Like real talk. The world really is treating my life. The good news is my eyeZ and mind are wide open and I'm paying attention so I'm catching the hints. Thanks to Love for the advice. Every time I've opened fb today or searched for something on google I've gotten exactly the message I needed to see.
"Take away my foolish desires, and let me find life by
walking with you.-Psalm 119:37
BE JOYFUL!

Some Biblical Verses That Helped Me Get Through Today
I took today for myself. It was wonderful. I will return to the chipper smiles and encouraging of all those around me tomorrow. It was a wonderful vacation. These bible verses and Maria de Zayas "El Jardin Enganaso" made my day.
1 John 3:16
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
1 John 3:18
Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
Proverbs 17:9
Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.
Proverbs 17:17
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Proverbs 30:18-19
There are three things that amaze me—
no, four things that I don’t understand:
how an eagle glides through the sky,
how a snake slithers on a rock,
how a ship navigates the ocean,
how a man loves a woman.
John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
1 Corinthians 13:1-8a and 13
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails....And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Peter 4:8
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
SO LOVE STRONG. FOR LOVE CONQUERS ALL AND CAN MEND ALL PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE IT. I SPEAK THIS TRUTH INTO EXISTENCE IF IT WAS NOT TRUE ALREADY.

2:11 am thoughts on 2/11
Individualism is really important to me. Talking with friends and students about their backgrounds and experiences has always interested me. I love learning about others and sharing about myself. I think a true testament to a friendship is really understanding your own identity or striving to do so...while at the same time learning about friends identities and encouraging them to continue their self discovering and self-discovery.
This is my last semester of senior year. It's a celebration...but it's also about discovery. I've already had so many new experiences in the last year and I'm looking forward to so many more.
I was already determined to know more about my own family heritage starting this year, but one of my friends determination and success at bettering her self has inspired me to really work on knowing myself, and working on me this year.
It might sound selfish, but it's necessary.
So watch out world.
Here goes nothing.
