it's the weekend!

after a long, stressful week i plan on doing nothing but sitting in my lawn chair by the pool all weekend long! yay for summer weather and good times with great friends :)

footprints in the sand.

one of my favorite stories is the story about footprints in the sand; God carrying us when we don't even know he is doing it. this story keeps me feeling at peace especially when i am experiencing a lot of stress-- like right now in my life. schoolwork and my job is very demanding at the moment, but i've learned to take some quiet time and find serenity in the silence. happy valentine's day!

God has a sense of humor.

while driving on campus, i noticed a funny sign in front of the catholic church:

the platypus is a sign that God has a sense of humor.

i laughed and thought to myself this could not be any more true! not just the platypus part, but the God having a funny sense of humor part. he works in mysterious ways, and the older i get the more i realize this in my life.

i am constantly trying to find answers in my life- why did this happen to me, why hasn't this happened yet, blah blah etc. but i'm learning that if i just keep asking questions, life will pass me by. i need to trust that whatever is meant to happen will work itself out. so while i am trying to find explanations in my life, it is just as important to take time to enjoy things just as they already are! 

we live in a beautiful world.
