I'm still alive!

Hey it's been a while! For the last 30 minutes I've been scribbling in my journal and jotting down all the wonders of life, all the workings of my heart. I began writing some of it here to share, but . . . somehow I feel like that would spoil it. Instead I'll give you a little taste of today.

Things I felt today:
tender mercies. Lively!
Empowered. Purposeful.
ALIVE. present. grateful.
Certain.

Things I did today:
*Got my practicum placements. 4th grade, baby!
*Went to class :)
*Went to the BYU Devo and got my spiritual socks rocked off! (You'll probs be able to find and listen to it here in a couple of days. Elder Kikuchi is the man!)
*Turned in my Internship Application. Scary.
*Made a HUGE decision about the future. Gah!
*Bought a new journal. Mmmm.
*Went to work with some cool peeps.
*Had "just a salad" for dinner (haha! Seinfeld anyone?)

New favorite scripture that I read today:
Jacob 3:2 "O all ye that are pure in heart, lift up your heads and receive the pleasing word of God, and fest upon his love; for ye may, if your minds are firm, forever."

Things I am procrastinating on and will begin as soon as I click "Publish Post:"
Homework

peace and blessings,

"Turn to the Lord. Exercise all of the faith you have in Him. Let Him share your burden. Allow His grace to lighten your load."

Holga love

If change is the spice of life then my life is the taco bell hot sauce flavor "fire!"

Remember last year? I was waiting, anticipating specific things that I knew would happen. Now I am waiting for things that I don't know will happen . . . yet.

Fall is sure to bring many spicy changes. I am ready to move on and experience new things. I am anxious.

Also I just really want a nap ;)

Jonah day no more!

Also here's another holga picture to wet your appetite:

"It had always seemed to Emily, ever since she could remember, that she was very, very near to a world of wonderful beauty. Between it and herself hung only a thin curtain; she could never draw the curtain aside--but sometimes, just for a moment, a wind fluttered it and then it was as if she caught a glimpse of the enchanting realm beyond--only a glimpse--and heard a note of unearthly music. This moment came rarely--went swiftly, leaving her breathless with the inexpressible delight of it . . ." ~ Emily of New Moon, L.M. Montgomery.

I finally got my holga film developed. The pictures make me happy. Thank you best friends for my beautiful Hogla 120N for my birth(day) last year. I love my plastic camera :)

More treasures to come.
