Does your blinker freeze?

I am convinced that there is blinker fluid. I was driving the other night when it was about -22000.500 degrees outside, and I needed to turn right so I put my blinker on. The light turned on, but it refused to blink. I at least thought to frantically turn it off and on to make it appear like it was blinking. I had to make that silly blinker blink. Without success, I hit it and jiggled it and flicked it up and down until I came to the moment of realization. It just needs to thaw! And sure enough, the next day when I needed to turn a corner, my blinker blinked.

If I had to be someone else...

I would be Audrey Hepburn, ok so my first choice is Joan of Arc but I wouldn't mind being Hepburn! She's elegant, beautiful, with a silly innocence in the way she carries herself, but she has an unexpected spunk. Many of her movies are some of my all-time favorites like "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Classics. I'm currently watching "Funny Face"...well while double tasking. She's silly and beautiful and sort of out of control. Ah so absolutely beautiful! ;)

Sometimes, I am scared of the next day or the next year, and sometimes when I really get to thinking too much, I 'm scared of life. And it's when I let the fear take over that I freeze. I can't go on. But then I go to mass, and I'm forced to stop for just a moment, really stop and take a break from the rush of life. What am I afraid of? Failure? Loss of a loved one? Pain? Death? How can I fear these when I can receive my God in the humblest form of bread? Neither failure nor loss nor pain nor death can ever stop me from fulfilling my purpose, to love and be loved by God. He is my beginning and my end; and if I only surrender all of my fears to Him, I reach All that Matters. The one who is anchored to the cross can never be destroyed by trial.

Love

Final Adventures

I am considering at this moment that next week could be my last week of finals EVER!!! How unreal is that? Ok true, so I am dreaming of going to grad school one day but to be graduating with a bachelor's degree finally after years of all nighters and tears and throwing pillows across my room in rage, I'm DONE....Please, I just need a moment...ok, I think I'm good now.

I feel almost as though I'm floating in limbo at this moment. I do have dreams, lots of dreams. Dreams of where I want to live and travel, dreams of what I want to do and become. I have NO IDEA where God may be taking me in the next week, month, year. I am still waiting to hear if someone is brave enough to hire me. Absolutely terrifying but so beautiful at the same time. It's as though I'm free falling through the air and I can only trust that God will catch me. Not exactly the way I prefer to do things. I would love to have my life a little more scheduled out, but God really isn't giving much of a choice.

This morning, I dragged myself out of bed to be shocked by the cold air in my room. I grumbled as I showered, dressed, and started my car. While I was walking to Jerdine Hall on campus, it suddenly hit me. We are SO blessed! To have warm water for showers, heat for our homes and cars, thick coats for these blustery winters. We haven't always had such conveniences, and here I am complaining. I have no reason to be worried about my future. God takes care of my most miniscule needs. Thank you God for taking care of me and putting up with my whines!

I need to get back to finishing my final papers and projects.... I'll write to you soon!

Sincerely,
Winded
