The WORD

I have so much love for my Bible study girls. It’s ridiculous how much God has done in our lives in just 4 months.

Favorite Lessons Learned in April 2013

  • 4/2: Nothing will get in the way of God’s plan for you. Absolutely nothing.
  • 4/3: People will most likely work with you if you just explain your circumstance. Very few things are set in stone.
  • 4/4: Start small, go big.
  • 4/7: Femininity is not a weakness.
  • 4/8: Take time to do the things that you enjoy.
  • 4/11: Dress for the way that you want the day to go.
  • 4/13: Spending a day with family and friends is a day well spent.
  • 4/14: Struggles are just as important to talk about as triumphs.
  • 4/17: Feeling LOVED and ACCEPTED are fundamental to the human experience. Without these part of what makes us human will ALWAYS be thirsty.
  • 4/17: Know who to run to for safety.
  • 4/19: Nicknames are important. They bind you to others.
  • 4/21: Be willing to learn about things that you don’t naturally like.
  • 4/22: Be FEARLESS about doing the things you KNOW you need to do.
  • 4/23: You don’t need to prove yourself, just show yourself.
  • 4/24: Take every opportunity to understand yourself better.
  • 4/25: When you need a little break from the cold monotony, get a little warm sunlight. Fixes don’t have to be that complicated.
  • 4/27: Relationships are more important than plans and they usually take more time and energy to cultivate.

Sleepy

Sometimes I get to this state where I have had so much going on for so long… that I just get sleepy and content. Like bad things can’t touch me.

I stop worrying. I stop freaking out. I stop running everywhere.

It will get done.

It will be okay.

Everything is fine.

Today is one of those days. I am tired, but not cranky or ready to sleep. I’m just.. floating. The Lord providess.

Only 3 more weeks and I will be HALFWAY done with my Master of Social Work. It’s been quite the year. So filled. So full.

While driving to LA for a weekend-long procedure, I found this little gem in my mom’s CD player. Surprise! Thank you Evan for putting a little Ke$ha in my mom’s life hahaha.

I have the best mama.

If you can’t handle the Deanna, get out of the MSW Program.

Josh (he is very good at cheering me up)

How could I not support you? You are pretty special. Just make sure that boyfriend of yours treats you well and doesn’t break your heart. I like him.

Susan (during a support email)

Life keeps moving pretty fast.

So much to do before the quarter ends.

Not sure how I am going to find time to support raise.

AND be a Master

AND lead a Bible study

AND work with international students

AND be in a Bible study

AND help lead Cru

AND have two jobs.

Good thing my God is so big.

We say yes to you Jesus.

We say yes to your love.

Character Strengths Profile

For an MSW class I had to take a test online with like 150 questions about me. Afterwards they gave me my five most prominent character strengths. Here they are.

  1. Love: You value close relations with others, in particular those in which sharing and caring are reciprocated. The people to whom you feel most close are the people who feel most close to you.
  2. Creativity: Thinking of new ways to do things is a crucial part of who you are. You are never content with doing something the conventional way if a better way is possible.
  3. Curiosity: You are curious about everything. You are always asking questions, and you find all subjects fascinating  You like exploration and discovery.
  4. Fairness: Treating all people fairly is one of your abiding principles. You do not let your personal feelings bias your decisions about other people. You give everyone a chance.
  5. Honesty: You are an honest person, not only by speaking the truth but by living your life in a genuine and authentic way. You are down to earth and without pretense; you are a “real” person.

I would say those pretty much describe me :)
