Love Life

THIS IS ME...

Can I just spend one minute in the middle of this fine Thursday afternoon to RANT about how much I LOVE LIFE lately???

I mean, I absolutely love it. I don't even know why - I just feel so happy inside.
Each morning, I wake up wondering if things could really be this good... and each morning, they really really are.


I was talking to Grant last night (hi Grant) and we were talking about how many "good days" in a row we have had... So, I ventured through my little pocketbook calendar and counted for overall good days (days where the positives outweighed the negatives and where I genuinely felt very happy to be alive) - and I had 31 before I hit a day where I questioned whether or not it was really a good one. Beyond that Sunday, there were more good days in a row.


I just don't get it - why is all this greatness coming at once?! Why am I so happy? I haven't experienced joy like this since I was a kid.
As I've mentioned to a few friends, it kind of scares me really - I feel like something major could just go wrong at any minute to take this joy away from me.

But - in the meantime, I'm going to praise the Name of God and live this up.
I only get to have one 19-year-old summer in my life - and so far, it will be one that I could never regret! :)

Breaking News. . .

This just in...
Rachel just finished her FINAL Romans exam... and... maybe even did well.
YEAHHHHH BABY. One final down and five to go. And yet... I'm feelin perdy dern good. ; )
So.... here's the plan... escape from Crown in a few minutes to a nearby coffee shop with Lisa to study for my PBI final tonight.

Recent challenge for me: I want to love regardless of the risks... regardless of how much it might hurt me in the long run. I want my love to be so selfless that it doesn't stop to think twice about how I might benefit or lose from the situation. I want to value what I've been
given here and now. Afterall, isn't that what love really is? Isn't that what Jesus did? So... cheers to long nights awake wondering why things have to hurt... and to sucking it up and loving on anyways.
Grant, if you read this, I know you know what I'm talking about. : )

How is your week going? What is going better than expected? What could be better? Let me know... I will pray for you.
