"If you haven't found something worth dying for, you haven't found a reason to live."
Minister David John said that at church last night. Calla turned to me and said "What would you die for?"
And to be honest, I didn't know. I'd like to think I'd die for the cause of Christ.. but when it comes down to it, would I?
I'm terrible at updating. It's that darn iPod. Since it has Internet access, I never get on my computer anymore. I don't even take pictures anymore, and I'm not sure why. Maybe I'm not motivated, maybe I'm bored of it, maybe I have no creativity. And maybe all I do anymore is work, sleep and play Solitaire.
I don't even work that much. I used to work 5-7 days a week, typically closer to six or seven. Since Christmas, I'm lucky to get three or four days a week. The break is nice but makes it harder to go back to work after having so much down time.
I think a lot. I don't read as much and I don't see people as much as I used to but I think. And I don't know if it's good for me or not because it doesn't seem to do much but make me worry or make me judgemental.
This entry sounds unhappy. Let's lighten it up.
Good things in my life right now:
1. God. As always. I think about Him the most. He is amazing and continually surprises me. I learn more about Him every day and love Him more every day.. and love sharing Him with people! I talk about Him a lot with Cit and Connor lately..
2. Cit & Connor. Two relatively new friends that I've been hanging around with more and I think I'm in love with. Cit is the sweetest girl with the sweetest heart and she likes me so much for some reason! And I like her. She's gone through so much and is still such a happy, loving girl. I really admire her strength. & Connor is just something else. That boy makes me laugh and makes me think and makes me happy to have him around.
3. I'm learning to accept my appearance and actually be okay with how I look. Like it, even. And I'm so happy. It's been a long, hard road of self-loathing and I'm realizing that it is so wrong to hate yourself. I am a daughter of GOD, daughter of a King! I am made in the image of the Creator. I know it's an insult to God to not love what He has given me. And in all actuality, I don't need to be perfect. I don't need to look perfect. I can keep my not-so-thin body and annoying skin and my uncooperative hair and crooked smile. Thank God I have ears to hear and legs to walk, eh?
4. Solitaire on my iPod. I know this sounds lame, but hear me out: Coming home after a long day of school & drivers ed. and work and being able to lay in bed and play 20 games of Solitaire on my iPod Touch is my idea of paradise.
5. And yes, I did say drivers ed in number 4. While the class itself is intolerable and quite hilarious (in a bad, intolerable way), I'm nearly done with it and I'll finally have my stinkin' permit and in about 3 1/2 months, I'll be able to get my license. Crazy, I know-- Lynette driving?
6. Calla freaking Bradley. Talking about God & life & everything for a good hour last night. Need I say more? That girl completes me.
7. Open Mic nights at the Plymouth Coffee Bean. Sometimes kind of annoying and full of "bean rats" but I rather enjoy being with my friends and drinking delicious coffee in warm, dim lighting and watching other friends perform wonderful (or not so wonderful but definitely entertaining) musical feats. :)
8. Spring is approaching! We've had a few of those warm Spring-y days teasing us already. And granted, it was so cold today that I swore I had frost bite on several different occasions, I KNOW SPRING IS COMING!!!!
