Maybe this is immature of me...
There are two sides to every story, right? Generally, when I hear both sides, I can differentiate between the truth and the untruth. If I can’t… I tend to write off both sides entirely.
Be honest. It’ll all catch up to you somehow.

I'm above average.

Gossip.
is talking about a situation when you are neither part of the problem or the solution.
I have this thing I say about myself. Two words. My friends hate it, and I only believe it sometimes. “Forever Alone”.
I feel like I’ll end up choosing to be this way because I’m too scared of the alternative. I’m scared of being with someone and them leaving, like I’ve experienced in the past. I’m scared of being honest about the fact that I am so...

OH. MY. GOSH. This site is so precious. Not only does it have one of my all time favorite T.Swift songs playing, but it’s filled with adorable pictures of BABIES! Aghhh!!!!
It was a good day, and that's enough.
I'm really tired of sad posts about sucky past...
Is that really all your life is about? If (s)he walked away, GOOD. They weren’t right for you anyways. So own that truth and move on.
sperothehero asked: You let me know and I'll set up my instruments for class photo day.
WatchThis is my all time favorite Four Year Strong song. I like the original better, but at my core, I’m a sucker for bearded boys with acoustics who sing well. So… there’s that.

So, here's my problem with The Bachelor...
if you are really truly into a girl, you should be really and truly into ONLY that girl. you should want to kiss HER and no one else. you should want to treat her like a princess, not her, the girl next to her, and the girl next to that girl.
seriously, ladies! raise the bar on “your man”.

7 Reasons Christians Can’t or Don’t Obey John 13:14
We lack the assurance of who we are. Read John 13:3. Jesus knew what the Father had given Him. He knew His position with His Father. He had nothing to prove; therefore, He was not humiliated by humility. We are coheirs with Christ (Romans 8). If you know who you are in Christ, your personal ego is not really an issue. Sadly, most...

Great Day.
Went to church and heard pretty much exactly what I needed to hear.
Got along fabulously with my mom, for the first time in a long time.
Laughed a lot with Sam.
Rearranged the furniture in my bedroom. It’s so much more me now.
I finally wrote my first letter to my penpals. (Sorry for taking so long, ladies!)
And everything was just all around wonderful :)
Living Beyond Breathing, Pt. 1
Today, I was sitting at home listening to an old podcast of Awake, the young adults service I would go to at home (awesome group, btw. If you live in VB/Norfolk, I would highly recommend checking it out). The series they were on when this podcast was made is called, “Living Beyond Breathing”, and it caught my attention because that’s what I have been longing for…. to feel...

"The Glory of the Lord will appear to you."
I started back up in my Beth Moore study, and, MAN, was it awesome!! The reading today was jam packed with lessons on obedience, joy, sacrifice, and responsibility.
Most of what the study had me reading today was out of Leviticus, specifically chapter 9.
Then Moses told them, “When you have followed these instructions from the LORD, the glorious presence of the LORD will appear to...
