A baby, Bible, moon, & slush

These really are some of my very favorite things:
- eating breakfast by this cutie
- having Bible study with lots of blankets & girls I've known for years
- a pretty moon
- a tasty slush

10

Today I cut off 10+" of my hair. It's a big change, that's for sure, but I love it so far!

Lunch

Sometimes, as in every school day, I eat lunch with these chicas. Today Kalyn took my phone & took this picture. Me? I'm the one with the hands over my face.

Lemonade

Today...practice was short & I drank lemonade while filming it, so I'd say practice wasn't too bad today.

Film

Film has pretty much been my life the last few weeks. It's tiring, but worth it.

Homecoming Festivities

Today...

- I ate some Chick-Fil-A.
- I filmed my first varsity game, which also happened to be the Homecoming game. We won 20-7!

Homecoming Parade

Today after school we had the Homecoming Parade. I felt awkward, but it was kind of fun to see some people I know.

People are actually bananas

Tonight I had a revelation: people are like bananas. Now before you write me off as insane, hear me out.

When you look at a banana, you can tell if it's bruised on the inside or not. At least that's what you think. As you can see in the below picture, my banana looks just fine. Take away the peel, though, and you can see that it was icky inside. I think people are like that. Some of us put up a front to make it look like we're fine, but when people get to know us they see that we're actually bruised. Some bananas, though, look sick to begin with. The peel and the inside are gross. I do everything to avoid people AND bananas like that. Why? Because I know those bananas will be gross (aside from those that are actually fine when you take away the peel...). I avoid people like that because I don't want to deal with them. That's something I'm working on, so we won't get into that now.

What is the point of this post? You've heard it before, but don't judge a book by it's cover, or, in this case, a banana by it's peel/a person by how they act.

"Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace." - Romans 8:5, 6 NIV

Fire

I don't know if you can tell, but I love the sky. Sunsets, specifically. This evening I went to Bible study, and when we finished up we looked across the street to see this. Thank you, God.


"For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God."
- Psalm 62:5-7, ESV

Dinner by the lake

Tonight we had dinner with friends. This is a view of the lake from the deck of the restaurant. Not too shabby.


"The LORD is my shepherd.
I lack nothing.
He lets me rest in grassy meadows;
he leads me to restful waters;
he keeps me alive.
He guides me in proper paths
for the sake of his good name.
Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,
I fear no danger
because you are with me.
Your rod and your staff—
they protect me.
You set a table for me
right in front of my enemies.
You bathe my head in oil;
my cup is so full it spills over!
Yes, goodness and faithful love
will pursue me all the days of my life,
and I will live in the LORD’s house
as long as I live."

- Psalms 23:1-6, CEB

OCD?

Today I corrected how one of my best friends made a whale in a text. Does that make me a tad OCD?

Stylish

Does anyone still say that anymore? "Stylish"? It sounds so elementary. But then again, so is cuffing your jeans. Especially when your socks are showing...

Saturday

Today felt like a Saturday. NEWS FLASH: today was a Monday.

We had, what will possibly be, our last sno cones, with our friends at our favorite sno cone place, of the year.
