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.

Despite Whitson's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in
rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at
this time. Therefore, I will assume the position of assistant professor
in your department this August. I look forward to seeing you then.

Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.

Sincerely,
Chris L. Jensen

                              I'm so easily amused...

Snippets of his writing that caused great amusement:

When it was her turn at the styling table, Amy said, “I want to look like someone has beaten the shit out of me.” The makeup artist did a fine job... Amy adored both the new look and the new person it allowed her to be. Following the photo shoot, she wore her bruises to the dry cleaner and the grocery store. Most people nervously looked away, but on the rare occasions someone would ask what happened, my sister would smile as brightly as possible, saying, “I’m in love. Can you believe it? I’m finally, totally in love, and I feel great.”

 How many grains of sand are there in the world? A lot. Case closed.
 
A week after putting her to sleep, I received Neil's ashes in a forest green can. She'd never expressed any great interest in the outdoors, so I scattered her remains on the carpet and then vacuumed her back up.

My only comfort was the knowledge that I was not alone. Huddled in the hallways and making the most of our pathetic French, my fellow students and I engaged in the sort of conversation commonly overheard in refugee camps.
"Sometimes me cry alone at night."
"That be common for I, also, but be more strong, you. Much work and someday you talk pretty. People start love you soon. Maybe tomorrow, okay."

I saw Dark Knight yesterday-- it was so flippin' good! I thought Heath Ledger was fantastic as the Joker. It was an incredible performance.
The movie was great. The only negative I have to say is that it's long. 2 and 1/2 hours in a movie theater is cutting it close for me.
