*Thoughts on Nipto

Dear God,

I start an unofficial nipto tomorrow. But I don't want that "unofficial" part to make this become a half-hearted thing. Lord, I want to do this to get closer to you. I'm using this as a tool to draw me closer to you. It will help me actually spend the time I want (and need) to spend with you.

So yes. I'm starting nipto. And I am going to DO it. With your help. This is my resolution. Lord willing and the creek don't rise, I will find the time.

Lord, you deserve my time. I can't walk by the Spirit without this. Thank you for your love. I want to give it back :-)

Love,

Thoughts on work, laughter, and motivation

Dear God,

Thank you for the awesome work shifts! I had so much fun hanging out with the people and seeing so many familiar faces!

If you could give me some direction about the trainer deal, that'd be great.

Oh, and thanks for Katie coming home. We've laughed a ton and had so many ridiculous tangents. "There was... one rat." "But there wouldn't be any control group!"... "One Psych ward fits them all." and all those other crazy quotes that I can't remember. That's sad.

Ummm I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Day 58 is almost over. Day 59 is going to be awesome.

Oh, and if you could clear up the whole Wick thing too, and help Dad and I find the motivation for the Timken thing (:) that would be awesome!

Good night, God.
Love,

Thoughts on Inconvenience

Dear God,

Why do you have to give me epiphanies right when I'm trying to go to bed? It is inconvenient. But then again, if I'm being honest with you, God, I probably would have found something else to do. So I guess that God-given epiphanies are better than scrolling through 100 pages of flair on Facebook.

But really.

I'm going to bed now.

Love,

Thoughts on this February morning

Dear God,

I love being able to talk about what is going on in my life. Thanks for blessing me with such amazing people to support me. Thanks for the flexibility to do that without school taking up all my time :-)

Thank you for Pride and Prejudice. It's a great book. Their love is nowhere close to your love for me, however. Oh, what a blessing it is to be able to say that!

"Your love... is extravagant..."

Love,


P.S. The snow is beautiful! Thanks for the bigger flakes, they're better than the tiny ones you were sending down before. Oh, and making sure they melt on the roads? That was a nice touch.

*Thoughts on Psalm 139

Dear God,

Psalm 139 Rocks.

You're a creeper. Not gonna lie.

But it's nice to know you're always here and you always will be. Even if I dwell by the farthest oceans...

Search me, O God...

Love,
