some sugar and spice.

Sometimes I wish I was Shauna Niequist. And drank wine and held dinner parties, and wrote cool vignets to put in novels, like Cold Tangerines, or Bittersweet.

Or that I was Zoey Deschanel and was with Joseph Gordon Levitt in 500 days of summer.

Let's be honest,

books and movies can ruin our lives.


Nothing on the screen is real. You can say reality tv is true reality, but it's cut up and taken apart and your context is upside down.

Nothing on the screen is real.

So why do I compare my life to what I see? Why do I say, I wish I had that, when "that" doesn't even exist???

Where does contentment come from, here.





..

Goals for B quad and forever:

spend more time reading the Bible, to try and shape my whacked perspective

find joy in the Lord, in whom joy truly lies.



and STOP chasing after love spelled e-m-p-t-y.
it's just not a good way to go.



oh,

how I wish I could see more than this little glimpse of life I do.

I pray to learn, and to know,

and to find rest in his strength


because knowing freaks me out.

if I knew about stuff,

I'd have to do something about it.


My to-do list grows by the minute.
