Picture perfect, someday.

Learning to be patient, peaceful, and grateful through the waiting. So hard, but when my sight is clear and my focus correct, it’s bliss to know that my blessed Jesus is working his perfect and creative work in me.

God’s promises are well worth waiting for. I need to constantly remind myself of this.

I used to think that, if we kept some things from friends and loved ones, we could keep our relationships from the danger of falling into a boring little bog, and life would be more fun because there would always be that tidbit more to find out. But these days, I’m really enjoying the freedom in just being honest, and having nothing to hide.

I used to think that, by my engineering, no one person knew all there was to know about me. But these days, I might have reason to doubt that.

The key, till it rusts.

Dare I say, that the key to life is understanding?

Not being understanding, but actually understanding (as a verb on its own) as a starting point. A starting point for forming judgments, and for proceeding.

Stating the “key to life” seems a large, haughty call for anyone to make, but one that I do make.

“Do you know what the good thing about having a 100% exam is? At least you know you still have the chance to get full marks.”

I would’ve hit hit her, but I couldn’t move because I was so stunned.

Background info: Most law exams (if you’re lazy smart like me and choose not to do the optional assignments) are 100% exams. Stress.

go where the heart beats.

PENTHESILEA

Diomedes: Come, friends! What can we do?

Odysseus: What our hearts command us to, my Kings!

Come, let us go and take him from the Queen!

And if we have to risk our lives for him,

[So be it.]

I’m not perfect, but I’m so blessed. Because I know Jesus, and in Him (and through Him, and for Him) is everything.
